***Edmonton Oilers vs. LA Kings GDT 2/10/24 >>7:00pm<< on NHL & BSW***

Stupid Dubois

 

[Halfwall]

Great coaching guys.

 

[santiclaws]

WTF are they doing?

 

[hokiecat]

LA weathers the storm again. Another good kill.

But then, another too many men call against LA. What's with the brain-fart changes?

Not the coaches fault. Dubois can't put his arm up after wiping out and then resume forechecking

 

[Liz4LA]

This game is crazy and feels like it was the 3rd period instead it being the end of the 2nd.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

End of 2nd. LA gets on board with 2 goals but they're getting burned a bit with inopportune penalties. Got to clean it up and get your act together, LA, 'cause the 3rd is going to be a make-or-break your game.

 

[Guinevere]

Good 2 periods! PK and Big Save Dave keeping us in the game. C’mon boys, 20 minutes more!

 

[fake_it_make_it]

Ugh, glad for the points but stop giving Oilers chances with power plays!

 

[KHenry14]

2 too many men on the ice penalties is just ridiculous

 

[Pevsfreedom]

31 is nuts this game.

Matt Roy playing his best game of the season.

Putting on a clinic honestly.

Some bone headed penalties is our MO but besides that Dubois is having a good game. Keep that up.

Byfield just looking better every game - next season I think he's going to be a monster.

 

[VCRW]

Great goaltendfing, a strong PK, and a whole lot of luck results in a lead. Who'd have thought after all those penalties?

 

[Halfwall]

I think Lewis has more goals this season than in all his other seasons with us combined, lol

Great minds think alike.

 

[Statue4Deano]

Safe to say the Kings PK is for real. Fun game so far. Of course Oilers best chances have come on the PP. What else is new???

 

[Nyssa42]

Too many men twice in one period? WTF Hiller?

It was PLDs fault. He started skating towards the bench, then decided to be a man for once and go hit someone way down the half wall

 

[KingJ]

I want to be happy about the 40 min so far, but I’m seeing the same dumb penalties giving Edmonton momentum and Rittich saving the day.

At least we are getting the bounces, but never want to depend on that because it’s not sustainable.

We are a team built solely to prevent the Oilers PP so I'm glad that at least is working.

 

[Nyssa42]

Just before the first PP goal, I was about to type, "this willy nilly PP is gonna need some sort of structure"... But then they scored white I was typing, and I missed the goal, so you boys just keep flinging that puck around on the PP all crazy-like, ok?

 

[Halfwall]

They still have a minute to go on fresh ice. That lead can evaporate in a NY minute.

The boys are clearly putting their heart & souls into this game.... So many bruises. Looks like they are having fun out there, too. DEFINITELY NOT playing the old system.... Although not sure that's a totally good thing. Almost got away from them the last 5-6 minutes there

Well, the one thing that hasn't changed is the 1-3-1 neutral zone system, as they're still employing it.

Honestly, I think that needs to go. Hiller should have the team employ either the 1-2-2, 2-1-2, or left wing lock neutral zone system, as they're more appealing than the 1-3-1.
