I’d normally side with the goalie here but the stantions have been ACTIVE these playoffs and even cost the Islanders their lives last night. Stay in your net

Staying in the net means way more abuse on our d men.

 

[gordonhught]

That's 4 straight periods where it's been all LA.

I'm a little concerned.

Don’t be. Oilers can win this gsme by playing cautious.

 

[elmeroil]

That fluke might be needed looked like they were content trying to win 1-0 again and were not good in that period

 

[bobbythebrain]

He left the crease wide open, who else is in goal.

Goalies go behind often the net in the game of hockey

 

[nexttothemoon]

Kings basically score only when handed a goal on a silver platter by the Oilers.

Oilers are head and shoulders over Kings in this series.. Kings are lucky to have the 1 win.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Oilers aren’t creating anything- they aren’t even trying to

They got a gift and just sorta floated throughout the rest of the period.

 

[foshizzle]

Stop it. Give to D man. Kill o zone possession for Kings. It’s called Hockey.

I’m amazed that you have to explain this

 

[OilerTyler]

That's 4 straight periods where it's been all LA.

I'm a little concerned.

Really? I felt like we outplayed them in this one.

 

[Ibanez]

Kings are being very aggressive pressuring the dman and closing the wall. Oilers need a few set plays to try to get some odd man rushes.

Good coaches and teams will adjust. We will see what the oilers do.

 

[tardigrade81]

Better get a whiskey

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Greeze refs don't call a penalty on the Foegle takedown but calls one the on Nuge at the end. Greezy

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Vinny gets a minus on that stupid bounce, but frankly he was excellent that first period.
If not for his strong, confident play on the puck, the Oilers might not have that goal. Amazing work all period.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Why not let the defenseman make the play instead of leaving the crease?

That's not how goalies are taught. An emphasis on playing the puck on dump-ins starts in peewee.

Hellebuyck, Saros, Shesterkin, etc would all do the same as Skinner.

“What a flukey way to tie it up” - David Amber, Leaf’s Homer, Oilers troll

 

[North Cole]

Lmao LA sucks, what's with the concern? Them "controlling" is basically zero actual chances and ab EA sports goal

 

[Sanchez]

Hrudey f*** off

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Don’t be. Oilers can win this gsme by playing cautious.

I’d rather see a killer instinct and get some forcheck going

 

[rboomercat90]

Fire the rink staff

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Also Warren Foegele is like… anti-sex. I couldn’t get it up whenever he had the puck.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

No they don't. See I can.make baseless claims on what ifs too. There's no reason to come out of your net with 30 seconds left.

Then clearly you don't watch a lot of hockey. That's a play that happens 15-20 times a game.

 

[RegDunlop]

No they don't. See I can.make baseless claims on what ifs too. There's no reason to come out of your net with 30 seconds left.

30 seconds is a lot of time

WTF is wrong with some of you guys? It happens all the time.

Christ
Don't listen to Kelly!

 

[MoontoScott]

Oilers without much creativity so far.

That Foegele whiff was deflating.

 

[Shizuka]

Just don't understand the sit back and react, defensive turtle game instead of dictating play and taking it to them. Fluke goal but probably shouldn't have gone wandering, Skinner.

Playing not to lose.
