Game Thread: G4 WCQF 2-1 Kings @ Oilers 4/27/25

This really caught my eye as well. This is game 4 of the series and you have a 2-1 lead in the series. This is not the Finals or even a Game 7. Even if by chance they get through this Round they are going to be completely gassed. You could see it at the end of the 3rd and OT. Sure Edmonton was flying a bit but I think it was equal parts that along with Kings nothing left in the tank.

I don't really understand the Spence benching, he has been a mainstay all season and then you bench him to play Moverare for 2 minutes? Makes no sense.

I think the Helenius line should've gotten a lot more time to give the Top 9 some more rest. They don't feel like a complete liability out there and might bring some energy in the form of physical play and they spend their fair share of time in the offensive zone.

Dude....100% correct, Jill is way over his head and I have no idea why

He's made some extremely dumb decisions in this series including the failed challenge. The line usage is just absurd.

I usually check in on this show. Nothing crazy, but he does a good job or sort of fielding emails and comments to see what the overall mood is. I think he nails it with this being an actual fan vs leaning into his media credentials. Like how media people don't usually want to rock the boat and piss off the people they work with/for.

Just watched this on the drive to and from taking kids to school, spot on. Things have got to change tonight.

Also a bummer about the Reign but with guys graduating and having Mallott up here, who was a key cog in Ontario, not really surprised.

He also confirmed what I believed a few years ago, Fagemo will not be back in LA. Free agent and will move on, don't know why Kingsters were so high on this guy. Arty Retardy 2.0.

Jill pulling out all the stops, I mean this is some forward thinking.

Nice, hopefully they can shine in their 2 minutes and 18 seconds of ice time.
