I’m not bashing McDavid but they shouldn’t have to wait til Draisaitl goes off on the bench to get motivated 40 minutes into the game. 60 minutes 20 players didn’t come close to happening last night and blaming it all on one player is ludicrous. LA got a great effort by 20 guys for two periods but the third showed if we do the same we are the better team. We just have to show it from puck drop
Not a shocker, we had posters blaming Mcdrai for us not winning the cup last year.
Unfortunately the guy in net is still gonna high likely be sleeping as the team wakes up.The resilience they displayed after being down 0-4, 39 minutes in, is of championship calibre.

They were still sleeping the first 2 periods. But as Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto famously said after attacking the US, "I fear all we've done is awaken the sleeping giant...". Game 2 is going to be absolute cinema. All over social media our series is unanimously voted as the most entertaining
its blind when you have people here saying Skinner is the reason they lost the game. They lost the game because they didn't wake up and play for 42 minutes. THey didn't win because the coach kept a line out for too long with less than a minute left and it lead directly to winning goal because Drai was too gassed to back check and left Danault wide open in the slot. Thats not even talking about all the break downs and penalites that cost the team. People just see red when it comes to skinner. Skinner wasn't good enough, so lets get that out of the way and im not defending him at all in any shape or form. Its blind rage because people think if you say a reason for losing was anything more than skinner they call you names, they being up posts from February and call you relatives of skinner, that is 100% blind rage. This team is more than Skinner and no, the team (the way have played, and are playing) doesn't automatically win the cup with a better goalie, they need to put in the work, which so far they haven't done. the last 12 minutes are progress though. 6 shots half way into the game doesn't cut it, at all. Picard needs to start the next game and the team needs to continue with the ethic they showed in the last 12 minutes of the game and they need to stop letting the Kings be wide open in the high slot.
I mean, the Oilers started slow, had 12 shots on net in the first 2 periods...who's fault is that?
Do you think the team deserved to win that game? I don’t. This isn’t a game we played well and deserved a better fate. We played the worst 40 minutes of any team in these playoffs so far. Doesn’t matter who the opponent is you’re not winning playoff games showing up for 21 minutes. We were lucky we got back into the game but we didn’t deserve to be in it.
There's no arguing with those idiots anymore. They are either related to Stu or sitting in the cuck chair in the hotel. This fanbase is BEYOND lucky to have McDavid and Draisaitl and those fans that don't get that have the hockey IQ of tapioca pudding. I am just done seeing their irrelevant takes on this sport.
Danault to be left wide open in the high slot with less than a minute left.
Skinners for sure. It’ll never occur to them that more than one person can be responsible for a failure.
Bouchard ranks 3rd all-time in PPG for a defenceman (behind Orr/Makar).
Even if Edmonton played good for those 40 minutes, do you think the outcome would have been any different? This team has no hope with this bum in net.
Bouchard was sole culprit on the Kings 3rd and 4th goals...2 beauty assists for the Kings too
any puck on net is dangerous, the situation was completely avoidable in the LA zone.
