Game Thread: Kings @ Oilers 2023 WCQF G2

[PuckinUgly57]

Figured I'd start this so we can track stuff from game to game as the playoffs move along. I'll try to do it on game days but if I can't, someone jump in and start one.

Work has been crazy busy the last month, just getting through the day. Leftover pizza for dinner tonight from last night that the kids and I made for dinner, we do "make your own pizza night" now and again which is good kitchen time with my gaggle. Pucky Jr II has morphed into quite the chef (he turned 10 on 12/31) and loves helping in the kitchen, Ms. Puck II (turned 13 on 4/16) is a Chik Fil A freak and I can't stand that place but the GF and her will have that tonight. The boys go to their mother's tonight until Friday night so they're on their own with her.

T-minus 5:28 and counting. Someone hit Kane so hard he is financially whole again.

Rumor is Vilardi is back today. Hope that gives them a boast. Oilers are going to try to score early and often. I don’t think McJesus is going to have another game like Monday. Winning on away is great, two and it will shock everyone

And remember for the Stanley Cup : No Canada

He skated with the team at practice in a normal white jersey, he is in. Hopefully that throws a wrench in their plans. Fiala is the one I'm concerned about, I'm sick of that idiot Cogliano cheap shotting Kings. Goes back to when he was a Duck, he was suspended 1 game in 2018 for a head hit on Kempe (again) which killed his iron man streak. Someone needs to punk that guy, I almost forgot he was still in the league.

Coming home to LA up 2-0 would be something. Like I said I'm hoping for a split - expecting it actually - but they would go bananas if LA took G2 as well. Hoping for it. I also don't expect McJesus to be kept off the scoresheet tonight, he can singlehandedly change a game and has done so against LA before.

I could go another 30 years without a Cup in Canada, at this point it's pure embarrassment. It may be your national sport but the Cup belongs in America. Ain't your sport anymore, go sap a tree for my pancake breakfast.

Obviously any game the Oil lose is the refs fault, giant conspiracy

 

[PuckinUgly57]

Wonderful start. Can this team ever score first so they aren't chasing the game?

No

Sometimes its difficult to see how LA is even competing this season

 

[Kings4OT]

Kings with 0 scoring chances half way through the game.....Murray sighting on LA bench

This has to be arguably the worst PO showing I have seen from LA since the St. Louis series in 1998.

Tiny Dancer hit someone!

 

[Kings4OT]

Hey the mentioned the legend....."i havent seen valardi tonight"

 

[Kings4OT]

Lol score on 1st actual scoring chance

 

[PuckinUgly57]

Durzi sucks ass. What a tool.

I see him now lol

 

[PuckinUgly57]

Keep talking trash on no shows, usually burns me and they end up doing something. But then again I've been trashing Byfield all season long so there's that too.

Have to say, Legend arguably has the best hands on the team.

 

[Kings4OT]

Can only hope the Oil come out hard hitting and take a few more pims

 

[Kings4OT]

Or timid afraid to take a penalty would work too

 

[Kings4OT]

Durzi sucks ass. What a tool.

Ya

Durzi....did something, nothing good

His offense nowhere near makes up for his defensive gaffes and deficiencies. He's terrible defensively.

Pinched earlier against McJesus that led to a two on one, stupid decisions breaking out of the zone, he's the 2020s Modry and I've referred to him as Duchesne 2.0. I should call him "The Tourist" since he needs a map in the D zone to know where he needs to be.

I heard all this stuff about him when he was in Ontario, seeing him at the NHL level those reports were 100% true.
