GDT: WCQF | II | "Sabotage" | Oilers @ Kings | 4.23.25 | Crypto.com Arena | 8:00PM | SN

[Oilhawks]

I’m so disinterested in this team.

You're not alone. League viewership is down, Seravalli calling out the officiating

Boring league is boring, and this team stinks relative to expectations

 

[Not Canada Drai]

He's an NHL starter on a draft lottery team if even that. Can't give up on a local boy though. Or so the media says.

It's actually crazy how much our media defends him when they shit all over other players who go elsewhere and pop off.

 

[K1984]

Standard Oiler first period. Be the better team, don’t score, then give one up on rush defense that would make a tier 8 pewee team blush.

Just like always, we’ll win when we start shooting and going to the net, but as always it looks like we’ll need to be down a few goals before we decide to do it.

 

[foshizzle]

What the f*** purpose does Nuge serve on the pp.

Backhand to Bouchard. Literally all he does

 

[McDeepika]

Does Nuge serve any purpose on the PP? His only play is to take a pass from Bouch, take one step in and try a cross ice to Draisaitl. If that isn't there, he has nothing.

 

[Austerlitz]

Can we win a faceoff?

Oilers get kicked out of the faceoff circle at about 50 percent of the time. Same thing happened last playoffs.

 

[McBigYak]

Special teams is concerning so far this series, Oilers losing this aspect badly so far

5 on 5 they've been the better team.

They're getting absolutely caved on special teams. Not sure what happened to these guys.

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

PP just looks lost

Put klingberg on for Bouchard

 

[GrumpyKoala]

Good period. But of course we are down

The usual sir!

 

[CycloneSweep]

Good period. LA still doesn't have an answer for McDrai. Just have to keep pushing and they'll take this one.

They don’t need one.
They just need to shut down and outscore the other lines which is stupid easy.

 

[Kerberos]

It's insane how bad this team's PP and PK are this season.

 

[brentashton]

this what happens when the team isn't together until the playoffs

no one is in sync

Well hopefully they can figure it out by game 7 of this series,

 

[Drivesaitl]

No team has ever had two players of this caliber and hasn't won a Cup by now. This is historic managerial incompetence unseen in the 108-year history of this league, which I'm sure the board elder @Drivesaitl can confirm...

I'm a Saint and an Elder now. heh

I'll conduct first confirmation if you are guys have no sins tonight

Religious puns are hard..

 

[Tobias Kahun]

You're not alone. League viewership is down, Seravalli calling out the officiating

Boring league is boring, and this team stinks relative to expectations

If bettman stayed around there would be 48 teams in about 10 years so he could say that revenues are up, when in reality its just boosted by expansion teams buying in.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Not perfect, but did a lot of good things, good energy, find that finish.

 

[K1984]

Does Nuge serve any purpose on the PP? His only play is to take a pass from Bouch, take one step in and try a cross ice to Draisaitl. If that isn't there, he has nothing.

He used to step into the slot with a power stride and make plays, but that appears to have left him.

I’d put Walman in over him if they won’t put Walman in over Bouchard. Need some non-p***yes that actually have the ability to make an assertive play once in a while on the PP.

 

[foshizzle]

Can’t take out a PK’er…Kings PP 3/4

 

[94 Oil Drops]

Well hopefully they can figure it out by game 7 of this series,

Might be gone in 4 at this rate.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Well hopefully they can figure it out by game 7 of this series,

Gotta make it to Game 7

 

[Ibanez]

Saw that Seravalli clip today. I like how he isn’t afraid to call things out

We need more of that.

Hockey should be the most exciting sport around. Instead buttman enables this league to get shittier every year

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Put klingberg on for Bouchard

Theres 2 other players that should be replaced on the PP before bouchard.

 

[K1984]

They don’t need one.
They just need to shut down and outscore the other lines which is stupid easy.

Weird they don’t do it at all in that period if it’s so easy.

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Can't we win 7-1

 

[McTonyBrar]

What the f*** is wrong with our powerplay??!??!

 

[McFlash97]

That goal the Kings scored. Just look at how horrific Skinners read is and how he comes across the ice. No mofo effort, doesnt stuck his blocker out nothing no stretching, just casually assumes the smallest position and non chalantly slides across hoping that the puck hits him.
