WooooohoooooO!!!!!!
What a game. One more just like that please. Well, maybe with a few more goals past Kuemper. I'd be okay if it was a laugher for a change.

That was a tough tough game. So much effort, so little luck. Refs being their ridiculous selves as well to add to the challenge.
Stuck with it and won. LA looks so tired out there. By the 3rd they just gave up on trying to track McDavid with the puck and just kept collapsing and praying.
Pickard solid, only beat by a perfect deflection up over his glove. Just solid in net, never looking panicked.

Kings have their Ferrell, who seems to be a lame entitled award chaser now.
But we have Shaq:

...as BIEKSA says on the TV post game... all of a sudden (since the 3rd period last game), the OILERS look scary. 
...this time, it's for real (isn't it?).

A huge win in the context of the series, but what was impressive to me, was that it wasn't the big boys having to do it themselves. This was a team effort and big games from the likes of Klingberg, Frederic and Kane.
Another one like that in this series would be good, and perhaps a few more going forward please

...maybe it's just me, but 93 had jump that he hasn't shown since his 100pt season. 91/93/18 is now a real threat.

I think the boys have bought in.
They know they can do it now.
So this is what hope feels like?

This should have been a blowout if not for Kuemper and some insane luck with bounces right up until one landed for Janmark. LA is looking like a team that emptied the tank trying to finish us quick. Almost worked too, but the Oilers were sitting on another level and it came out in perfect sync with LA getting exhausted.
Glad this game was close though, cause we shouldn't feel like we can breeze through game 6.

A fantastic performance. Oilers always seem to get better as a series goes on.
Horrible reffing. We’ve had 5 straight periods of dominance, not really getting any edge in the PPs and they are definitely there. I was screaming at my TV about the covered puck by Byfield. That said though, we got some divers on the team and I wonder if that is playing any role.
Clean house or bust

Have to say I'm lovin' Corey Perry.. another great game.. the guy has so much skill and puck IQ.. he does the sick toe drag that almost scores.. and then the behind the back pass in tight to Leon for a glorious shot on net.. all in close within 3 feet of the crease.. total Beaut.

The sprinkle of swagger in this thread is making me uneasy.
But I think we deserve it. This team. Wow.

Pretty funny.. Debrusk can't pry the words out of his mouth saying Byfield put his hand on the puck.. in plain sight on the in the net replay.. he refuses to say it.. then teh usually fence sitting Sportsnet panel unanimously say it was absolutely hand on puck and should have been a penalty shot.. every one of them even Friedman.. can't explain it other than he and Jack have a deal for next year down south.

I know what you mean.. and agree.. shouldn't get cocky.. but there were some players that played well and should be credited.. just shouldn't crap on opposing players (too much).. screws with hockey karma.

Safe Louie.
I think I figured out why he’s rarely critical of Skinner.
Because he always standing beside Pickard.

Not sure if it’s luck. Relentless high octane Oilers are getting past at least two games where we’d be ‘goalie’d’ in the regular season. Kuemper’s been outstanding.
After game 2 , I felt like this was not a team to take a long run, but after a few games they found their timing and looked rested and heakthy’ish.
If this is them ….. could be a fun summer drinking deck beer.

We dominated most of the game. Exact opposite of game 2 where I had really nothing to say positive. Go Oilers!

Oh for sure Keumper has a ton of skill.. great goaltender.. he made great saves.. but quite a few this game just hit him.. that's what I mean by luck.

Yeah. Once again Kane is the man in on the tying goal. And the guy that finally gets a favorable bounce off Kuemper’s endless rebounds and can finally cash one in is Janmark. No luck for the big boys tonight but didn’t end up needing it.

Even beyond the initial shots. Kuempers rebound control was trash all night. Stuff coming off him all over the place but never where we needed it. All the chaos and the puck just finding ways to never be in a good spot. Until Janmark.

You bet man.. Kane is a total gamer. Same mold as Perry. The will to win and make a difference.
He's only going to get better.. this is his training camp/pre-season ..
