Pickard not gonna steal anything. Still gotta play. Walman looks like he already has full blown Oileritis.
|
Bring up Rodrigue? The first 2 he had no chance. The 3rd, not stinky but stoppable. This last one was like the winning goal Skinner let in game 1

Wake the F up boys... we play the first 10 minutes like we should and then Knob starts messing with the lines and we take a step back... FFS... some very average calls but whatever... start pushing back. We finally tie it and then literally let a plug skate around us.
I've always thought this team is nowhere near what they were last year... we are getting outplayed in every position including coaching. Good thing we can build a team for next year... oh wait - we're in so much cap trouble that will be lucky to make the playoffs next season

According to Debrusk after one team scores the other team is going to try to score too.
Not sure if I believe it but maybe crazy enough to be true.

I’m in Orlando, so watching on TNT. Guys sound like they don’t like LA much. They keep calling out the refs for missed calls and the cheap calls against the Oilers.

Fix was in from the start of the season. LA was going to go on a playoff run no matter what it took.
Garbage calls. Two bar levels. Kings should have had at least 6 more calls on them. yet they have had miraculously taken only one penalty.

That pathetic call on Walman was it for me. What’s he supposed to do, move out of the way for the King to get the puck? Foegele skated right into him. They want to give LA every opportunity.

That's exactly right.. you have a right to stand in your position on the ice.. Walma had his arms at his sides.. he didn't interfere at all.. this all just NHL theater.. WWF on ice. The outcome was determined in the boardrooms weeks ago.
I saw similar plays this game the other way where the Oiler got held up, way worse than Walman.. .. no call.. then that one materializes out of nowhere.

Hyman just got high sticked twice on the same play. No call. Hard to believe these refs get paid for being this bad at their jobs.

Half the team should be flushed.. no foot speed.. no intensity.. zero jam.. too many forwards that are no threat to score.. and defencemen that can't learn or play defense.. goalies that are bottom tier NHL average.

This is definitely not last years animal. Stan Bowman has done nothing but take this team down a notch or two.

We aren't the same team, but let's not kid ourselves here. Goaltending is the biggest issue. 5 goals in game one wasn't enough. And now we need 5 goals at least tonight to win. That's just not a recipe to win expecting that every night

lol. This team seriously is crap aside from a couple guys. Those two guys can win on their own of course but we barely deserve anything in this series.

Yeah. His Hart quality year has been totally derailed by the injury. Sucks. McDavid never really had it all season. Doing what he can but he’s not at all at the level we are used to. Both guys total garbage in our end tonight. Probably demoralized.

Why is Wallman ahead of Moore at the last goal!?
What are they though to do… be all wingers!?
I don’t understand that play at all…

Are they all invited to Drai's wedding?? Are they all wanting to get a suntan before the wedding? They sure are playing like they want a holiday soon..

Have fun, don’t be afraid to take chances and make plays
That might be the full extent of the defensive coaching our D have been getting this season.

Klingberg actually looks good too. And brown kane henrique line if we are looking for bright spots.
Why is the ref trying to string out the call like that?
