[Breakers]

Nurse just doesn’t grasp the basics of defense

WHO THE HELL ARE YOU DEFENDING? Drifting that far to one side

 

[Three On Zero]

Not sure Nurse's thought process on that one, maybe dont give their best player a grade A chance in OT.

The guy is one of the worst defenders in the league, he doesn’t think

 

[robertocarlos]

Bieksa sounds extremely bugged by the outcome.

He was bugged by Ron being so clueless. He doesn't like any of those guys.

 

[expy]

Oilers failed at upgrading their goaltending.
It's going to be their downfall.

Kings know any shot will go on in. I think this series goes to the Kings now.

 

[LAKings88]

I wouldn't say they are in control of the series. But the corpse that all the Kings fans talked about has some life now.

They just have to fight so damn hard. Oilers are just never out of it. Still think the Oilers are the better team out of the two. Skinner isn’t a cup goalie tho.

 

[Three On Zero]

There is your apology

Apology accepted

Did he think Kopitar had a pass option?

 

[DearDiary]

Nurse once again on his stomach when the other team scores. At least this time he didn't channel a star fish

 

[Zerotonine]

Good play up ice to spring Kopitar, but I knew it would be Nurse that was out of position. Can't win a Cup with that.

Good play? Lolol it was a icing that ended bouncing/deflected off a king player right on to Kopitar stick

 

[robertocarlos]

Byfield did something. PLD did something. There's hope yet for the Kings.

Are you talking about the Kings or just zombie Kopitar?

 

[vcanuck]

Skinner played worse than DeSmith last night.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Nurse fell asleep and it cost him.

He's evolving!

 

[Dust]

Yes

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Interested to see if the switch to LA helps to slow the Oilers momentum, they always seem to pour it on in their own barn.

Thought LA did a better job playing a connected game but Edmonton still forced their way into some great chances.

He was defending the 2 on 1.

Kopitar had the ghost next to him breaking to the net.

Unlucky by Nurse, he played the 2 on 1 well.

 

[tny760]

Good play? Lolol it was a icing e ft off the ice that bounced/deflected off a king player right on to Kopitar stick

nah that was an intentional pass

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

 

[DANTHEMAN1967]

High glove.

 

[Zerotonine]

nah that was an intentional pass

From who

 

[Daishi]

No excuses, you guys have Skinner who is still better than De5smith who leaves half the net empty lol. Canucks give up only 15 shots to Nashville the whole game and still he gets scored on 3 times

Goalies actually are pretty terrible in the league nowadays overall. A lot of good teams think they can run with a bum in goal but find out every year they can't.

 

[Little Psycho]

Even Kopitar got on this which is rare. Wonder what was said. I want Mcdavid and Doughty mic’d up asap.

 

[logan5]

Through 2 games, Skinner's save % is .857, and that's against the lowest scoring team in the Western Conference play-off bracket. That has to be a huge concern for the Oilers if they expect to make it even past the 2nd round. The Oilers could make the finals even with average goaltending, but .850 goaltending is something even McDavid can't overcome.
