Something is wrong with these guys and it's between the ears for some of their key guys in my opinion. Starting off well has been critical in this series yet game after game they don't. The Oilers especially the last 2 games they have been absolutely outclassed by an inferior team talent wise. Some of the roster decisions aren't helping at times as some key vets had a BAD game - Smith and Keith being the main ones. I am not defending Smith or Keith because they sucked last night but the poor starts are on the big boys in my opinion.
One of Leon's or McD's line ALWAYS start the game. ALWAYS. Yet time and time again, the Kings take it to them immediately right off the faceoff. Even in OT, the Kings took it to McD AND Leon together instantly. Then in the game to start. Once McD/Leon's line finishes their shift which is usually around at least a minute, the other line jumps on. So for the first 3 mins, its McD's or Leon's line on the ice getting CRUSHED. Then usually the vet, longest serving Oilers line jumps over the boards in Nuge. SO now you are into 4 + mins into the game and your 2 best players and then another key, longest service vet in Nuge have ALL played and the Kings will be up 4, 5, 6 shots to zero. Maybe up a goal.
The players keep talking about the start. We need to start better, start skating, etc, etc, etc. Look in the mirror you 3. Those 3 play the first 3 shifts and if the the team is on their heels and the start sucks, they are the ones that have to change it.
Other players need to be better. Smith needs to be better, Keith needs to pull his head out of his old ass, some young guys need to relax but the start will only improve if McD, Leon and Nuge, your top 3 centers do something about it.
I know that the Kings try to shut things down but the 3rd period and the absolute dominance they showed, proves the Oilers CAN breakthrough. They CAN breakthrough when they want too. So it's something between the ears stopping them and I hope they figure it out.
