Have a seat Kane. Would be great to make them pay for all the little BS

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

Skinner with two big saves.

 

[Kings4OT]

Should shot that into nurses face wtf

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

Fiala...I swear. Just the worst version right now. Overskates it as basically last guy back. Oilers running McDavid on PK, which I am surprised they didn't do already.

Kings score!!!

 

[Kings4OT]

MasterClarke!

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

Nice pinch by Clarke there for the goal.

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

Fiala. Lazy with the stick. Gonna be a big opportunity here early.

This has all the makings of a shootout honestly.

 

[Kings4OT]

Fiala just needs to play, someone tell him to stop trying to be a PO hockey player.

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

Byfield and Fiala just overskating and fanning on EVERYTHING. Dudes need to calm down.

Don't love this period at all, but the good is McDavid and Drai just having to work for every inch. Bodies on them constantly. When McDavid gives up the puck, the other guys don't even know what to do except look to him to get the puck again.

 

[Kings4OT]

Hope LA can recover, mostly back to how they were pre-kuz

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

Def take it. First PK was just lucky, but for that big play from Gavrikov. 2nd Kill was actually really nice (So far. Ten seconds left).

Def take it. Does feel like McDavid and Drai might get tired at this pace. And I can see the Kings getting involved in the little chippy BS, which is good to match that. Getting pieces of guys off the puck and just doing what EDM does. Making a difference too.

Not pretty but , I like the score.
Kane being Kane.
1 period done, but cant say Kings outplayed them

 

[davnlaguna]

Looked up the time on ice
Draisailt and McDavid with almost 9 minutes of ice time in the first
Double almost all forwards on their team.
No way they can play them 27 minutes a game plus overtime if any for 4 rounds.

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

Byfield!!!

Actually solid defending shift before that.

 

[Kings4OT]

Ya fuck you Dirty-dri

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

Kuzmenko not looking sharp and Fiala with yet another fan on a shot.

Kempe def got his money's worth on that penalty.

 

[Kings4OT]

Not late

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

Yeahhhh!!!

PP looks so deadly. Kempe post before. Kuz drive to the net.

 

[Kings4OT]

Blowout!

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

Blowout!

I mean. I still feel like it'll take 5 or 6 to feel okay.
