Post-Game Talk: Oilers Win Game 1! Broken sticks and lucky deflections be damned!

No panel post game form Toronto?

Not a leaf game

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Moore better be suspended if this league cares about consistency

 

[Frank the Tank]

Dominant win punctuated by the Oilers continuing to abuse the Kings PK. I don't mind all those bank goals because it will be a vivid reminder to the Oilers that you can't let up against a team

 

[Sra1974]

One non hockey comment but that was the most pathetic hat collection effort ever. They were just randomly skating around and grabbing hats. Shovels and big bags folks.

Kings pretty much have to start Rittich in game 2. Cant see it any other way. That said the Oilers are such a handful no matter who you put in that its easy enough to see why nobody wanted to face the Oilers in round one. Kings ended up taking the bullet again.

Tbh its the cheating Knights that evaded the Oilers in round one, purposely lost their last two games against easy clubs, just so they could go out of division. The slimy f***ers won tonight too in a game they were outplayed by Dallas.

Say what one wants about the Kings is they don't give up at any score and one of the things that makes these series at least entertaining.

A repeat performance in game 2 would be divine.

Score was closer than the game and the score wasn't close.

If the PP goes back to scoring at will this team is going to be extremely difficult to beat.

Or they will stop calling penalties.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Imagine being an NHL player and your reaction is to shove the puck into the middle of the ice where 2 kings are.

It’s funny because of the score but god damn Ceci could cost us down the line.

Hyman and McDavid will save us though

He had to get it away from Moore's stick, as he was a fraction of a second away from going in alone. You don't really have time to pick your spot in that situation.

Yeah everybody is wondering where the hell the shovels are. lol at picking up each hat on the ice individually and having one standard size garbage can. What a lol moment. I mean these people were literally bending over for one hat at a time. Not even grabbing handfuls of them. Was kind of hilarious. Fans were having some fun with it it seemed.

This is just about as good as a game one can get. We're blessed here folks.

 

[McDoused]

I gotta get up early for work but I'll be back to like all you insomniacs.

Pretty good first game. A little bit of reminder of what Nurse/Ceci did last year against Vegas (not as horrible, but the results were similar haha), but hopefully they got it out of their system for a few games lol.

Next game, I imagine a call is coming from the league to make it a 1 powerplay each game, unless game management requires extra late in the game. Dustin Brown probably calling an emergency session to try to get the boys to up their cheap shot game a little more for the next one. Be ready boys!

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I liked the discipline tonight as well, only took 2 penalties tonight. One on a dive and the other was fine I guess. The PK stood strong and not letting them on the power play helped stifle any momentum. Well done.

 

[FlameChampion]

Or they will stop calling penalties.

Hard to say. They called a lot of power plays last year. Especially in first 2 rounds. The league mandate is hard to figure out.

 

[McOilers97]

After getting 100 assists in the regular season, McDavid has decided to challenge himself a bit more and get 100 assists in a single playoff run.

“HappY to bE WrOnG”

 

[TheNumber4]

Should give Nurse-Ceci a pass for tonight. Considering the luck. But yeh... slight PTSD arising.

 

[Drivesaitl]

How can anybody sleep after this? I'll be up for hours. Would be no point even trying to sleep. lol. Only two cups of coffee today but a heaping helping of Oilers buzz all day. Its whats on the menu man.

 

[Gnome17]

If the Kings were actually slightly better than garbage and scored a couple real goals to go with their bounces this could have been a different story, hopefully theyve had their puckluck for the series.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

A repeat performance in game 2 would be divine.

3 more of them would see this team moving forward. They were really good tonight
