GDT: WCQF (Game 5) Edmonton Oilers vs. Los Angeles Kings, 10pm ET, ESPN

[Ghost of Murph]

I don't think there's anything more money in the NHL than Drai getting a clean shot off on the PP.

 

[McFlyingV]

Imagine calling Fiala for a dive but not Draisaitl

Yeah those plays were just so similar.

 

[OilWagon]

McDavid joins Gretzky as the only other player to have 10+ assists in a single series twice. Gretz did it 4 times.

 

[fsanford]

Kings would have beat Vancouver in 5 games tops.

They did own the Canucks. Kings fans really wanted to play them first round.

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

Teams still alive that the Oilers have scored more even strength goals than before they started game tonight:

Dallas
Carolina
Toronto
Boston
NYR
Vancouver
Vegas
Nashville

Damn if they Oilers have problems not being able to score 5 on 5 then so do a lot of other teams

 

[McBooya42]

Best power play I’ve ever seen

Historic even...record breakingly historic.

 

[Panthaz89]

I understand Oilers fans are excited, but this is literally a one trip pony once again.

it’s the same shit every single year

Legitimately curious without talking shit here, Oilers fans, what makes you think you have any chance against Colorado or Dallas if you’re just gonna be a PP only team?

Legitimately curious

The Capitals won the cup on the backbone of their PP...the goals still count not that I think the Oilers are the favorite.

 

[tny760]

Yeah those plays were just so similar.

yeah, you're right, fiala popped right back up and tried to take a shot, draisaitl rolled around on the ice holding his face until the power play started

 

[Novak Djokovic]

McDavid on your team basically guarantees easy entry and set-up. All that skill is nice when they set up, but the Oilers get to spend nearly entire PP in the offensive zone due to instant set-up. Huge for them. This is probably one of the few aspects (along with speed) that Sid has lacked in his career compared to Connor.

 

[SullivanT]

Even the panel agrees slewfoot/interference/hold watching all these replays on the penalties called not sure what the LA fans are crying about. All clear penalties Kings are just out classed. In 20 mins they can try and figure out how to be better in the off season

 

[Macheteops]

The 2 teams that have averaged the most PP per games so far are eliminated (Washington and Tampa). You still have to actually score on them for them to matter.

Proven to be false according to HF

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

man I love Kevin Bieksa...never thought I'd say that

 

[killermiller]

 

[Mez]

If your bar for success is being better than the Flames then fail.

Who said anything about success? we talking delicious Flames tears.

Let me guess….you’re watching a biased Canadian feed.

 

[Moose112]

As an oilers fan, and not to look past this next period but I, for one, am very nervous for a series against Vancouver. They are better than they've looked against Nashville and have smart offensive players that will be able to expose our weakness which is d-zone coverage.

50/50 on who wins that series, I'd say.

Not to mention the horror of a potential series against Dallas or Colorado.

 

[Hank Plank]

I love the over confidence shown by Oilers fans.

 

[Despote]

The regular season takes of Matthews > Draisaitl are looking as hilarious as they do every spring

 

[soothsayer]

Nashville looks like a Stanley Cup contender compared to this AHL team you frauds are playing.. AND you need help from the refs to score lmao.

Canucks are what everyone outside of Vancouver knew they were. You losers are always in here crying, knowing it's almost night-night time for a shitty but over-achieving Canucks team. Got to get your clown nonsense in while you can. Calgary in 2022 was twice the team your Canucks are right now.

 

[The Kingslayer]

They did own the Canucks. Kings fans really wanted to play them first round.

They playing the Oilers because of that OT goal?

panel says what you want to hear: "look even the panel agrees!"
panel says the opposite: "the panel has no clue what they're talking about!"

Spiderman meme.

 

[zar]

I have never seen the Oilers get advantaged by so many questionable calls… Kings fans deserve to be pissed.

 

[McFlyingV]

Its just getting old hearing how free of a win LA is. They aren't a cup contender, but they're a solid team with a lot of depth and they play excellent defence. Teams don't go +44 goal differential with excellent advanced stats without one of their top players for 80% of the season unless they're at least a decent team.

This ESPN crew is brutal to watch. was there no one else better than subban for this job? hes so cringe.
