I think the Kings make some adjustments and the game is closer as a result but the Oilers still win handily.

 

[syz]

Kings are gonna try for a quadruple deflection goal tonight. The puck is gonna bounce off Darnell Nurse like one of those pool trick shot videos.

 

[Coffey]

Oilers win = we’re still blaming those two

lol When you're right, you're right

We'll take 'em any way we can get 'em! Haven't had one off the ref yet, that'd be nice.

 

[Coffey]

Rangers-Caps or Canes-Islanders say hello

This.

LA is way better than Caps or Islanders.
Van couldn't solve them.
Better than Preds too I'd wager.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

The fanbases are hilarious here
They won’t attack the other team

Kings lose = Kings fans will attack the team and head office

Oilers lose = you better believe I’m blaming Ceci and Nurse

I mean they did give up two freebies last game. Here's hoping they have their shit together.

I mean, I hate Ceci EVERY game. Even if he doesn't break his stick like that.
Dude is a Decade of Darkness quality defenseman.

 

[Hockeyholic]

I think LA wins tonight. The last game went awful for them. They are a good team! They will bounce back. I'd personally hard match against Nurse/Ceci. Also, dont' forget to punch McDrai after every scrum.

Also, I didn't mention it last time.. Kudos for scratching Brown. He was my Pisani pick for a strong playoffs as I never thought they'd sit him.lol

I still think Rittich should be the starter.

Do u think they can win the series?

 

[Coffey]

As an Oiler hater I am sad this series is going to be a WALK for Edmonton.

I'm sorry you have to go through this difficult time.

 

[Mez]

I think Kings bounce back and it's a 1 goal game. 3-2 Oilers.

 

[Czechboy]

Do u think they can win the series?

I do.. I think it's closer than some think. I do think my Oil are the fav but it's 55-45 and not 70-30. Also, playoffs are gruelling.. one major injury and you're in trouble. Look at Vancouver with no Demko. That may cost them round 1. Or Leafs without Nylander. But, even without injuries, I like the LA team and they have a lot of guys that really piss me off.. and that is a good thing!

I don't like either personally. There's a reason why Vegas and Colorado targeted them.

A deep run hinges on Skinner but Nurse has to be a positive factor too.

Funny thing is Nashville pretty much had the Kings number too. Teams just don't match up well sometimes. I honestly didn't want the Oilers again. Three years in arow is too much. I still have images of McDavid telling Kane to shut it down after holding up 7 fingers for 7 goals. Also him speaking in the locker room about how LA didn't have an answer for them. McDavid just is on another planet of talent but those two instances showed me he is a killer.

 

[Ol' Jase]

No matter the score and how many points the players get, it doesn't count because the Oilers aren't facing a quality team like their counterparts in the Eastern Conference.

I’m here for this.

 

[BigBrown]

Anyone saying the Kings can't win the series should get their head examined. Of course they can, it's hockey after all. Stupid upsets happen all the time. Admittedly it is looking quite unlikely at this point but it's definitely a non-zero chance.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Kings make some serious adjustments and hold McDavid to four assists

Kings are gonna try for a quadruple deflection goal tonight. The puck is gonna bounce off Darnell Nurse like one of those pool trick shot videos.

EVERYTHING goes off Nurse's fivehead, that thing has its own gravitational pull

I totally misread that and was wondering why your hoping they'll shit together. Must be nap time.

Team building! That's a tight-knit room culture

 

[Ol' Jase]

All things equal, LA can easily tighten up and keep it really close.

But…that Connor kid has a knack for making things unequal.

He’s more motivated than ever.

 

[MessierII]

Let’s see how the kings punch back. Everyone’s nuts on the table now.

 

[Team_Spirit]

 

[Summer Rose]

I've always found it interesting how Leon Draisaitl sets up down lower than a typical power play trigger man.

 

[Crabapple]

I expect a big pushback tonight. Is Talbot confirmed starter for the Kings?

This... this is the way

I know you guys have a soft spot for him... but seems a little much for Connor Brown
