This is an atrocious effort to be quite honest. The Oilers just can't handle being frontrunners.
And yes, I know they're up 1-0 but an extremely fortunate 1-0.

In a sense too though, they’re playing another good road playoff game. They’re getting outshot but they’re committed to team defense. Not many, if any odd man rushes at all. Skinner has been solid but hasn’t had to make any ten bell saves.

LA will come pretty hard again to start the 3rd, the Oilers need another goal to deflate them.

People wanted Edmonton to be up multiple goals by now, but the Oilers have played an excellent game. This is what the Oilers were looking for.

the kings have had to go balls to the wall for 40 minutes. they are still behind.

just put up a good 3rd

[Arty Spooners Bsmnt]

The Nurse-Ceci pairing is an adventure every shift, just like every playoff run.

Particularly when they get caught out there too long.

 

[Shizuka]

I don’t remember the last time he scored on that weak wrister on one of the rushes either.

Just a huge liability when he does that, also never seen a guy lose the puck in his feet more often than him.

Real shame because he has great tools but again, his reads and decision making, man.. have to shake your head at the idiocy in the choices he makes and the timing of said choices.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

lol Bieksa thinks it was a bad penalty

 

[TheNumber4]

Everyone believeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Dang you guys think the oil are playing bad? I think they're beating the kings at their own game. Low event hockey isn't necessarily a bad thing.

 

[BlackDogg]

Oh Elliote

 

[lopper]

lol Bieksa thinks it was a bad penalty

In the context of what they haven’t called he might have a point

 

[nabob]

You drop you stick and tackle someone and it’s the easiest call ever to make. I don’t get how all the sportsnet loser Kinds fans don’t know this lol.

100%. This is LA's best game of the series, easily. And they still are behind. If they lose, well ...

Foot on throat in the third. No quarter.

 

[Ruok]

Funny to see the spit opinions on the Oilers play so far. Obviously they are being cautious/bad and not driving play. But at the same time LA has about 1/2 serious scoring chances. Most of their zone time has ended with a shot deflected off a stick.

Yah it seemed kind of obvious to me. It could have also been holding

 

[yukoner88]

Was Friedman down playing the call??

Englund held him down lol

 

[McBigYak]

lol Bieksa thinks it was a bad penalty

I mean I"m an Oiler fan but that penalty was so soft it was insane.

If that got called on the Oilers it would be absolute outrage here.

If you're calling that stuff all night, sure. But with all the shit they've let go? That's not a penalty, not even close.

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Grind it out, keep them to the outside, goalie playing solid. Very few calls. This is classic playoff hockey and the kind of game the Oilers have usually failed to win in the past. A good defensive TEAM effort.

 

[TheNumber4]

Beiksas right. Nurse has been solid.

 

[rboomercat90]

Hyman in danger of wasting his game in hand and falling behind the Leafs in the playoff scoring race.

 

[RandomGuy79]

SN isn't wrong though, expect a few powerplays to the Kings in the 3rd.

 

[nabob]

In the context of what they haven’t called he might have a point

So because the Kings have got away with blatant cross checking and interference they should get away with tackling the puck carrier because the defender dropped his stick?

That makes zero sense.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Nurse knew he was never the PP qb though Bieksa

 

[bobbythebrain]

Bouchard haters right now...
