54 goals? Must've been the money!
Yup. I’ve been pissed off all day. I try not to let sports get to me but god Damn.
I think when I started work today I just stared blankly at the computer screen for an hour and a half.

Constant watering and fertilizer can make any lawn grow occasionally.I never realized the Kings fanbase has so many trolls until these playoffs
there is no way holloway couldnt bring more than brassard/foegeleOilers could easily do the same with Holloway, but Ken Holland's too busy fawning over the next garbage veteran to trade for.
In before BUt hE'S NoT REaDY.
the craziest part is games 2 and 3 they were grinding to create their opportunity, way better team when they work hard grinding to create their chances.So who do you start tomorrow? Smith let in three really bad goals last night. He must be tired. Relentless LA shots and pressure do add up. Smith is the oldest guy in the league at this point isn't he? He blew his load, let Koskinen or Skinner (lol) lead us to the promise land. I'm done with Smith.
Safe to say when Josh Archibald is your second best forward on the ice, you aren't going to end up winning games. McDavid played the best game of his career for my money. Forget highlight plays, the guy was dominant in every part of the game last night. Defensively he's like Danault, and offensively he's like himself. He put on a masterclass on how to be the most dominant player on earth last night. Hope that didn't go underappreciated (I only read the most recent ten pages of this thread). Truly put the team on his back tonight and it wasn't enough.
Has anything changed in the last three years? being outworked and outgrinded. Trying to play a skill game in the playoffs doesn't work out well for anyone. The funny part is we saw what happens when this team goes out guns blazing and running guys, crashing the net, and whipping pucks from everywhere -- the win 6-0 and 8-2. Physically dominating the opposition.
So what changed? Why did they get away from what was working so well? How do you fix it? Pretty simple.
Work harder.
You gotta go with Koskinen IMHO, but won't be surprised if Smith starts again. Although he has a respectable 930sv so far, his 2 wins were by blow outs, big deal, how about winning the ONE goal games for once, and literally blowing game 1 because of his stupiditySo who do you start tomorrow?

I didn't say that. Sure as hell would make it a different one though.You think goaltending is the biggest problem in this series?

If the GM upgraded on goaltending like he should’ve two seasons ago who knows where we are.Swap the goalies and the series is already over, Kings win in 5

IMO no further. Until this team learns to protect their end as a group of six even Domonic Hasek couldn’t help us. They must learn to break the opponents cycle and breakout together. We don’t need to score more we need to defend as a TEAM( including 97 and 29)If the GM upgraded on goaltending like he should’ve two seasons ago who knows where we are.

He’s also not the solution. Flames we’re all too happy to see him leave.It's funny because people say that no player can win on their own when it's an elite forward or defenseman on a weak team, but the same isn't allowed for a goaltender. Smith has held the team in the games before they even showed up to play the last two games.
He. is. not. the. problem,
People are blaming Smith for the 4th goal but when you watch the replay it was tipped by Keith. Keith played a big part in all 3 of our losses.It's funny because people say that no player can win on their own when it's an elite forward or defenseman on a weak team, but the same isn't allowed for a goaltender.

I’m not saying fans, I’m saying the players were happy to see him leave. The Flames also suffered some really poor starts in that series with the “battler”.Flames fans are morons, who cares what they say?
He was their MVP when those losers choked to the Avs
Yup that's oileritisI think when I started work today I just stared blankly at the computer screen for an hour and a half.
