Post-Game Talk: Cody Crybabies Beat Final Boss Doughty

[Ritchie Valens]

Rittich on the bench right now: “If coach had only put me in when it was 1-0, we’d be going to overtime right now. No doubt in my mind.”

I like the fact we have a rival who isn't Calgary. Makes sports fun. Also the shared history with Gretz and the Kings are the perfect rival.

 

[Pip]

Once again I want to say congrats to the Kings for that brilliant trade and sign of Pierre-Luc Dubois. *Chef's kiss* amazing work guys

Vilardi is twice the player. Injuries may hamper him but they never should have let him go imo

 

[aspin3]

Wondering how all those looking to give skinner away and trade gold for Saros are feeling tonight. Saros let 6 goals on 27 shots in so far tonight

 

[syz]

Weird to see the Kings just roll over like that. I'm used to seeing them throwing tantrums and putting guys in headlocks after every whistle when they're getting their ass beat.

 

[MoontoScott]

The Kings are such crybabies but L.A. is full of would be actors so I guess you should expect this.

 

[harpoon]

With all the recent fluffing of PLD and Byfield in the Around the League thread, I was expecting a lot more. Practically invisible.

 

[McTonyBrar]

McDavid with 3 points, Leon 3 points, Henrique a goal and CECI a goal.

Skinner 32 saves.

Kane and Perry with a physical as heck game. Keep both of them together. Great game

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

a complete effort from minute 1 till the end
LA are so boring lol

 

[snipes]

The Kings are such crybabies but L.A. is full of would be actors so I guess you should expect this.

And human feces on sidewalks along with boarded up stores everywhere

 

[GreeningOil]

The Oil look legit the last few games. Even the loss against Ottawa I thought we were massively better.

Sometimes you can’t win em all. But we’re winning most which is a great sign

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

With all the recent fluffing of PLD and Byfield in the Around the League thread, I was expecting a lot more. Practically invisible.

Byfield is still really good, but the league is hard and keeping up production is tough for not McDrai lol.

Dubois is just brutal, it's very very funny

 

[Mcnofool6110]

Maybe Cody Ceci's best game. Near mistake free. Goal at the end. Weirdly positive in the offensive zone.

Also you can't tell me any one of Iafallo, Vilardi or indeed Kupari would be any more noticeable than Dubois tonight. All the assets in the world to solve their biggest issue (goaltending) and they spend it on pLd

 

[GOilers88]

That Henrique beauty though.

 

[Messrules11]

That looked like a 60 minute effort, good to see.
While it won’t be Lemieux-LaFontaine I think McD can take the Ross yet.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Oilers played really well defensively like I said earlier. Kings didn't have a lot going until the Oilers started hanging back.

Oilers got a bit lucky when Dubois wrap around didn't go in.

But again masterful defending. I could point 20 plays tonight Drai made in own zone AND he got 3 assists. If anybody was on him in this GDT they should go to a doctor.

Drai was the best Oiler.

McD made some own zone turnovers towards end of game with it 3-1.

Nuge with a bad shift change leading to the Kings one goal. Something he's toned down but still occurring.

 

[harpoon]

Dubois is just brutal, it's very very funny

He almost had that wraparound though …

 

[yukoner88]

Rittich on the bench right now: “If coach had only put me in when it was 1-0, we’d be going to overtime right now. No doubt in my mind.”

He should've flipped his stick over the matter

 

[Drivesaitl]

That Henrique beauty though.

Not sure if this is criticsm? Was a smart play and he got the chest bump in there after getting inside position on Danault, one of the best active forward defenders in the world.

Henrique with 3 goals as an OIler already and 21 on the season. Are people still getting on him? He's been fine. I like him with Draisaitl. Two very smart players.

Drai with an absolutely filthy pass to Henrique in third period. That almost was another goal.

 

[yukoner88]

Skinner .970 tonight

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

5 away, he's going to climb up meet 3 of the greatest. I can't wait to see it.

 

[tardigrade81]

What a win!!

 

[nexttothemoon]

Wondering how all those looking to give skinner away and trade gold for Saros are feeling tonight. Saros let 6 goals on 27 shots in so far tonight

Well I'd definitely take Saros over Skinner... as would almost everyone who is unbiased.

Saying that.. Skinner was very good tonight when he had to be.. and he had to be down the stretch when the Kings pushed hard and the Oilers let up a little.

 

[Da McBomb]

Foegele has been really good the last few games. Henrique has gotten better as well. Hopefully Kane can score a goal soon... He had another impactful game despite not getting on the scoresheet.

 

[nabob]

He almost had that wraparound though …

Was just luck apparently that he didn’t score.
