Took my oldest son who's 11 to the game, what an amazing game to go to!
They looked a bit tentative in the first but after that put the foot down and didn't stop coming. They got in on the Kings defense early and often. EVERY Oilers brought it. Nuge got 4 hits! And hits were actually what I would call a body check. Went looking and finished his check.
I thought every big boy was good. JP looked way better. I thought Kassian had a hell of a game. He played under 9 mins but he was noticeable every time he was on the ice. Hits matter in the playoffs. Archibald looked good. Hyman is freaking relentless.
Keith was fantastic last night. He was great the night before too. Cool and calm. Nasty in the corners. Sounds defensively. Great with the puck. Laser passes right on the tape. If he didn't like what he saw, turned back started over. I see why they wanted him. He and Bouchard are a great pair. They should have been together to start the season. Bouchards game has taken off since he got put with him. Kulak and Barrie were solid again. Kulak looks like a great pick up. Nurse and Ceci looked good. Nurse looed perfectly fine, had good zip in his step when he needed it.
Overall, it's pretty clear to me that if the Oilers play well, Kings don't have a chance.
