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

[LTIR]

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.

Not sure what u are watching but Oilers dominated with plenty of energy in the first.

2 weak goals on Skinner and our lack of discipline is the difference

 

[Tobias Kahun]

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***.

Both goals are shit goals for Skinner to give up.

hes been absolute trash these playoffs

 

[KCC]

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

Hard pass. The game is only 2-2. You put Campbell in net and it's probably 5-2 right now Kings. lol

 

[CupofOil]

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

No it's not lol.

No one is trying to drive him out of town? He let in 2 shit goals. Just like Deharnais is a f***in liability when he's on the ice. Give you head a shake. People are allowed to criticise when it's deserved.

 

[ElysiumAB]

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

Because LA isn't getting their stick blades stuck through skates and shooting the puck over the glass....

I hate the Kings and love the Oilers, but half you guys are out to lunch.

 

[xoczar99ox]

It’s absolutely crazy to think that this team is going to need a miracle to get out of the first round. Draisaitl and the bottom six are the only ones that showed up and the refs have already proved that they aren’t on our side.

I’m already over this season.

 

[mkatcherin00]

Tampa got swept by Columbus before becoming a mini dynasty, it’s all good. Next season is another year of The Window being wide open, I personally can’t wait for the future of this team because McDavid hoisting a cup is just on the horizon

I will not look forward to next year at all after this one. Just playoffs if they choke this year. I always said our downfall will end up being our goalies, just like the year before.

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

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

Last playoffs Kane and Hyman were scoring big goals to support McDrai. This season they aren't on the same level and neither is McDavid.

 

[5 14 6 1]

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

Not much better thanbthe canucks

Huh? 14-0-1 in the last 15 reg season games lol

 

[Drivesaitl]

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.

Exactly.

For extended periods of this game I'm wondering where McD even is. f***ing McLeod is looking better. No disrespect to McLeod but our entire bottomsix are looking better than McDavid has thus far.

 

[TheBrew]

Oilers need to learn to overcome this kind of stuff to become champions. So what if L.A came back. Dominate the third and score three goals, This is the way.

 

[NedPlimpton]

Just pretend it's 0-0 and be more first period.

EZee

 

[Captain Fantastic]

We went through this nonsense for nearly 2 games now. I won't go through this a third time. Get it done Oilers.

 

[Mack a doodle doo]

Can we not wait until we’re in a huge hole in the series before we start using McDrai strategically at even strength?

 

[Oilhawks]

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

Not much better thanbthe canucks

That's not at all the case. They're shitting the bed against an inferior team though, yes.

 

[ElysiumAB]

Enjoy your pity party gents.

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

Smart man right here.

 

[Heavy Dee]

That first line has created next to nothing even in the regular season. Not a good mix. Hyman has only been good on the pp this year.

Hyman is a plug and Kane is playing like one.

 

[larek]

That's the same as last game

 

[russ99]

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.

It’s typical Oilers, most of the shots are coming from outside the high danger box. The Kings are contesting space and we’re going where it’s easy.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

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

Clearly you havent been following the team.

In a thread of dumb takes, this one takes the cake.

 

[5 14 6 1]

0-0 game win this period.

 

[dem]

I can’t believe people are all over Skinner. What frickin game are you watching?

 

[CupofOil]

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.

It's both, brain dead penalties and poor goaltending. He shouldn't be absolved of blame because he's a rookie. He's an NHL goalie getting paid millions, do your job.

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Not over yet! Kings aren't that good. Oilers need to find their game. We can beat them.
