Series Thread: First Round - Edmonton Oilers vs. Los Angeles Kings

What kind of pathetic loser do you need to be to keep stats on team records with certain refs?

Why wait until the last minute to have the excuses ready?

It's just funny that all these doofuses that spend all this time blaming refs for losing never seem to give credit to the refs when they win.

After watching countless videos, I think Gabe the touch Vilardi, did touch the puck. Not enough to alter its direction, but it likely touched his stick.
Thing is refs miss bigger calls than that all game long.
If Kings win the series Oilers fans will remember this forever. Or next playoffs
If Oilers win there will be a bigger controversy in the next round.

That's the main thing, it had no impact on the Kings scoring the OT winner some 30 seconds later. You play until you hear a whistle. The main issue Oilers fans have is they expected this series to be a cakewalk which is hard to believe considering how close last year's playoff series was and also the fact that the Kings are a better team than they were 12 months ago.

This is an actual media guy who works for TSN in Edmonton tweeting this out 7 hours before game time.

By the way, I love that lady's rendition of the Canadian national anthem just now

Feels like whoever wins this one is going to take the series.

Woodcroft already playing McDavid and Draisaitl together in this game. Reeks of desperation.

Kings are all over the Oilers. Skinner is the only reason it remains scoreless.

What a blocker save by Korpi!!

Vilardi!!

Vilardi!!

You can’t make that up.

Korpi again!!

Korpi again!!

He was way off balance there. If Drai shoots instead of passing that probably goes in.

woo!

Kings got away with interference there.

Oof Skinner.

My man was going RVH out at the top of the crease.

Edit: Very astute Kings crowd knowing when to chant a goalie name.
