Series Talk: WCQF: Edmonton Oilers vs Los Angeles Kings | EDM Lead 3-1

[BigBrown]

It's the third straight year they meet, maybe he was running low on options?

 

[K1984]

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.

Says the guy repeatedly panic posting about it.

 

[Czechboy]

I see everyone is getting along really well ahead of game 5.lol.

Talbot and hellebyuck have the worst stats amongst playoff goalies. One of those is shocking to me. Go Rittich. A heroic 1-0 loss would be great lol

 

[Juxta Position]

Draisaitl produced at a historic rate and was still injured by Mikey, both things can be true.

Players play through injuries in the playoffs all the time


That tackle move by Mikey isn’t even allowed in the nfl anymore, what kind of grown man just grabs a guy from behind and drops down dragging the other to the ice.

the same kind of "grown man" that calls himself "Mikey"

There's a reason for the nicknames BSD and BDR. He's way more solid than Talbot, who has been atrocious. But sadly its too little too late, Rittich should've started the series but we're finished either way.

He is. And I thought the Kings figured that out during the regular season. Was surprised to see Talbot trotted out to start the series.

Isn't Ranford the queen's goalie coach?

What does the Sacramento Basketball team have to do with this?

Bs were up 3-1 a year ago!

It's got a nice rhythm to it but Talbot has been the significantly better goaltender over their tenures in the NHL. It's not a coincidence that they've ended up on the same team twice in the NHL and Rittich was the back up both times.

 

[Nasti]

Now I’m convinced the slewfoot thing is a running gag in the Oilers locker room. Watch both clips.

Oilers will probably win this round but take solace in knowing they will not win the Cup.

Don’t want to see your ex Ducks win?

I predicted Edmonton goes all the way and wins the cup, and I think they have an excellent chance to do so.

True they were eliminated by Col/Vegas on route to cups past 2 years, but you learn from that type of loss.

I think McDavid and Draisaitl haven't even been all that good yet - not in a bad sense, more in a sense that they can still take it up a knotch or two come rounds 2 and 3.

 

[J bo Jeans]

McDavid although leading the playoff race with 10 points, hasn't played his best hockey yet especially 5v5. Only 2 points at even strength. Will need 5v5 production to increase if they want to go the distance.

Nope, haha.

 

[ManofSteel55]

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

You mean the champions? The Oilers lost to the eventual champions the last 2 years

McDavid although leading the playoff race with 10 points, hasn't played his best hockey yet especially 5v5. Only 2 points at even strength. Will need 5v5 production to increase if they want to go the distance.

What they really need to do is to end it tonight to give the guys playing hurt a couple of days to recover. Vancouver didn't finish it off last night which is good for Edmonton - the longer that series goes, the better.

Leafs fans and being jealous enough to constantly shitpost in Oilers threads
Leafs fans and deluding themselves into believing that their team would win more in any other division

Leafs and losing to the bruins.

So far in this series Adam Henrique at 5 on 5 has a HDCF% of 89%. 17 chances for, 2 chances against.

Nugent-Hopkins the lowest rated Oilers forward at 36%, 11 for 20 against.
