WCR1: Edmonton Oilers (P3) vs Los Angeles Kings (P2) - Oilers win 4-2

[Tbull8]

Whats also a bit ridiculous is how he took Turcotte out for Lewis and Spence out for Moverare. You're 2-0 and proceed to change the lines and then play the 4th line for under 6 minutes each and the moverare under 3 minutes... No wonder everyone was gassed

That’s my dilemma every year the grease are in the playoffs. Cheering for certain underdog teams to win vs. wanting only teams that can beat the oilers to win. Less enjoyable.
It’s so irritating repeatedly seeing the kings 2-3 goals up at the end of second period and knowing the oilers will likely come back.

Pretty egregious error, had all the time in the world and tries to skate trough someone when a simple chip likely ends the game. His team is supposedly one of the best defensive teams in the league I'm sure its been drilled in their heads to get the ####ing puck out of the zone. It may cost them a playoff series.

Seriously, what is it with this? How big of a bunch of morons do you have to be to have multiple fights after every game between people wearing the SAME jersey? Like, I know Edmontonians are mouth breathers, and the in-breeding causes some judgment issue, but you would think the basic evolutionary reaction of “him look like me, him friend” would have to kick in at some point.

Are they making fun of each other’s sweatpants? WTF is going on here?

saw this last night, what a jackass...gets mad at the media for stating the obvious and asking questions they have to ask. Kings biggest issue this series is obviously closing out games. Comebacks with 5 or 6 minutes left are pretty rare in the NHL and your team that is supposedly a great defensive team has just blown two games (almost 3) and now a sweep is 2-2.

What does he want them to say? Good try coach!

Haha wouldn’t be an Oilers playoffs without fights among their drunken delusional fans.

Sigh.

Finally saw the OT ‘penalty’. That little diving turd. What gets me is how the little diver’s legs fly into air. If somebody trips me and I’m not expecting it I can guaran-g*dd*mn-tee I don’t donkey kick both of my legs in the air. McDiver 100% saw the leg out and faked the whole thing. Wish that was reviewable. The problem is Gavrikov had his leg out so all the refs saw was an outstretched leg and McDiver
flying in the air. An actual video review would show what a dive it was by the little turd. That ref should be embarrassed and held accountable.

[Rhett44]

The Kings are absolutely done. Folded like a cheap lawn chair again.

What were the scoring chances in overtime, 15 to 0?

[Manhattanboy]

Better dust off that resume Hiller although he’s probably un-hireable now.

Todd McClelland would never have made those egregious coaching mistakes.

Agree for sure but the Kings were being steamrolled in OT anyway. The result was never in doubt.

That all but confirms he'll stick to the sit back and get beat strategy.

Kempe - 24:20

Was Kempe injured? He's their top scorer, why did he get the least amount of time of all their forwards. At least the forwards that Hiller deemed worthy of playing. I'm not counting Lewis, Malott or Helenius... why even have those three on the roster if you're not going to bother using them? Kings need some depth.

He benched Kuzmenko for the 3rd but then plays him like crazy in OT...it was odd. I get he isn't good defensively but if he is good enough for OT why not the third? Locking it down obviously wasn't working and the guys he trusted to do it made multiple errors.

Maybe Byfield made the dumbest play of his life because he was ####ing exhausted. 28 Mins! Lewis chips that puck out.

[SuperMatt18]

Typical example of overcoaching.
