WHEW!

We're only up by two. I was concerned we'd score again and play right into Edmonton's hands in the 3rd.

Just don't sit back like morons... that's all we can ask for right?? lol

 

[Halfwall]

Can't blame him. Look who is out there for Edmonton

Not every shift. I fully expect another Edmonton onslaught coming up. Refs "owe" them more pp time too.

 

[Statue4Deano]

Kings have played a near flawless 2 periods tonight. I’m still concerned about the time on ice distribution. Hiller rolling 3 lines again. He’s expanded his d usage to about 4.5.

 

[VCRW]

Love the scoring from the middle 6 guys tonight. Oilers have been focusing on shutting down Kempe and Kuzmenko tonight. Kings are taking advantage with the Phil and Q lines. Well played so far. GKG!!!

 

[King of Pentacle5]

Hiller refusing to play the 4th line, we will pay for that in the 3rd.

I said this was going to be a problem. He’s going to completely gas the vets.

Just say no to the 1-3-1!

It was already showing on Kopi and Drew toward the end of the period.

I really think the Kings should switch to the LWL when in the NZ/D-zone (I'm a heavy proponent of the LWL). To me, they would thrive in it as they could more effectively shut down the Coilers' most dangerous lines.

Shaq we need your LA magic

The Oilers getting last change really giving Kopi’s line fits 5v5. Kuzmenko has zero space and time out there.

20 more minutes before Zoo at Crypto

 

[Nyssa42]

Fiala! 3-1 LA! But I think the puck was played with a high-stick prior to entering the O-zone. There could be a possible Deadmonton challenge for that.

Good, still no challenge.

I though so, too. I was so surprised they didn't challenge that, but maybe it was an optical illusion on tv

 

[Rog or Reg?]

Way to kill a rush chance Kopi

For a seasoned veteran Kopi has made some head-scratching decisions so far in this game... multiple times... to be honest these are plays I expect to see from a rookie.

He's taking WAY too many risks with his passes. Gambling-wise, Kopi and Hiller are attached at the hip. Riverboat Gamblers. Sometimes they end up in the Mississippi..

...but, all-in-all, I love our approach! However, there is a fine line between being aggressive and being stupid.

Be smart Kings, and we come back to LA up at 3-1.

 

[BakoKing]

If I could I would slam Edmonton +550 just because I always lose at betting

When you are exhausted you make mistakes. The good news is the Oilers have shortened their bench (forwards).

 

[Dr. Tran]

Great 1st 2 periods. But we need more. Don’t let the Coilers come back.

BTW, lol at Coilers fans chanting “Kuemper Kuemper” when they’re down 2 goals. Idiots.

 

[BakoKing]

Let's just pray no 1-3-1. This is it. 4 seasons culminating into this 3rd period. Ditch what clearly hasn't worked in that stupid formation and keep playing 2025 aggressive Kings hockey
