Ullmark hasnt done the Sens any favors either,

Most predictable bad signing. Took Boston's stifling 2023 defense and won a Vezina. Cashed in and signed with Ottawa. Unsurprisingly, not able to replicate his success on a team that doesn't play defense.

Guy wore a McDavid jersey to Easter mass at The Vatican today.

Im not a god or religious person, but thats kinda low class IMO.

The Oiler fans are so insufferable.

That is crazy on Ullmark though. Leafs only have 20 shots. So 5 goals on 20 shots. Ottawa also out-hitting Leafs like 45-28. They said this is Ullmarks's 10th playoff start, and the 3rd time he's allowed 5 or more goals.

Ullmark 6 goals on 23 shots.

His #'s for Boston in the PO"s are bad too

Back to familiar with PO hockey and Buster worries me even more, he cant play physically at all. We need everone playing big if Kings going to win

What a shot from Hertl, they gave him all day but still

Wild cut it to 3-2, but it never felt that close. Kaprizov back makes a difference, but you can just see how Vegas wears teams down. They said they have the 2nd best Power Play in the league, but that they set an all-time record for fewest power plays at the same time. So percentage-wise, it's deadly, but they don't get as many opportunities. Weird nugget of info there. PP looked plenty scary against Minnesota.

Pretty good Kings video. Nothing insanely novel in the video, but pretty good watch on the final stretch before playoffs.

Oilers make surprising blue line decision for Game 1 vs. Kings

In what might be seen as a surprising move ahead of Game 1 against the Kings, the Oilers are turning to Josh Brown as part of their blue line corps.

EDM bringing in size. Kind of already got a preview of that in that last meeting between these two teams, but EDM looking to go more physical.

He was in the game last week, looks like Stetcher will be out still. He was all over the Kings in that game, went after Thomas who made a run at rookie Parekh in his debut.

Kings need to bring the physicality right off the bat, this series could get ugly. Really need Jeannot back ASAP.

Eyes on Buster for sure, he hasn't gone in the trenches the last few years in the POs. I remember last year he completely blew coverage on an Oiler who walked right down Broadway and scored. Can't have that.

Also on Fiala who is on fire but has a sketchy PO resume, need everyone contributing, playing ohysical and elevating their games.

Pretty good video, thanks for the link. T minus 7.5 hours, it's PO time.

Good player, total King killer. Still pulling for the Wild but I think that one is over in 5.

 

[PuckinUgly57]

Knobgobbler confirms Kane, Ekholm and Stetcher out. Stetcher is no big deal, bottom pair defender like we saw in his stint in LA. I was curious about Kane since he likes to run his mouth and run Kings players.

Also curious which Glass Boy survives the series, Turcotte or Arvidsson.

Kris Knoblauch officially confirms Oilers will be down three men in Game 1.

The Edmonton Oilers will be down three men and maybe more in Game 1.

Pretty decent preview from Jim Fox guest spot.

Tickets for tonight are already dropping, so I am debating heading down to catch Game 1. We'll see though.

 

[Kings4OT]

As futile as I think trying to win the cup is for this team, I am glad they made it. I hate when LA is golfing early.

Thanks for sharing. Good listen

Montreal just scored 2 in the 3rd to tie it in Washington.
