[Tiranga]

Hiller looks befuddled

 

[ChiKingFan]

Byfield what the hell get rid of the puck why are you making a move?

It's like he thought about going for the empty net, then decided not to, and in that time got the puck checked off his stick. Just absolutely stupid.

 

[NobleSavage]

I used to never understand why a two goal lead was "the worst lead in hockey"
Hiller coaching third periods kind of illuminated it for me.
If you have a 2 (or more) goal lead, your coach is going to demand you try and castle without attacking anymore. Works every time

 

[King of Pentacle5]

Wow. If that tripping on Gavi was called, Kings would have won this game already.

 

[Statue4Deano]

This series should’ve already been over with a Kings sweep if not for the absolute asinine coaching decisions by Hiller. I’m losing my mind right now.

 

[ChiKingFan]

Hiller looks befuddled

That's because he's a f***ing idiot. How does he let this happen three times in a four game span? A regular season coach, not a playoff coach.

 

[orpheus]

Weak 3rd Period, The Kings Specialty.

 

[Sevenhole]

My brain is going to explode after the bonehead play by Byfield

 

[Pevsfreedom]

If I'm Byfield... just.. do anything.. to get it out of the zone.. for the love of god. We are the absolute worst team at playing with a lead.

 

[hornman]

Kempe has been a ghost...hope he is okay.

 

[VCRW]

Kempe, I'm calling you out! You're invisible.

2 posts and a penalty. Not invisible to the Oilers. They are intentionally shutting down 9 and 86 tonight.

If Hiller's Kings lose this series to Deadmonton, he'll become the new TMac.

There must be a stat for blown leads and losing the game.

 

[Halfwall]

I fully expect the oilers to win in 30 seconds or less. Hiller learned nothing from games 2 and 3.

 

[DarkLeftHand]

There’s your future first line center, gang. Lol..

 

[jcwla]

When asked by a beat reporter why his team, the Charlotte Hornets, kept blowing late leads, the late Paul Silas famously answered, “Because we soft as tissue paper, man.”

And so are we.

 

[hking]

Oilers bench has controlled the game, out maneuvering kings bench in the last two games. Kings are not demanding delay of game when oilers slow down face offs to rest between whistles.

Byfeild needs to grow up already.

 

[TooCool]

My brain is going to explode after the bonehead play by Byfield

That pissed me off so much. He was trying to aim for the EN instead of playing it safe and clearing it. Nick was trying to defend Joel's icing earlier too claiming analytics has changed the game. Stick to common sense! Especially for playoff hockey.

 

[ChiKingFan]

Oilers D will be really rested for OT since they got to take an entire period off.

 

[JayWells24]

It’s like a recurring nightmare.
