We scored 3 goals 5v5 against a tight defensive team that gives up little. How is that “trouble scoring”.
This is a team that allows 2ga/60 5v5 which is second lost in the league and we scored 3.

I agree with Loui that this game had a playoff type feel to it. Minimal chances & some good ol’ emotion between Teams.
I’ll try to choose my words carefully here, but the feeling on this Board is eerily similar to the Canucks Board after Bruce was hired. I’m so happy for you folks to have confidence in your coaching staff again. I totally understand why so many of you were torn in cheering for wins under the previous regime. You wanted your Boys to win, but also recognized the need for change.
This is one of the most active Boards on HF, even when the Team was struggling. I’m really, really happy for all of you to feel confidence in your coaching staff & be able to get behind the team 100% again.
May Woodcroft & the Boys continue to improve and develop winning chemistry

Doesn't matter. Its not a usual game. Its a game saluting your legend Player, Drew Doughty. You think him, Kopitar, and Brown don't want to see Quick in net? lmao. This was indescribably dumb by McLellan and I predicted after the first period that it would end up being a bonehead move by McLellan, again overthinking hijmself.
Of course in a 1000 game commemoration you play the team mate that backdropped you to two cups. only an idiot wouldn't.
Cautiously agreeing with you here. If this type of play keeps up after another 15 games or so, yes.

The Kings were rusty tonight because they hadn't played a game in two weeks. you know, like how the Oilers couldn't do f***ing anything after coming off their extended break. As I recall the Oilers got blown out in those two games. you forget?

If you just insert an "A" in between "With" and" Woody", the context of that comment changes completely.

I wonder if Holland realizes he made a huge mistake not firing Tippett sooner.
Some teams play well after an extended break, not all teams play hung over. Also have to remember we played last night too.

Amazing how applying the KISS principle to allow these guys to play to their strengths instead of whatever Playfair was getting these guys to do is benefiting the team and them as individual players.

I'd take Brendan Lemieux in a heartbeat. How he was traded for a 4th rounder confirms this is a screwy Bettman league. He would be a fantastic addition for the playoffs.

Man it makes me so happy to be celebrating our new Head Coach while the HFKings complain about theirs, who happens to be one of our former coaches.

Well thats good. We know the Oilers don't score at all in the playoffs. Drai has never looked worse than this stint under Woodcroft. Hopefully he figures it out. Almost 3 games in which he had nothing going.
I think Holland realizes he has made a lot of mistakes considering how contrite he was at his presser.
Now we just need Katz to fire him, Nicholson and Gulutzan.

It’s time to give Woodcroft and Manson some credit and admit Tippett wasn’t very good.
If I can admit Kane made a good play in the third, you can do this too.
Seriously the smartest thing to do with the compacted schedule. Keeps the players fresher, and gives the rookies experience without being overwhelmed. He's still developing the players in a very smart way, just in the NHL now.
I thought Todd had them playing the Oilers quite well, especially on the PK, but you give Leon that kind of time to make a play with a wide open player and you're toast.
