Coyle is 9/11 on faceoffs, including 4/5 on the PK. Huge one to end the 5-on-3 before it can really begin.

Coyle is awesome, just does his f***ing job.

Kings up 3-0 over oil cans

Oilers really thought they could make the finals again with Skinner and Pickard lol. Meanwhile the Avs went from Fourgiev/ Annunen to Blackwood/Wedgewood this season. It feels good to have a competent front office

On another note, the Oilers are getting spanked, the little I've seen of this game it looks like a very long KIngs PP

 

[EdAVSfan]

Drouin-MacKinnon-Nichushkin xG 43.7%

was literally our worst line this season that played over 60min together.

At what point in the season did this line play together???

 

[flyfysher]

The 2nd line was terrible again that period. Jared, this is a simple fix.

27 - 29 - 13
62 - 11 - 88

This is the way. JB make it so!

Pretty much LA is running circles around them

Just after the TDL

Angry MacK 3rd period hopefully incoming. Pleasssse no penalties !

 

[forsbergavs32]

For about 3 games before Drouin got injured for the millionth time

And seeing what @Richard88 posted, this is why I don't take corsi as the end all be all. The eye test has shown that the 2nd line has been awful

 

[double minor]

Every connor playing well besides connor mcdavid

 

[sethro109]

Ryker called Marchment "The flop master". .

Just after the TDL

I don’t recall this line played more than a game or 2 together post deadline.
Necas has been pasted to MacKinnon for a majority of the time since he arrived.

 

[missionAvs]

Ahh shit. A very turtle-ish first shift so far.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Sounds like these guys have studied Mikko's stats, but not his game film.

 

[drhiii]

I kinda just got lost in LOC's eyes.

that messed me up not gonna lie

 

[Foppa2118]

MacKinnon is playing such a complete game tonight.

 

[missionAvs]

This will be a long 20 minutes lol. Just going for the safe chip and chase. This will come back to f*** us.

 

[Foppa2118]

EJ just put his shoulder into Marchments face along the boards. Nice hit.

I don't know how LoC has so much stamina. He never stops skating hard.

4th line minutes. It's why he doesn't translate well to a top-6 role.

Our current top line is great, that's not the problem. It would be nice to keep it together, but that means the 2nd line needs to start working.

 

[cccoltsicehockey]

Just shoot that Mack
