10-0 LA, Dubois with a hat trick in the first period, Skinner gets pulled then put back in after Pickard gives up 4 in a row.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Honestly the most insane thing about the last game was the oilers trying to scrum with Kopi. Like out of everyone on the roster, you go after the nicest guy.

It’s nice having a team that finally isn’t there to make friends

Please share whatever hallucinogens you took this morning

Like how Nuge took 3 punches to the head popping off his helmet for no reason at all.

I don’t even remember the Oilers doing much in scrums except take abuse and laugh it off as the Kings try to goon it up.

Did they try to get into a tickle fight with him?

honestly the kings started it when the roughed up league wide saint corey perry

 

[SettlementRichie10]

Instead of Kopitar, can the Oilers please rough up PLD and perhaps goad him into some kind of lifetime suspension?

 

[soothsayer]

i agree but not until the games get to LA and the kings can ensure danault vs mcdavid. its going to be tough to handle in edmonton cause the kane/perry line is doing whatever they want vs the bottom end kings lines.

Danault was matched up against McDavid but he was shuffled to a new line because McDavid was absolutely shredding him. Part of the issue is that LA put Moore and Arvidsson with Danault, three small guys. It doesn't matter how good your sticks are if your whole line gets muscled off the puck. Some seriously head-scratching decisions from the Kings coaching staff.

I hope you realize that this means no one on the Oilers' team is going to be invited to his birthday party

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

I've always found it interesting how Leon Draisaitl sets up down lower than a typical power play trigger man.

Loved how the panel after the game went over him in his spot saying no one is better than him from that spot on the sharp one timer. (I’ve noticed Austin matthews has used the same shot from time to time this year too)

That whole play on the PP was great, Draisaitl goes into the front of the net bumps into his team mate and then disappears behind the kings D and slides down into that spot just before the one timer and when I saw the kings D lose Draisaitl in that moment I knew the puck was going to Drai for that shot

it looked like they tried to put their best skaters speed wise vs that line. problem is the oilers are so balanced in terms of lines that there probably isnt a better option. like whats the next best option going to do hold him to 3points and let draisaitls line cook? tough spot for the coaches and kings

But isn't it nice to feel the respect in the handshake line?

Oh wait.....that wasn't us.

Oh there was a reason. I was home in my Jedi bathrobe doing the Jedi force push hand thing on his helmet

lol 100% so did nuge, mcdavid and bouchard. now the kings will have to be more aware of 29 so will cheat that way and as soon as that lane opens up 93-2-97 can shoot and if they dont score garburator hyman is there for the rebound.

Huh. Thought I felt a disturbance in the force

Hmmm.....bathrobes, helmets and hand things eh....

 

[McShogun99]

It can't be more onesided than the last game, can it? CAN IT?!

Nurse-Ceci will do there best to keep it close.

lol... I saw that, and I may have been high at the time, and this may sound childish, but... "he started it". I couldn't believe Kopi could be mean, but there was one scrum where he seemed to be agitated over something... was a big surprise to me.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

We want Talbot. Oblige us Kings.

Congrats to the Oilers on going up 2-0 in the series.

The lies, he’s never mean! Could have been an accidental bump which he always ends up like saying excuse sorry sir my friend I did not see you.

 

[Three On Zero]

The other guy isn't exactly a great choice.

 

[CornKicker]

The other guy isn't exactly a great choice.

well one guy got his face punched in by the oilers and the other has been chased out of the net numerous times. if i was a kings player id start booking cabo and golf trips

Rittich hasn't been chased much this year for the Kings.

 

[CornKicker]

Rittich hasn't been chased much this year for the Kings.

they can put on the silver and black but they are still flames rejects to us oilers fans

 

[KingPuckChoo]

I'm just curious to see if my theory is correct

If EDM wins, fans will gloat further, they own the Kings and start listing guys like RNH, Foegele, McLeod, Janmark, Skinner as absolute monsters

If EDM loses, fans will state things like "we knew it would be a battle, no one said it would be easy"

can't wait either way
