GDT: Schlop Schlop Schlop - Oilers at Kongs 8:30PM

[Kerberos]

Just win.

Ideally with a 4 point McDavid performance and a 3 point Nuggy performance.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Missing Toby Peterson and Liam of Red Ox.

I get PTSD just reading those names. lol. oh man things were dark here at that time.

 

[Sanchez]

Look at the doggo! He is drinking the water!

 

[yukoner88]

Slop ....but it's Doggystyle

I get PTSD just reading those names. lol. oh man things were dark here at that time.

I remember Reddox getting KO'd by a Chris Pronger elbow

 

[Jet Walters]

Is Little Mikey still out with a boo-boo?

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Edler is sneaky-dirty. f*** him.

 

[VainGretzky]

The Oilers score 6 for a beautiful 4 GPG this season

 

[dssource]

WIn and take over 2nd spot for good.

 

[Coffey]

Woodcroft had KFC last night so he's on the toilet and out sick.

MacT is filling in behind the bench. Rishaug just tweeted the lineup.

Is Toby Peterson out with an injury?

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

I still remember when he went to Dallas and ran their PP

Or was that Thoresen?

Geez we were bad

Scrivens had a 59 save shutout vs San Jose. He should get the start.

I know Copley has received some praise this year but his overall numbers dont suggest someone ready to stand up to the Oilers barrage. Korpisalo has been delivering very strong numbers for them. Wonder why they chose Copley for tonight?

I honestly think his completely average numbers just show how good the Kings have been this year. They are a lot higher up if Quick/Peterson never played.

Could say similar things about the Oilers with Campbell but his winning % is pretty good regardless of his bad numbers.

 

[McWeber]

Considering two of the injured have history of plays that looked like they had full intent to injure, I'm not shedding any tears for those two. Too bad for Fiala and Vilardi though.


Be ready. All playoff games will be 8 or 8:30 until the Conference Finals with maybe an exception for one or two weekend games, when the start time being 8 doesn't actually matter.

Luckily I should be working out in BC for most of the playoffs so that extra hour will help ( along with not having to be up at 5 am for my diabetic cat). I feel bad for the east coast Oiler faithful.

I moved to EST almost four years ago and trying to follow Oilers games is brutal now.

Here’s some insight into face value playoff prices for season ticket holders in the upper bowl. I’m unsure if that is the same when you do the sign up for individual playoff seats though.

For reference, the highlighted portions indicative of pricing would be in sections along the goal line and in rows 3-6 on the side we shoot twice.

Well I’m walking in prepared to drop $300 a ticket so looks like I might be ok.

Yeah it’s definitely rough. I’m just happy my work is really flexible so I don’t end up missing much sleep.

 

[McJC]

What;s the deal with Fiala? He going to be back for the playoffs?

 

[nerevarine]

I do not fear the kings, they are multiple tiers below us. Garbage team

 

[McHelpus]

What;s the deal with Fiala? He going to be back for the playoffs?

Yeah he played against Seattle the other night, but it appears he's been dealing with a knee injury since going knee on knee with Cogliano - which happened like a month ago.

Ex-Oilers still paying dividends.

This is why your glove are showcased in the HHOF, Cogs!

 

[Satire]

Another tough game. Hoping for the win and at minimum no injuries

 

[Siludin]

Skinny or soupy in goal tonight?

There is solid research backing the value of goal differential as a highly accurate predictor of performance. See for example :

https://web.williams.edu/Mathematics/sjmiller/public_html/math/papers/DayaratnaMiller_HockeyFinal.pdf

This is mostly consistent with actual results this year as well as most teams are within about 3 slots of their actual placement when comparing goal differential to position in the standings:

LA is one of about 3 or four teams that is a significant outlier in this regard.

 

[ThePhoenixx]

I feel like an old man complaining about the 830 start but...these late starts suck.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Kings fans hate us. I guess it’s nice that they finally have a rival again.
