GDT: WCQF | G2 | Oilers vs. Kings | 4.19.23 | 8:00PM-ish | SN

[Cloned]

It’s better that it’s tied tbh. They’ll play more aggressively this way.

 

[independent observer]

Then PLEASE explain the MASSIVE 10-3 disparity in powerplays in La’s favour?! GTFOH muppet.

Look at the penalties… just stupidity by Oilers… I like Kane, but what was that again??

In general… the Kings play a smart game, the Oilers not. They need more accountability…

And I hope they realize they need to start to scratch Vinny. He is not NHL material… and it is not even close…

 

[McDoused]

The panel can shut the f*** up.

 

[LTIR]

That's fine but why are they not blowing them for calls ffs. That is what peope are saying. You know, like the 3/4 blatant ones before their OT pp

There are two teams out there is LA playing God's gift to D at evens when we have been Destroying them?

LA hasn't been anywhere close to as physical or chippy or cheap as our players have been.. they are playing smart and taking the hits.

Imagine McDavid getting blasted each shift like how Doughty, Kempe and co have been by our hitters.

 

[russ99]

Compare this to the last time we played the Kings

Where’s the fight? Where’s the energy?

We’re flat as a pancake, regardless of what the shot counter says.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

All the penalties by the kings being ignorned by the refs should also be penalties.

Yes the Oilers are being undisciplined, but the kings are getting away with the same penalties on the same shift that the oilers are being called for.

The Kings commit a lot of fouls, but they are the type that tend to get let go more. The Oilers are just taking stupid penalties that almost always get called.

They are doing this to themselves.

 

[ZJuice]

Remember when everyone told me McDavid isn't injured?

I remember...

My diagnosis is that he is hella stressed and hasn’t been laid in at least week OR he has a small viral infection/allergies. Trust me, IANAL

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Literally EVERY other goalie in the league saves both those shots. There’s no leadership issues, EVERY team gives up chances. Look at what Korpi has done for LA tonight.

I like skinner but both goals are pure and utter dogshit and completely on him.

We should've been up 4 or 5 nothing if not for Korpisalo. He is playing great, Skinner is probably rattled by the pressure. Hopefully he learns to deal with it because I'm still not convinced that Campbell can take the ball and run with it right now. The problem is that we may need to see if we don't win this game.

 

[Weitz]

Why are our forwards who aren’t in the bottom 6 so invisible?

 

[Oilhawks]

You have to start Campbell next game. Skinner has shit the bed to the point of losing the net.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Drew Doughty is the 2nd biggest loser in this interview.

 

[Vagabond]

All our penalties were legit penalties... It's not the refs it's our players.. LA is taking the punishment like the bitches they are...we just need to keep our discipline in check.

I'm not saying that. I'm saying the refs are letting LA get away with obstruction and interference and missing calls. They call every single infraction on the Oilers. Clearly. They need to call it both ways.

 

[Shanahanigans]

Expecting the Oilers not to give up chances is asinine. They’ve held them to what, 12 shots? I like Skinner but neither of those can go in. They weren’t even the best scoring chances, he just didn’t seal his post.

 

[Cagey B]

Edmonton has taken undisciplined and sloppy penalties that are the correct calls, easy calls, in both games... it's not hard to understand.

You realize if you're just complaining about the disparity that you're literally asking for game management....... probably the most complained about thing on this board.

yes we are undisciplined.. but.. they aren't calling shit on LA.. thats what we are getting pissed off about

 

[Heavy Dee]

At least Skinner was relieved that loss in game one was behind him...

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

It’s better that it’s tied tbh. They’ll play more aggressively this way.

They'll play scared because this is the Oilers we're talking about. Panic mode is on.

 

[nabob]

Doesn't matter if he's a rookie or not, he needs to make saves to bail out the team once in a while. Two games in a row of being outgoaltended. Plenty of dumb on the team otherwise so it's not all on him but he needs to be better.

He made a bunch of massive saves that period. Two games in a row of the team getting the lead and then completely shutting down and taking stupid penalties. I guess we can say that our rookie backup should be leading the team out there but McDavid, Nuge, Kane, Hyman, have been invisible and while Drai has been awesome on offense he’s taking tons of absolutely brain dead penalties.

 

[5 14 6 1]

McDavid looks like the Toon Squad after their special stuff wears off. What is going on with him. Zero assertiveness in his game.

Exactly how he played in the Jets series that we got worked.

 

[Drivesaitl]

McD -3 in the playoffs and with only one PP assist. One point. Drai has 3G 2A carrying the team single handedly, and no matter who he is playing with.

Its McD time. c'mon on down. Get it together.

 

[dwonger]

Our team defence is shit, what the f*** are you talking about? There’s 5 skaters on the ice. Are we trying to jump on a rookie goalies back the first chance we get and drive him out of town like literally every other goalie? Y’all toxic as f***.

Is this a joke? Both goals were horrid and caused by trash rookies.

 

[DaGap]

Heh not sure why people are shocked. Theyve been playing like shit for a better part of a month.

Not much better thanbthe canucks

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

people watch the intermission? there's another game on

 

[5 14 6 1]

It’s better that it’s tied tbh. They’ll play more aggressively this way.

I did say that I'd rather them tie it now.

 

[djbard99]

Compare this to the last time we played the Kings

Where’s the fight? Where’s the energy?

We’re flat as a pancake, regardless of what the shot counter says.

We gave up again

 

[GOilers88]

Enjoy your pity party gents.

What an embarrassing f***ing thread. See you all celebrating in the PGT after they win.
