GDT: WCQF | G5 | “Check” | Oilers vs. Kings | 5.1.24 | 8:00PM | SN/CBC

This is an interesting conversation with Kane about the slew foot. The ref's explanation is priceless.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

There's a large element of "HE HAS DIFFERENT OPINIONS THAN ME SO CANCEL HIM!!!!" to that whole ridiculous circus.

No, the only thing is they have yet to win a game he sings at

 

[brentashton]

He is a prissy baby, with an ok voice and we lose every game he sings at.

You’ve posted here and then the Oilers have lost the game.

In the pursuit of total Oiler dominance you should then stop posting here.

McDavid saying this to Kopitar at the opening faceoff:

 

[Fourier]

I say we just crack this out on the big screen.

Philly did this with God Bless America and Kate Smith. It was a great way to get the crowd into the game. Unfortunately, because of the words being changed I doubt this would fly.

For a one off, I think they could get away with the nostalgia.

You would certainly hope so!! He did a great job with the anthem.

 

[Dynamic]

Win this game 5x5 and finish the Kings season.

With Vancouver having to fly 3 timezones away for game 6 this team can get some valuable rest time before the next series.
A game 7 in that series would be sublime.

Maybe I haven’t seen enough of that series but what I have seen, that series is soft as puppy s**t. Looks like a regular season games. But yes hopefully sone more travelling to mess them up.

Ive also posted here and we have won, something Brett Kissel and his mediocre talent have never done

Friedman and Marek said it was a battle and Hughes is getting beat up.

 

[syz]

So over 4 games Adam Henrique has seen 2 high danger chances against at even strength. The next closest forward is Derek Ryan who has played 1 game and seen 4. McDavid and Hyman with 5.

Also since I was curious these are what the numbers looked like after 3 games, before a very (analytically) one-sided game 4. Top line really didn't take much abuse in G4 still (but also didn't generate much).

We can’t take any chances though.

Edit -Ps - I look forward to your next album.

 

[onetweasy]

Extra day of rest will have us rested and ready to control the play and the scoresheet.

End it tonight and enjoy the extra rest as the Preds and Canucks might just go the full 7!

LA has tried to be physical, while the Oilers have been a less physical, both by intent and need. No reason for the Oilers to ramp this up to an overly physical series, when they are winning and punishing over-aggressiveness on the PP.

As for it looking like a regular season game, it kind of does look like a regular season game against the Kings. But Oiler-Kings regular season games look like playoff games to me.

Only concern is that at 3-1 "game management" will now shift even more into "series management" so that over-aggression by the Kings may just be allowed now. Already dropped to 2 minor penalties last game, let's see if they try to make it 0 tonight. Not something that would change in games 6 or 7 either so the Oilers will need to just push through it tonight imo.

 

[brentashton]

Ok Phil Spector.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

holy smokes, if the Oilers lose tonight, they may need to fire Robert Clarke according to some here

That doesn't exactly speak highly of Draisaitl's 5x5 play.

 

[BlackDogg]

There's a large element of "HE HAS DIFFERENT OPINIONS THAN ME SO CANCEL HIM!!!!" to that whole ridiculous circus.

The only thing I'm worried about is the track record when he sings.

 

[Salvaged Ship]

Finish it please, watching Vancouver lose and have to go back to Nashville should serve as a lesson. A series is not over until you win 4 games, step on their throats and finish it now

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

That doesn't exactly speak highly of Draisaitl's 5x5 play.

Sure, but I can see how well he's doing, so it might not be all on him.

 

[BlackDogg]

Just cancel the anthem altogether. Best option yet

 

[Pavel10]

I certainly hope so.

Hes a good Canadian, Albertan and Oiler fan and anthem singer.

The petition is an embarrassment.

Doesn't he have dual loyalties with Nashville? There should be the standard singer. A lot of people don't even care about these pusedo celebrities like him, jaleel white, will Ferrell etc.

I wouldnt say its a soft series at all. At least not based on the periods I have watched.
There will be some wear and tear from that series.
In addition to that travel takes its toll too.

It is a very close series as well and it really could go either way.
Nashville is not out of this series.
