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

Did Perry play that with a high stick? It was very close. On review, it looks fine.

Wait, what? You can play the puck to yourself above the crossbar as long as it doesn't go straight in?

That seems like a gap in the rules

Fiala!! Burns both Bouchard and Nurse lol

Great hustle Bouch...

If only he skated towards his own net with the same intensity that he skates to the opposing net lol

How can you be 10 years with McDavid on the team and your goaltending choices are Skinner and Pickard? That's borderline criminal.

He looks so disgusted every time LA scores.

Josi and 2 Firsts this year and we can give Connor all new ways to be disappointed

Cut them some slack, it's not like they could have had guys like Markstrom or Kuemper

(Markstrom refused to sign with them and they couldn't unload a god awful Koskinen contract, so the deal they had made for Kuemper fell through)

Yeah, if I recall correctly, Calgary offered more money for Markstrom than Edmonton did which who knows how things might have worked out, but how if you're the Oilers, it's worth an overpay to land one of the best goalies in he league at that time.

Go home Google AI, you're drunk

Benoit Pouliot: Although primarily a forward, Pouliot briefly played as a goaltender for the Oilers in 2018, filling in due to injuries

Stumbled on while trying to see how bad their goalie situation really has been

The Sportsnet panel just showed the Fiala goal again and McDavid's reaction on the bench. Disgusted is the exact word.

Corey Perry doing Corey Perry things.

Holy horseshoes Batman!!

The CA refs have finally shown up

Holy hell, who was the Kings player who tried to skate that puck out of the zone? Terrible and we have a tie game.

Edit: It was Byfield.
