Talbot looks like shit.

Oilers fans would be losing their shit if Skimmer had let in any of those 3 goals. Yet there’s people here actually defending Talbot somehow. He’s been awful

…that doesn’t mean I’m saying Skinner wasn’t awful in game 2, for those who are waiting to try and throw that in my face lol

 

[elmeroil]

That PP play with Connor taking it right to the net is what I've wanted all season! Hopefully they've been saving some of those plays for now. Great period!

 

[tiger_80]

A full 20 minutes without a crazy Kings bounce, amazing.

Great period.

Without f***ing Kempe doing his dirty deeds. He's a 50-60 point player who goes McDavid against the Oilers. lol.

 

[Messrules11]

3 more boys you got this

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Quite amusing how the Kings fans are booing us when we regroup in our own zone when the forwards change, and their fans don’t understand that it’s their own teams system that enables us to be as patient as we want.

Pretty sure they just hand a bunch of tickets out to the tent people.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Very satisfying 1st..

 

[Mcnofool6110]

I like this team

 

[foshizzle]

Imo Campbell was a great guy to target. The cap hit is fine. But the term is unforgivable. Campbell was not fully proven. LA didn't give term to Peterson. The Knights didn't even give term to Hill. Why did we have to give term to Campbell? We didn't have to, end of story

He was a terrible target. The management didn’t even have to take a deep dive analytically- just look at his save% the second half of that season. Then look at his underlying metrics. It was a bad signing.

 

[TB12]

Doughty is having an awful game so far.

Many people are saying.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Playoff Draisaitl is just different, not many are like him.

What a period By Draisaiitl. Goal, should be two assists, and blocks a Kings late play twice. First blocks it,then blocks shot on wide open net.

 

[TheNumber4]

3 nothing. Means don’t make dumb mistakes. Don’t take unneeded risks. Goal now should be S-word. We need a confident Stu moving forward and that’s one way to get it kick started.

 

[McOilers97]

Now Talbot can take that dump

I think the Oilers already made him shit his pants in that 1st period.

Talbot’s actually been lucky, Oil came really close on a few besides the goals.

 

[McDrai]

You can tell the boys looked at a bunch of tape. Instead of skating the puck through the neutral zone against that dreaded 1-3-1 the dmen are skating it to center and dumping it in while the forwards skate the zone with speed. At the very least it wears down LA’s defense and prevents the chance of a turnover in the neutral zone

 

[iCanada]

Kings fans booing us beating them with the 1-3-1 in their own rink is music to my ears.

 

[CupofOil]

I’m legit not sure who is more stupid. Kings fans or avs fans? Asking for a friend

 

[Heavy Dee]

Playoff Leon hits different. Give that man his money.

 

[snipes]

That was an excellent period

 

[foshizzle]

Pretty sure they just hand a bunch of tickets out to the tent people.

Let’s not joke about tent people. Those folks are going through some shit.

 

[McOilers97]

Talbot looks like shit.

13 against in 7 periods. That’s rough.

 

[94 Oil Drops]

Louie must be so frustrated with the results so far

Good!

F*** him.

 

[TheNumber4]

Ice district looks great. Remember when the flames had to celebrate in a parking lot. I think they rented it from Walmart.

Noticed that too. Love it.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Doughty is having an awful game so far.

Many people are saying.

Seems like he can only play one good game in a row in playoffs. he started the shitshow for the Kings tonight. Who's he yelling at tonight on his bench?


lol Fiala is killing penalties for the Oilers. 5 times on the PP he's botched the play, given up the puck. he's done it 3X EV as well, in one period. This type of play is why Minny didn't want him.

I keep saying this but theres no way Fiala should be on first unit PP. Kings 2nd Unit is at least controlling puck and getting some chances on limited time.

What is an S-word? Skinner?
