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

[Roksta]

It's funny, the series is 3-1 with PP opportunities being almost equal all series long even if Edmonton is 10000x more skilled than LA

But sure the PP difference in game 5 is why the Kings will get bounced

Maybe they should stop playing like idiots

 

[Felidae]

Anyways regardless of how you feel about the penalties. Oilers have been the better team for the last few years they've faced each other in the POs, and this year is no different it seems.

 

[Muffin]

Here they come

What do you mean here they come lol. Did anyone think the Kings had a chance this series before it even began?

 

[vcanuck]

I don't know how EDM could survive in the playoffs getting 1 and a half PPs the Canucks get a game.

 

[syz]

Sportsnet panel already coping.

 

[Despote]

If Kings want to commit an infraction every time Oilers are close to getting a scoring chance at 5vs5, Edmonton is extremely happy to score on the PP instead.

A much better team 5vs5, PP or PK, doesn't matter.

 

[JKG33]

We get it you're a Leafs fan. They would be world beaters if they didn't have to play teams like Columbus and Montreal in the first round.

I'm the first one to admit the Leafs suck. Troll harder next time

 

[ohcomeonref]

penalty not called on oiler defenseman for holding on Arvidsson

You can pick out 3 penalties every shift if you're going to nitpick.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Congrats on your free trip to the wcf edmonton

The Avs will eventually eat them up.

The main reason not to wear a black catching glove as a goalie, is that it looks f***ing stupid and ugly.

 

[robertocarlos]

Two things that were obvious coming in:

Gary Bettman's shitty playoff format is seriously flawed
The Kings weren't winning shit with their AHL quality goalie tandem

They both had pretty good save percentages. But ya, they did not have much of a chance.

 

[Frank Drebin]

This is definitely the worst version of the Kings from the past 3 years. That goaltending duo stinks. Korpisalo was dynamite for 4 games or so last year

If the canucks had the oilers speed and skill they would draw more penalties

So did Hellebuyck

 

[tny760]

3 EV goals and one PP goal?

bragging about an even strength goal 2 seconds after a penalty expires is so very canadian of you

 

[Artorius Horus T]

REFS 4 wins
Kings 1 win

 

[Czechboy]

Wow.. so there was a conclusive video of the puck in the net! Nice camera work tbh.

Hrudey making a lot sense too (maybe the first time I've typed this)... goalies should all get tighter string and make the gloves black. White glove burnt Rittich worse than OJ!

 

[BTP]

everything is a f***ing penalty on this team lmfao. joke series. edmonton are powerplay merchants

 

[Mike C]

LA had the 2nd best PK in the league this season btw.

Another example of how stats are misleading

 

[Mr Positive]

If you have black webbing you still see through the mesh, geez

Plus I've seen it before where you don't see the puck but it's still a goal. If you see the impact of the puck against the back of the glove, that's enough

 

[SullivanT]

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

Our 5v5 is just fine the Oilers have 14 even strength goals this series.

 

[ManofSteel55]

these frauds are literally the definition of PP merchants.

We can smell your fear. Worry about your own team finishing their series before you start overthinking another one.

Black gear looks great. Especially with la colors

 

[NyQuil]

The problem is that giving McDavid more time and more space on a PP is unfair.

 

[vcanuck]

If the canucks had the oilers speed and skill they would draw more penalties

aside from McPP, who is fast on the oil??
