What makes Draisatl so lethal, is it more the accuracy or the sneaky release?

He seems undeniable but his shot doesn’t look crazy unless it’s from the goal line.

 

[BB79]

I've seen better called games by Angel Hernandez.

I think that's the first time anyone has ever said that, sarcasm be damned

 

[Czechboy]

Bouch with 2 points and 8 points in the series now...

Kind of hard to believe he has multiple 50 goal seasons sometimes.

All of the above, plus the massive threat he always is as a passer too.

 

[Master Yoda]

Complain about the refs are you want but LA’s PP is such a joke it wouldn’t have mattered.

True but oilers shouldn't have been on the pp

What makes it so lethal is he has McDavid feeding him.

Also as good as the Oilers PP is, cmon. At some point some blame can go to an awful Pk on the Kings

 

[Bruce Granville]

Gentlemen’s sweep. That’s okay.

 

[NyQuil]

No, it was 100% based on assumption. You can't see the puck in the glove. By their rules it shouldn't count even though physics say it was a goal.

I’ve seen them count from time to time if the entire glove is over the line.

Both?

You can see the puck in the top of his glove through the mesh on the one angle and his glove was over line up to his wrist. That wasn’t even controversial.

 

[TKB21]

f*** these refs. Fiala clearly hooked and tripped. Worse call of the series.

Tripped? By the stick that touched his glove hahaha what a clown take.

 

[Little Psycho]

You have 2 of the best players in the league and you still got to have to have the league help you over the hill. Embarrassing.

 

[Mez]

Thats not how the rule is written though. Im not saying the rule makes sense, because it doesnt, but you have to conclusively have evidence to overturn it. Easiest thing to do is puck a tracker in the puck, which the NHL wont.

It says conclusive, not that the puck has to be visible. His whole glove was in, that's conclusive. But your right, put some damn trackers in the pucks.

 

[snag]

This game is awful.

Well.... If things go according to plan, Kings and their style of play are done tonight

 

[NyQuil]

Here we go again.

His stick is like a paddle but he can use it like a golf club.

Huge momentum swing. Chain reaction of events.

Remember when Tyson Barrie ran the PP?

 

[biturbo19]

Byfield has taken some big steps, but he's still kind of not a very aware player is he? Blind backhand tip pass facing the wrong way, directly to an Oiler?

 

[PanniniClaus]

Well.. season on the line with this PK

 

[lopper]

You think at some point the Kings would stop trying to take penalties lol

Man that's like your 40th post in this thread.. Do you still have tears left to cry ?

 

[Felidae]

I want the kings to win.. but don't see how that's happening if Oilers keep getting PPs.
