Nah not even close

Close to who?
A man born with concrete blocks for hands?

 

[KingsOfCali25]

Nah not even close

Are you even watching the game? Because Kaliyev had some good hustle going and made a couple of plays. Lewis looks slow and in the wrong spot most of the time

 

[tny760]

it's intentional with arty

impossible situation for him, put him in. he does something good, punish him

 

[Choralone]

Nice check by Englund: "Have a seat!"

 

[KingsOfCali25]

He didn’t flush the toilet after taking an nUmber 2 between periods.

The whole 1st line is taking a shit on the ice right now. At least Kaliyev used the toilet lol

 

[Brownie to Pancakes]

Kaliyev looks completely fine out there. The ostracism on him is such a load of shit

He must have pulled an upper decker in Todd’s office

 

[DoktorJeep]

Has Dubois gotten a shift in the second?

 

[Brownie to Pancakes]

Has Dubois gotten a shift in the second?

Hmmm. I thought he looked ok in the first besides that dumb pass to the oilers. Was hustling to get to pucks several times

 

[ru4reals]

When the going gets tough the Kings wilt. Soft teams never do well in the playoffs.

 

[kingsfan28]

when was the last times you saw a king win the draw that clean and score in under 3 seconds? everything seems to take 15 seconds

 

[Sol]

lol the oilers are playing like the Kings have their number

 

[chris kontos]

Dumping the puck when were behind?

We're playin great d
Too bad were behind

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The Lizotte line is manhandling McDavid’s line, or just barely surviving against them.

 

[AbsentMojo]

complete a fn pass

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Who's ever of the opinion the Kings are better off playing Edmonton are well nuts...Kings will have a hard time of it

Night and day matchup if compared to the Canucks.

No, he doesn't. Pay more attention to what the team is trying to do and you see it easily.

Kaliyev doesn't do any of things required of Kings wingers without the puck. If you have one guy who isn't on board with the system you just can't play him.

For example, he just lost a clean battle on the forecheck and allowed the puck to leave the zone too easily.

 

[Sol]

It’s so mind blowing how the Kings brass still are afraid to play normally against the oilers. They play shell hockey even when losing.

 

[chris kontos]

Wooo
We got lucky there

 

[kingsfan28]

its ok to hit mcdavid!!!! f----!

 

[Choralone]

its ok to hit mcdavid!!!! f----!

He's been hitting our guys - that makes him a willing combatant and fair game.

 

[AbsentMojo]

wow - Kings had a scoring chance... interrupted my nap

 

[Sol]

Why would the Kings take out the only good player on their team? Why make it easy on themselves

For example, he just lost a clean battle on the forecheck and allowed the puck to leave the zone too easily.

He's made 3 or 4 possession plays under pressure that allowed a breakout, which is something sorely lacking on this team. As usual you fixate on whatever confirms the thing you already thought and don't consider what doesn't
