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

[Manhattanboy]

7 games series really are brilliant. King’s looking at a possible sweep heading into the third period of game 3, sit back on their lead, coach ####s up an easy challenge call and it’s been straight down ever since.

[Mathgod]

A PP the Kings will do nothing with.

Or doing whatever the Kings do everytime they make them.

They need to tank to avoid the Oilers at all costs. Finish in a wild card spot if that's what it takes.

This is a really bad look for the NHL for the Oilers to beat the same damn team every year. Why would anyone watch this?

That was game 3.

They still came out strong in game 4 ... only to repeat the third period collapse for the third time in the series.

Byfield not getting that puck out broke them.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

That is one sad sack team.

Whelp who will let us down in Round 2?

That's not the NHL's problem. The Kings should figure out how to beat a team that they've played in the playoffs for four straight seasons. It's a bad look only on them.

The good thing is I actually have faith in Vegas.

If they can pull it out against the Wild.

oh that's easy. Vegas 2 - 2 Wild. Probably 7 games while grease pigs wallow in filth down at the cactus club rest spa.

Well it will be Minnesota or Vegas.

This is exactly what's going to happen. I have no faith in Dallas after last year in the third round. Basically we gotta hope Florida repeats at this point.

The Kings are wasting an epic performance from Kuemper. Do they not realise who the Oilers goalie is? Take some shots!

Teams can overcome one choke job in a playoff series but two choke jobs is killer.

[McG]

la radio just said that the reason for so many oiler shots on net is because they shoot it as soon as they can crossing the blue line...and then they rush kuemper. kuemper has no option but to hold the puck.

glitter twins then get an offensive zone face-off. is it really that easy?

Thanks for nothing Kings. You are absolutely useless. A couple dumb plays away from sending these northern alberta clowns packing... instead it's another couple of weeks of seeing more and more disgusting blue and orange paraphernalia pop up around Calgary. If you're going to crash and burn at least make it hard on the dips**t twins for a couple of games. Loss tonight is series over. Only thing they had going was some kind of home ice advantage earlier in the series.

[Manhattanboy]

And Leon Drycyle will play another playoff game without being touched. Incredible.
