Series Talk: WCQF: Edmonton Oilers vs Los Angeles Kings - EDM Defeats LA 4-1

[GoldenSeal]

No more screwing around Oilers, end the Kings run.

 

[Seanaconda]

And yet a year later, “full healthy”, he had half the points.

Either the Kings are terrible at intentionally injuring the Oilers, or this narrative is completely made up.

Either way, it doesn’t seem to be a problem.

If you just watched he could hardly skate but it's also why he had to be stapled to McDavid. It's like when kucherov came back he could barely skate and put up over 30 those playoffs

 

[Kingspiracy]

Wow. What did my boy Ranford do besides help win the last cup for Edmonton?

f*** you Kings.

And I still believe that PLD card is also in the Kings urinal.

PLD's should be printed on the toilet paper.

One could make a lot of money charging peeps to urinate on a PLD Pic

The Oilers could actually legitimately help Kings fans by smashing them in five and getting Rob Blake fired.

Some of you guys need serious help with reading comprehension.

I never disputed Draisaitl being partially injured in 2022. I’m disputing the narrative that the Kings constantly injure the Oilers.

The fact that we’re talking about a three year old incident as the biggest piece of evidence to the contrary is evidence in and of itself.

The last 3 pages are you questioning if it's a serious injury and downplaying it, not sure what you're talking about. Even this comment you say you never disputed a "partial injury". A high anke sprain isn't a partial injury, Draisaitl could barely skate out there.

 

[McSuper]

So again, to be clear, Mikey Anderson, who has never faced supplemental discipline for dirty play, injured Draisaitl on purpose, which resulted in Draisaitl not missing any playoff games and scoring 2 points per game that run.

Again, if the Kings are out there intentionally injuring your guys, they’ve done a pretty bad job at it, right? Oilers have won all three series, and never lost a player to injury against the Kings. Can you at least admit that?

Some fans want to blame everyone from the refs to dirt plays by the other team. Kings are in no way a dirty team. I will say in the playoffs where emotions are high every team takes a whack or two at the opposing players when they are behind. As an Oiler fan I seen Edmonton do this as well. All fair in love and war. The playoffs are a war and messages need to be sent as long as you don't intentionally try to injury a player.

I think considering they've been at each other for three years in a row...it's been relatively tame, you know? Surely on the edge but the 'worst' incidents were in the first series. Still time left I suppose but I just see dudes that don't like each other due to familiarity but have some respect for each other going hard. Lots more 'conversations' now too haha, not just driveby chirps, so there's probably way too much familiarity now.

Reminds me a little bit of a beer league team we always had issues with..the running joke was schedule it as the late game because we will either mercy rule one another or fight one another getting the game cut short. Guess who has beers after every game together now?

Wow. What did my boy Ranford do besides help win the last cup for Edmonton?

f*** you Kings.

Yeah I think that was a shot of every HF Kings fans home toilet

Holy f*** your fanbase’s obsession with this three year old f***ing injury is actually unhinged.

This is all any Kings fan has ever claimed.

It’s absurd that some Oilers fans are still talking about this Draisaitl/Anderson thing like it’s 9/11.

just chiming in here... i don't think Oiler fans in general remember or care about the anderson/drai play other than the ones in here having a discussion

 

[johnnyonthspot]

Last among LA forwards for expected goals, 0 shots, 1 shot attempt. 8-3 on faceoffs tho.

Worth every dollar 1 mil per faceoff win!

 

[DegeN9]

Money puck had the high danger chances 4-2 for Kings.

Watching the game, Kings had volume but were limited quite well.

This tracks with how the game felt to me. I thought L.A. played extremely well but largely failed to get inside the Oilers defensive structure. Their chances were almost exclusively generated by flinging the puck at the net from the perimeter and praying for a deflection or rebound/bounce to an open guy.

Oh yeah, that was when Draisaitl had 32 points in 16 games and didn’t miss a single game.

What a devastating injury.

You think AM34 would play (and dominate) with a high ankle sprain? Nah, he’d enjoy his time off. Just because he played didn’t mean the injury wasn’t serious.

 

[Czechboy]

GOAT!

Hey hey. Don't forget the "what did you have for lunch?" question

Matthews has played through injury his whole career in the playoffs…

 

[UnrefinedCrude]

... a half a grilled cheese...

half a grilled cheese? now that's deranged.

Yea he keeps re-injuring his wrist carrying all his purses

Interesting since he is the Kings director or goaltending.

Isn't Ranford the queen's goalie coach?

Which thread is a better read. This one or the Leafs one

 

[BigBrown]

Piss on the logo on the front, not the name on the back.

 

[Maria Sharapova]

name a better duo than oilers fans and clearing up the ahl division before losing convincingly to the first competitive hockey team they face while blaming nurse, ceci, goaltending & the refs

But there are literally hundreds of Oilers since Ranford to choose from. Rofl
