You're probably the most pessimistic poster on this board. So this really does not shock me. You likely think they have little chance of winning the series being down 1-0. Even with a 100% healthy roster, the Oilers have a significant edge on the Kings in every position outside of goaltending. And I'd say they even have a very small edge there as well.

LA is not going to take this team to the woodshed. Nobody has taken the Oilers to the woodshed all year. If the Oilers lose, they lose. But it's not going to be some demoralizing ass-kicking of a series if they somehow fall short tonight. Have we been watching the same team since early January? They're not going to just roll over and die.

Amen brother, I won’t be counting this team out until they have lost 4 games

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Doughty needs to be sent a harsh message. I think he didn't get that last game. Check the f*** out of him. Bouchard needs shoot his bomb with purpose. If Doughty can't get out of the way , that's his problem.

I feel like creating a second account so I can like this twice.

With all these sports betting lines are infiltrating all our sports broadcasts at nauseum....can we at least have less restrictions on beer commercials and sponsorships???

Promoting beer over betting is better be cause with beer, you're getting a guarantee that it's going to be tasty, delicious.

 

[Skar]

Throttle these guys with a huge win here and silence the doubters

I would like to hurt the Kings players, refs if they step out of line and also Garry Bettman.

 

[McVespa99]

The issue with him is, from my viewings, he is not a physical or scary defenceman. He is a guy the other team is licking their chops at playing against because they know they'll get a few opportunities against him to really get a scoring chance by skating by him. He is not hurting anybody. He's the ultimate fake tough guy. Biggest guy on the ice but you'd never know it going off the stats pages.

I assure you nobody on the Kings sees him as anything but a cookie ticket. In game 3 their game plan will be getting Kopiitar and Kempe out against him as much as possible to exploit how incapable he is. At least we see Nurse and Kostin really throwing their body around trying to hurt people in the first period. Where's Desharnais at any point in that game? Utter failure all around but this is nothing new for him. He has never been a physical player.

This is an incorrect and lame take

 

[OfCorsiDid]

I don’t think I’ve been more nervous before a game in a long long time.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Oilers take this series in 5

f*** the Kings

 

[ZJuice]

My nerves have disappeared.
Really sucks to lose Janmark. He has been solid as f*** and was bringing the energy every shift.

Oilers should anticipate bad reffing, get as many goals as possible and never sit comfortable with a lead even if it’s 5-0. Watch the damn sticks and maybe do a shoulder check to see if a ref is staring before crosschecking

And uhhh.. shooooot! Low and hard! High and slow!

 

[mkatcherin00]

Oilers just have to score first again and KEEP playing the same way. McDavid himself said they tend to sit back when leading. Yeah, don't go out there and make stupid plays if you are up 2-0. Make safe plays in the Ozone. Just don't sit back.

That was the first time a team scored first in our series and lost. It took a lot of f****** up and some horseshoes for LA to have that happen

Agreed, though I’m sure Rogers Bet Net will just get worse trying to feed you the latest odds in real time during gameplay before long…

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Janmark will be a big loss for the pk. Team was already average on the kill and now who knows how it'll do.

 

[lakai17]

Holloway should have been called up already and had a few regular games before season's end. Guy brings speed and is a tough forechecker. I guess it was the cap or the Condors being in the playoffs. Yeah, he made some bad defensive plays very early in the season but it's nonsense to keep him in Bakersfield right now. Janmark injured. Bring him in. Shore has played a few good games but to me, he doesn't move the needle as much as Holloway's speed could.

You're telling me Holloway isn't in? He's an ideal replacement. He couldn't be a better replacement. He gets involved and we need that against LA every shift. I was hoping to see his feistiness, agility and tenacity against the Kings.
Next man up should always be best player available in the playoffs.

Rude.

 

[PuckG]

I feel ya boys. The nerves are high. Just remember our strategies:

 

[McDrai]

*I think I have a sex addiction so I'm going to f*** responsibly tonight.

*Things you never hear.

True. These days women have only fans and men have adult sites

 

[McBeastMode]

I have a bad feeling ...

 

[McVespa99]

Rude.

Maybe but that doesnt make it any less true

 

[guymez]

Draisaitl will have a monster game I'm feeling.

Draisaitl rarely has an off night in the playoffs.

 

[xoczar99ox]

This is the most low energy GDT I’ve ever been in. We lost 1 game…

 

[tardigrade81]

I’m here

Waits for applause

Let’s win !
