[Skolman]

LOL. It just goes to show how quickly things can fall apart for the Oil. They win the game though.

So, things clearly didn't fall apart?

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Dougty bitching about something. Nothing new

 

[PuckG]

Skinner was great but three goals from God himself made this look a lot worse than it was.

 

[ORRFForever]

Ceci and Nurse paying dividends

LOL. If it's gonna happen, better to happen NOW with a big lead.

 

[Oilslick941611]

lucky goals from the Kings there at the end, but that was earned luck from not quitting.

 

[Cup or Bust]

1 down.

 

[Zerotonine]

The score actually flatters the kings, should never of been that close. But if there puck luck continues it will be alot closer then people think

 

[Oilking83]

1 down.

3 to go baby let’s goo!

 

[fsanford]

Why is Clarke don’t playing for the Kings?

Cuz he is a young D man. You have to be at least 23 to play D at the NHL for the Kings. Don't ask me why...

 

[Czechboy]

Bouch with 21 points in his last 13 playoff games going back to last season! Just sayin!

 

[trilobyte]

Doughty will make his thespian appearance back on home ice. He'll generate lots of drama there

Are we allowed to make betting jokes?

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

damn, if only the Kings could get a lucky bounce tonight...oh wait

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Wasn't the whole "pregame shtick" from both teams about how they want to keep the game close and 'not let it get away from them'? lmao

 

[Cup or Bust]

Shouldn't have been as close as it was but in the playoffs wins are all that matter.

 

[Despote]

Good thing that by definition there's no reason to think that luck will continue.

 

[Ol' Jase]

Oilers have a bit of tightening up to do, but the score isn’t remotely reflective of the actual game.

Those flukes aren’t going to win you a series.

 

[fsanford]

Kings fans said the Kings don't match up well and series should be over quick. Not sure who had that shtick, but they had to be smoking crack

 

[Czechboy]

Thrilled with the win... LA is greasy and gets those hits and goals.... this is their game. 6 to 7 game series IMO.

Don't blame him but Skinner at .892 is about what he was at in last years playoffs.... .883 last year. He needs to get to .905 or .910. I'm a huge fan but these sub .900 playoff games need to be eradicated.

Lots of things went supremely well... McDrai were eveywhere.. Hyman just keeps scoring.. Bouch with the quietest 4 point playoff game in history

Nurse/Ceci worry me

Hope Moore gets 1 game (and he should)

LA won't be swept.. not a chance!

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Sounds a lot like that Holmstrom guy.



Hyman is a very skilled player who has had the great fortune of playing with Matthews and Nylander, Matthews and Marner, and then with McDavid and Draisaitl.


Is he more of a 35 goal player than a 53 goal? Likely.


That's still a f***ing great player in the league.

He wouldn't score 20 goals if he played for Columbus.

His hat trick tonite aggregate goal distance was probably around 8-10 feet.

A great player

 

[LevelingSolo]

Talbot actually playing well despite allowing 6 goals really tells you something

 

[DearDiary]

Bouch with 21 points in his last 13 playoff games going back to last season! Just sayin!

4 ES points
17 PP points

Still great though

 

[ManofSteel55]

Ceci out. Stecher in. Please. Please. Pleeaaase

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Two more teams without goaltending. Set the over/under for goals in this game at 10.

I was half-joking, but it’s an Edmonton game so always take the over.

 

[snag]

Dunno.... They weren't too enthused even with Nurses goal and time remaining.
