GDT: WCQF (Game 5) Edmonton Oilers vs. Los Angeles Kings, 10pm ET, ESPN

[nturn06]

Rittich was solid last game, he probably lets 6-7 in tonight

lmao

I just find it hilarious how Kings fans are the only ones cheering with Oiler fans in this series.
Everyone else in the league wants LA to win.

I hope you guys find a good GM after Hipcheck Rob.

Probably has something to do with playoff teams in the West would rather face Kings then anyone else.

Honestly Kings may be the worse team in the west out of the 8 teams that made it.

Kings fans are good sports. gg.

We are playing the long game. Blake and Robitaille have ruined this team. A theoretical series win would save their jobs and allow them to double down on their stupidity.




The most frustrating part is that Blake studied under the great Dean Lombardi. Character was everything to Dean (think Stoll, Greene, Richards(before too many concussions), Justin Williams, etc. And then he goes and trades for f***ing PLD and gives him 8 X 8.5
Lombardi also built his teams from the net out, don't even get me started on goaltending

He's like the teenage kids that wants to do the opposite of everything his parents taught him because he thinks he is smarter than them,

At this point, should have hired Hrudey, Dustin and Dionne.

I would more in favor of a day laborer they grab in front of Home Depot than Rob and Luc

Definitely an LA joke haha

LA plays a style that could have caused problems to plenty of teams outside Avs and Edmonton. Disagree with this take.

The Kings are done. Rob Blake has ruined this team. The Kings put up a better fight last years playoffs than this year lol.

Agree to disagree.

Fun fact. The Kings’ last four playoff wins against the Oilers were OT wins. Game 5 in 2022, Games 1 and 3 in 2023, and Game 2 this year. The Oilers have had multiple blowout wins in that time. Speaks volumes.

Yep, Oilers are dreadful in OT in the playoffs. 1-4 against the Kings in OT over the last 3 years.

Oilers playoff record against the Kings in regular season format is 11-2-4

Kings record against the Oilers in regular season format is 6-10-1

Interested to see how Rittich does against an Oilers team that (you would assume) will generate a bit more than they did last game. Thought he still gave the Kings their best goaltending of the series so far in g4, outside of Talbot in the 1st period of game 1.

I cheered for you guys one game.... I was trying to jinx you and it didn't work, but I cheered for the Oilers.

Felt dirty afterwards even if my intentions were noble

Agree to disagree.

Have you watched the Preds Canucks series? Low event hockey is LAs game

 

[BB79]

Let's go Kings

 

[Sol]

Let’s go

Kevin Fiala 4th line? Yikes.

I feel like the Kings are the Preds with worse goaltending but better forwards.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Came here to say this. There are a few other fanbases that might have adopted a Doughty-esque persona if he was on their team, but the Kings fans have been great to just talk hockey with.

I can respect that from a Flames fan.

Yes and Nucks are at 3 and Preds at 2.

Preds went on a major hot streak and were the 2nd in getting points from February onwards from the Cancellation of the Sphere event.
