Game Thread: WCQF G1 Kings @ Oilers 4/22/24

Got a sick kid at home so I'm actually missing Juniors baseball game tonight. We have discussed all this in the other thread. It's time to put up or shut up, looking at you PLD.

Let's Go Kings!

Kane douches it up, Kings dont respond.....Kings lose 4-1


Hope not.......GO KINGS GO!

Evander Kane has been in the cooler but seems to always play well against the Kings either in scoring goals or getting under their skin.

Someone needs to break Hymans hymen. Send a message.

Mikey Andersen already needs to change two different jockstraps with how bad he's been beat twice already.

Dubois actually taking the body early I liked and Fiala with that early chance would've been nice to capitalize.

The goal was actually defended well by Moore, but Hyman took it right back from him. But when Edmonton is pressuring, it's just a matter of time. Kings still need to try to keep possession more because they will never stop this team.

 

[PuckinUgly57]

Wow. These guys are not ready to compete.

Good job Blake. And good riddance in a week.

Talbot probably gotta have that one. But yeah...feeling like a disrespectful sweep unless something changes.

Kings look like they've changed nothing, and now you got Talbot in net instead of Quick and the Korpisalo, and that feels like that's probably not going to be enough.

What a stat. Edmonton PP is 46% against the Kings in the playoffs the last two years.

That seems low

Unfortunately this is LAs most complete lineup this season, not how i would line em up...but my lines probably not work any better

16 SOG? First period? This is probably the worst statt they wanted, they don't look like they even belong in the POs.

10000% what I said to myself. They don't look like a playoff team. This is the 2-3 matchup and it feels like the 1-16.

Talbot actually made a few saves and the Oilers missed the net a few times. Mercifully only down 2-0.

I mean. PP to start next period. Going to have to find something.

Team simply has no balls...

 

[davnlaguna]

this last power play
I was get a shot and maybe a rebound
Then I was just get it in the zone
Alas it as not to be

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

Aside from wasting the 1 minute of PP time, not that bad of a start to 2nd period. Englund nice hit. Oilers ran Draisaitl with McDavid shift and Kings actually made them play defense. Nice change there.

Arvidsson....Ima need you to bury that one.

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

Yep....that makes sense. Absolute killer. Arvidsson same thing in years past. What could've been.

 

[PuckinUgly57]

Good lord, I was saying 6. Now I'm thinking 4.

 

[PuckinUgly57]

Team simply has no balls...

Thank the asshole who hopefully doesn't have a job next week.

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

Vegas doing work too. The only difference is if they win, they are in the Central for playoff purposes, so it wouldn't be Vegas-Edmonton in the second round. That would have to be the conference finals.

 

[Stunner_At_Staples_Kings]

Why does Byfield leave the front of the net on that shot? Danault shoots because Byfield has the screen, but when he goes to shoot, Byfield leaves the front. Can't do that.
