Sorry kings but your time has passed. Oilers win the next 2, no more sitting back or feeling safe

 

[29Beast97Mode]

Last game sucked, but we are still in this. Quick was 2012 mode last game but was yanked the game before. I expect last games momentum from the kings to die down and I expect the oilers took last game as a lesson. Oilers in 6.

 

[Mav3rick07]

I think the first 5 minutes will tell us a lot about the way the game is gonna turn out.

If we come out flat again then god help us all.

 

[Burnoutboi]

Let's go boys! Win it for Ben!

Excellent clean & professional GDT @MoreDifferentS. It will represent us well on the Main Board.

So, rough start in Game 4

Resulting in a collapse

Tonight I believe the offense will return in style

And come out flying

Putting the Kings in difficult situations

I expect a good forecheck

Smitty making the big stops

a lot

Physical play from our Big Guys

Forcing the Kings to miss their opportunities

While the Oilers bury theirs

We know the Officiating is not something to rely upon

And need to find our own way to come out on top with their shenanigans

Striking back effectively

As I expect this one to get rough

Just keep it simple

Expose their gaps

Take the opportunities when they’re available

And Let them make mistakes

And then capitalize on them

Do that and the Kings will fall

As they can’t keep up with our speed if we play our game

Perceived Control / Momentum of the Series will be ripped away from them

And begin the end of the Kings hopes

Home town crowd powers us to another huge Win. It starts with being the aggressors, putting them on their heels, generate off disruption. It ends with disciplined and stingy D on our part for a change. McDrai explode for a huge night. Smitty shuts the door. We take this in 6!

 

[Bryanbryoil]

No excuses, the Kings won't just roll over and show their bellies. We need to whup their asses on the scoreboard and hit them until they start hearing footsteps and start coughing the puck up. The biggest mistake we made in LA was not taking the body hard after the game was decided. Send a message, maybe soften up their ribs a bit so that someone rushes a pass in game 6 or 7 and we capitalize on it because they are battered and bruised. Go out there and run these f***ers right through the boards.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Can't blame Smith for the lose. .933 save %. He did his job

 

[LaGu]

I have a good feeling about this one.

Looking forward to wake up to a comfortable lead coming into the 3rd period.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Game 5 Day!! If they stick to their game, it will be there for them.

 

[McDrai]

Come out flying, get the lead, and stick to the gameplan. If LA gets the first goal then it's as good as done.

 

[PinSeeker]

While not ideal, LA scoring first is not THAT calamitous. Oil can survive a one goal deficit, and have already tied it after being down 2 in this series.

 

[rickysusedsht]

Play like the Oilers can and this is very winnable. I suspect they will play solid, im sure Sunday was an eye opener and somewhat embarrassing

 

[Niten Ichi Ryu]

A woodcroft run team responds immediately after a lopsided loss, they have all year since he took over

Quick had his moment, his reminiscent game, but it's back to Oil country. Best of 3 with home advantage. Hope the crowd is a factor, and they counter punch with the meanest intentions

Well this has been the case the whole series really. I’ll go Captain Obvious and say that if we score first we win if we don’t we lose. When LA scores they choke us out and when the Oilers score first it forces LA to open up and that opens the door for the Oilers offence. And I can’t stress the importance of us coming out of the gate physically. That is how we stop their fast starts, and if we do fall behind we have to play physically to get us back in it.

 

[TFHockey]

If Smith has even an average game the Oilers take this one IMHO.

Have the Oilers lost two in a row with Woodcroft?

 

[RegDunlop]

Body. Physical. Repeat. Repeat.

The rest will take care of itself.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Whoever wins this game likely wins the series.

 

[GMofOilers]

I should be nervous but I’m not. Let our star players shine. Time for Drai and Mcdavid to step up and lead this team to a win in a critical game.

 

[North Cole]

Game starts at the same time as last game? So what's that...9pm mountain ?

 

[NeverForget06]

Have to come out flying and really take the body. We need to punch these guys in their mouths !

It's really that simple. Start hitting and throwing the body and good things will happen.

 

[walktheboulavard]

Good thing its going to be the Oilers.
