Game Thread: G3 WCQF 2-0 Kings @ Oilers 4/25/25

Kings blow the whole thing with 6 minutes left in the game. But there were chances before that. I hate so much about this, but we're about to see if this team actually has character. Edmonton barely wins their 1st game at home, and maybe that's a thing.

Just the worst way to lose to Edm. Even after playing back for 13 minutes to let them tie it, get back to your game if you can. Why why why make that challenge theres nothing their except being mad you put your guys in that position

When 3 of the most offensive players in the world attack you to no end, you can't just defend. It feels like Kings came score with the Oilers, so there is zero reason to come out defending. The team that pushes is the team that will win, so we'll see Sunday.

When it mattered their PK got owned. Scored early and often. That one after the challenge was beyond EMBARRASSING. Kuemper also gotta be questioned finally for not coming up with some kinda save. Just the whole vibe. Hated Byfield-Fiala-Laferriere line tonight. This team is very deep, but that line can dictate a ton and they kinda no-showed.

So much bad tonight, and still 6 minutes away from a 3-0 lead, so looking objectively, they're okay. Just want more focus and more attack than defend. HATE stating big ultimatumss, but Game 4 feels like one of those games. Winner of Game 4 probably in the driver's seat

The team that gives that up first and plays back like that rarely gets their groove back. I hope im wrong but the path to losing is set....Kings gotta rebound in a big way
