Great win for the good guys. Sometimes virtue and heroism triumphs over evil and tyranny!

Keep rolling with Pickard. He was rock solid those last few minutes. That was awesome

Kings let that one get away. What a huge error by their coach on that challenge. Nice to see them finally show weakness.
Hopefully a big turning point! Let’s get the next one.

Dang it, I said in the pre-game I felt a Connor Brown hat-trick, but I'll settle for two goals from him in that win. Now keep going on Sunday, give them the blow out like they did us in game 2.

Great job staying with it by Pickard!!! Those saves in the last minute more than make up for that stinker.
So having a total of only 13 seconds of PP time and going 2-2 has to be some sort of record I would think.
Great games by Arvidsson, Kane, Brown. Klingberg didn’t look too bad.

They called one(!) penalty on LA in that game. Nice of their coach to give us one.

Absolutely criminal they were only called once. So many blatant infractions right in front of them. But then they call that crap interference on Walman and the call on Kane? FOH

Agreed. It is damn good to have a healthy Kane back. He was magnificent

Picks let in 2 goals that we didn't tip top corner on him. That's decent. And he had to be dialed in the entire game. Last 2 games had long periods of the Kings backing off with big leads, but every time they cared to push again, just auto-goals against us.
Think you have to go Pickard too.

I said after the last game we don't help our netminders, either someone wide open in front of the goal to pick the spot or deflections, I'm sure someone can find the stat, but I'd guess we've scored more goals on ourselves with tips and deflections than any other team in the league this year and most years.
I should add that I thought Fredric looked a bit better tonight, way off it in terms of where he should be, but certainly better than the last game. Shame he can't get to speed like Kane has.

I liked the coach rolling the dice on the goalie interference call. If the league decides to rule in favor of the Kings, which is always possible, the series could have been won right then and there.

I agree. I’ve seen a lot more/less to screw the Oilers. Kessler prying open Talbot’s pads, all good. Forget who it was skating across the ice not in the crease, goalie stuck his glove hand out (which our play rubbed on the way by), yup - goaltender interference.
So like you say - they risked game 3 for at best a 50/50 challenge, but if it goes their way, maybe that is series over.

Difference being, Kane is healthy and Frederic is probably playoff eligible to skate.

Seemed more like a 1/100 challenge. There was nothing there. Were they just hoping all the conspiracies were true and the league wanted the kings to win no matter what? That would have been the 1 out of 100 I guess.
How many times in the series did the kings quickly score back on us after the game was tied? I would have had a little more confidence in my group. Instead he kneecapped them.

1/100...but it was Evander Kane and that's why he made the challenge. The odds of Kane getting any benefit of the doubt in that situation bumps the odds of a successful challenge to at least 50/50. If its any other oiler no chance they challenge.

I think this league is ridiculous, but I’m not sure if they would go to those lengths to make it clear to the whole world. There was nothing to grab onto in that replay. He’s pushed into the crease. Slight skate touch but it had zero affect on the goalie. The goalie then jumps completely away from Kane for a desperation save attempt and is just lying on the ice untouched by anyone and the puck bounces around 5 times before being shot in.

We finally gonna get serious about finding a starter this summer? McDavid should hold off his negotiations with us until we do.

You said it yourself, he was in the crease. The skate touched the goalie. The goalie reacted (and could never reset). The league is intentionally opaque about this stuff because it's impossible to make tight enough rules to cover all things that could happen in a hockey game.
It was a 25/100 challenge. The biggest factor, if you believe the NHL fully manages games and seasons, is their want for a 5th game over McDavid being eliminated in 4.

The look on his face on the bench after that chip shot indicates he’s frustrated.
Not to take away from his goalies effort. The Oilers bladed at least 2 of the goals that lifted past him.

You said it yourself, he was in the crease. The skate touched the goalie. The goalie reacted (and could never reset). The league is intentionally opaque about this stuff because it's impossible to make tight enough rules to cover all things that could happen in a hockey game.
It was a 25/100 challenge. The biggest factor, if you believe the NHL fully manages games and seasons, is their want for a 5th game over McDavid being eliminated in 4.

Bad sign for the league if coaches are gambling on league corruption going their way. I think only 1 fan base in the world would have agreed if they called that back and even half of those would blush if they had to say out loud why they thought it was legit to call it back for goalie interference.

How many baffling calls, suspensions, and goaltender interferences have we seen? It's less league corruption, more game management and NHL chaos theory.
To be clear, I wasn't worried that was going to be called back once I saw the overhead angle.
