Hoping for good energy and good game. Maybe try to improve that 50% PK rate, but here we are Year 3, and that might be high hopes.
Would LOVE if Kings decided to just have one of those games where they blow the doors off Skinner. Actually put that fear into the Oilers. I watched a bunch of...
Yeahhhhh baby!
Was sitting here trying to tell myself (Which is true) that I was happy with the effort. Despite the blown leads, this was a solid effort by LA.
Kopitar no mistake, top shelf. Skinner no chance.
Well, I'll be at Game 3, and definitely be a different energy. Party atmosphere...
Kings were never gonna stop Edmonton so they just have to score some goals. Looking for Dubois-Fiala line mostly. Willing to give Danault-Moore-Arvidsson a pass because they're on McDavid duty. Kings not even playing their 4th line right now.
Oilers already 9 of 12 on faceoffs and turnovers in Kings zone a problem but big start here.
Controlling the neutral zone well. At least getting bodies on people.
Man. Kings casual in their own zone but they're WAY more physical in front of their own net, which is a start. Kopitar with another pick there and another great chance of Kempe. Pressuring that defense is the key to this game.
Just watching some recaps on the game. Bouchard 4 assists and McDavid 5 assists. Oilers 3/4 on the power play. Oilers with 15 shots in each period.
Aside from the score, that's just such dominance. You ever watch Bouchard play "Defense"? I guess that's the crazy part to me. He's just a 4th...
You know me. Not the biggest Talbot guy. Seems okay, but just doesn't feel like anything special on any level. Appears stuck in mud a lot of the time, but positionally he's okay. Weak glove hand. But all LA goaltending has been bad for a few years. Korpisalo was actually pretty good, but once...
Sounds like their government is in the same cabal as ours, so their economy isn't going to recover, no matter how hat sales go. haha. As we just approved another $95 billion in monopoly money for "Foreign Aid" this weekend.
