Pre-Game Talk: WCQF: Los Angeles Kings @ Edmonton Oilers

[McDrai]

If Harnarayan Singh starts singing the Kings names when they score im going to have a meltdown

I'm still scarred from his PAUUUUUULLLLL STTTTTAAASSTTTNNNYYY call last year

Connor throwing shade on Tippett. Nice to play in a system that the players believe works.

[Cloned]

Woodcroft is eventually gonna run 10-8 one of these days.

Oh god, if any of our games go to overtime, I'm gonna stream the NBC feed.

We'll have the best 4th line in hockey.

Time to get the juices flowing with a little energy from the past. The players said they could feel the noise in the locker room from this Game 6 crowd...and it was giving them chills. Maybe we can reach this intensity again. And...my inspiration is in the intro...

How is that button on Bob's jacket holding up? I could not take my eyes off it

Definitely the one that got away. Most fans still think if Roli doesn't get hurt, we win that series. I was at that game 6, and I'm pretty sure I have about 15 % less hearing now. I don't think I have ever heard anything louder. Definitely should have wore earplugs (pro tip for any of you heading to playoff games).

Couple things from the beginning of the telecast,

Don Cherry - guaranteeing an Oiler win

Kelly Hrudey - saying he expected Carolina to get 2 quick goals and snuff the Oilers out.

I’m really more of a 9-9 type of guy. 3D + McDrai out there

Can say without a doubt that in my 40+ years of going to games, that game, from start to finish, was the loudest I've ever been at. Absolutely insane. Also think that was the most complete and dominant playoff game I've ever seen the Oilers play. I miss that old barn. A lot of great memories.

 

[TB12]

IS IT TOMORROW YET?! Never wished a Sunday away more in my life haha

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

What is the closest hotel with a wicked good place for me to eat if I fly out next week ?

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

Why wouldn't they give Cassie the Calgary series? FFS.

No homers. Also ZERO quality. I’m sorry but Some of these people have passion but no rhythm and take me right out of the game.



Cassie sucks and should have a job as perhaps an anchor on the 3AM replay shows

jw marriott.

I'm pretty sure he lost a button flying across the room on camera a while back.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Just an idea. PVR the game and maybe with a little work, one could sync it with the play by play on CHED radio if Singh is hard to bare. Is the radio behind a few seconds or SN?

 

[tardigrade81]

I might have some twisted teas for the game. I’m wild.

I told a friend of mine, because I managed to find tickets to that game, that if they won game 5...would they like to go. Unfortunately, they weren't able to, but...I just should have headed out on mine own. I don't think I've seen anything like that before or since.

 

[Keggatron]

I hate being too overconfident especially with the past few years of playoff disappointment, but I really think this Kings team is garbage and has no business being anywhere near where they are. I think we should win in 5, but I have a feeling I'm going to be feeling more than a little frustrated with the refs.

Anyway looking over some things, in the regular season Kings had an advantage in PP opps 16-10. An extra 1.5 powerplays a game. What a f***ing joke considering their defense against Connor and Leon is literally to hang off their back's. That's all the defensive stalwart Kopitar knows how to do. I'd imagine the refs to swallow the whistles even harder against us in this series. Thank god for our transition to good even strength play with Woodcock.

Another thing I looked at was record against playoff teams. Ours was 20-17-2. Kings 14-20-4. Looking at other records, Nashville was 18-18-5, Dallas was 20-17-3, Calgary was 20-11-7. Let's call this what it is, the Kings beat the bad teams to get here and had a pretty lucky season.

I don't really know why I'm posting this as I honestly don't want to jinx us or be too overcocky. I just really f***ing hate that team and I've seen a few preview videos essentially saying it's dead even, when in reality this would be a massive letdown if we lose this series.

 

[Gunnersaurus Rex]

Start times 8PM or later cause god forbid anyone misses a second of Eastern Conference games.

Beautiful. Love the late starts. By the time I got home from work and make dinner, this still gives me time to do some household stuff and settle in for the evening.

Plus, for those going out for dinner before the game, gives them extra time.

IS IT TOMORROW YET?! Never wished a Sunday away more in my life haha

My body is ready.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

to me, this is the greatest and loudest I ever heard Rexall while being there...which just happens to be 16 years ago to the day



an absolutely stunning comeback to a stunning series

still not sure how that tying goal by Hemmer went in...
