GDT: Schlop Schlop Schlop - Oilers at Kongs 8:30PM

[Oilers in NS]

The might be the most boring period of hockey I've ever seen... you have to think this favours LA... but good lord is it boring.

1995 Devils firewagon hockey

You'd think we were losing based on some of these comments.

LA is suffocating us, and it feels like these types of games more often than not do not go our way. It’ll be a test to see if we really are a better team defensively than we have been for the first half of the season.

 

[soothsayer]

That was the hockey equivalent of a warm glass of milk at 9 PM on a Tuesday night.

 

[Sra1974]

Figured

We got asked when the fights were scheduled for. Just lots of people sort of checking th game out for the first time.

Was still fun. Got to meet Rod Philips and Semenko was doing colour. There was no press box they were just in an upper section calling the game. Afterwards we met a few of the Oilers outside the rink, which was in a really sketchy area of town at the time.

Luckily he's coaching against the king of not adapting, McLellan

Koala has a fever. And the only cure. Is more players stacked on the blue line

 

[oXo Cube]

Definitely some poor puck management that period, but the Kings are just not very threatening.

 

[Leonardlizard]

Wish we didn't play reactionary hockey and played how we wanted not how they want

 

[Cloned]

get used to it

I’d rather not

We tried that the first two games we played them and got absolutely owned trying to skate through the wall at the blue line.

What area of town is it( nice?, safe?) how much a ticket

It’s in Anaheim which is southeast of LA. Pretty safe I stayed in LA and took a train there somehow. Tickets were 50 bucks US lower bowl. Back when the ducks were good like 2010 or so.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

I believe in Woody coming with a plan!

 

[nexttothemoon]

I have the cure for this.. need more bombs from the point to either get junk rebounds/deflections/tips around the net... or hurt some LA players with those bombs.

I'd have 2 dmen on the PP and blast shots from the points as much as possible.

 

[5 14 6 1]

Can't wait to watch this for 7 games

 

[harpoon]

Anyone on this board ever been to LA for a game?

Multiple times.

I think watching golf reruns would be more exciting tonight

That's not how you beat the Kings. The key is patience believe it or not, the Kings are just waiting for the Oilers to make a mistake so don't give it to them. They need to win more puck battles, just not enough "want" in that period.

 

[Kerberos]

Can't even rely on our PP to scratch out games against this team if we meet them in the playoffs.

0/11 on the year against a garbage PK because our guys can't adapt to their agressive kill when they play us.

It’s a fine line

I’m gonna do a Westcoast swing. I was in San Diego of March 2019 and Covid just hit. Didn’t know if they were gonna let us back in Canada. I’m gonna plan a trip to West coast and follow Oilers on road trip. Would like to see LA, Anaheim, San Jose, and North to Seattle . I’ve been to Seattle numerous times in 90’s but it would be cool driving there from LA

Yeah LA just plays exactly the type of game that we haven’t had an answer for for as long as I’ve watched hockey. Every team that plays this way seems to have our number. I remember when it was the wild, Phoenix/Arizona, Calgary for a few years, etc.

We overcome it a bit more nowadays that we have Mcdavid and Drai, but for as long as I’ve been a fan, these teams that clog up the neutral zone and just focus on capitalizing on the oilers screw ups have given us issues.

 

[KCC]

Bad period. Glad we aren’t losing

Outside of a kings breakaway they didn’t do squat either. Lol

 

[Oilers in NS]

Multiple times.

Oilers game?

Wonder if ESPN 12 has some lawn bowling
