Not even lucky? Lol. Just handed the series in a sealed envelope.

The playoffs used to be a tougher brand of hockey, these diving scumbags and the refs have made it unwatchable.

It's the Powerplay Playoffs, barf.

[Manhattanboy]

Disgusting

[jg13]

Oilers PP goals in the series: 11
Kings Powerplays in the series: 12

[Jetfire]

Oh well, let a real team mop the floor with the coilers.

Edit: No idea how I tagged the Islanders in this post, but sure lol

[Calgary4LIfe]

Kings just aren't a good team. Oilers are so lucky to have been matched up with them. Stop fricken taking penalties. Show why you have a big contract Dubois!

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

They just took any semblance of competitiveness right out of the game.

That shouldn't happen in the NHL playoffs.

[SemicolonD]

Everything you need to see lol, chance of Oilers winning based on the play up till that point mostly 5v5 when Kings go up 2-1: 30%.

Then the refs stepped in and the series is over.

I miss those days. You had to commit murder to get called.

That's the way it should be still.

They're just breeding primadonnas with this "modern" approach.

[Scrambler]

Hope I wake up to miraculous news. Screw you Oilers, can't wait to see these losers up against a team that will beat the pulp out of them

That chart pretty much nails it. Except for the 68% chance the next penalty is an Oiler. Its a King 100%.

[EDMONTONisNG]

No fans like continuous powerplays and goals. Its certainly not playoff hockey. What happened to 5 on 5 playoff grind it out hockey?

[FlamesAddiction]

I never thought the Kings stood a chance in the playoffs. They aren't that good. I was hoping they would pull through, but this was inevitable.

[iamca]

Say what you want about the officiating, but the Kings are one of the weakest playoff teams.

I actually love these 'records' by McDavid and Draisaitl. Will make it even more funny when the Oilers win squat all during this era.

That is unbelievable. If it wasn't the Oilers I probably wouldn't believe it. But no team gets more in game advantages given to them than that collection of arseholes.

[jg13]

The Kings are outscoring the Oilers 12-11 at even strength through 4 games 2 periods.

[Ferarri]

This league is broken in so many different ways. Tonight just highlights one gaping hole which is officiating. I’m shocked that this is the product the NHL wants to advertise. Who wants to watch playoff hockey when it’s just a relentless parade to the box for one team?

Hopefully mainstream media south of the border takes note and calls out this pathetic excuse for hockey. If there’s one thing the NHL hates it’s negative press.

[Fan in Exile]

If that's the excuse for calling embellishment on that play in this game, then it's pathetic and a fireable offense. Basically they're saying sure, it's a bad call but he has a reason to be biased. And why not? The panel minus Bieksa is embarrassingly biased as well.

[McG]

I’m glad that we found out that Fiala got called on a penalty for previous years.
