And what the hell was that OT period? We had zero offensive zone pressure. The team completely threw forechecking out the window and looked like they were hoping for a broken play to capitalize on. These are the effing Oilers, it's not going to happen in OT! Our team looked like beaten dogs out there while McDavid and Draisitl were buzzing around like it was a new hockey game. Our conditioning looks terrible after the team has blown its load padding the scoring and then back pedaling the rest of the way.

This. That OT period was head scratcher. They looked they weren't even trying to make zone entries. They looked exhausted and the Oilers ate them alive with pressure. Was just some dumb line shifting decisions with our coaching, or they were too physically tired to produce any pressure.

It sure was tiring to watch. It was torturous how they just smothered that period.
 
From puck drop to the final goal, QB had a bad game. And Hiller's decisions are true head-scratchers. Sometimes all you can do is laugh. And whatever it was QB was trying to do in the final 30 seconds was hilarious

 
I know it's only natural to be emotional and disappointed. I think this lights a fire for us and we still win the series. Kings win game 5 in a blow out

Being chippy with the media for asking questions that everyone would ask?

What an embarrassment.

Every single thing I saw about that third period tonight had that question Bernstein asked. Dennis laughed about it on Twitter and he's a pretty homer. It's getting on in the King's kitchen finally.
 
It's my fault guys. I watched the first 2 games right after surfing and beers. Last 2 games the surf was flat and I smoked a bowl instead. Tomorrow I'm going to paddle out even if its flat, and drink beer.

We got this!!!!

After being extremely confident that the Kings would split in Edmonton and win in 5, I'm confident the Kings are going to lose in 6 after being up 2-0. The only way the Kings ever beat Edmonton in the first round of the playoffs is to only have two periods of hockey, sign McDavid, or one of these teams needs to move East.

Jordan Spence: +23 in the regular season. Not good enough to play in the playoffs.
Brandt Clarke: +13 in the regular season. Can't get ice time in the playoffs.
Alex Turcotte: +6 in the regular season. Not good enough for the playoff roster.
Samuel Helenius: +1 in the regular season. Keeping the bench nice and warm in the playoffs.

Jim Hiller is the dumbest motherducker in the NHL. Never has a coach blown so much capital with the fans in the span of four games. These 2 losses are entirely on him.

I'd like this comment 10 more times if it let me.

Honestly I've not liked his pressers since he took over and now he's being a baby in them. Todd was respectful and gave good answers I thought, if being nothing more than a talk box - but he talked about the game. Hiller gets annoyed at everything and say's we're all fine instead of just trying to answer the question. He's a bit of a clown.

I'm still mad waking up after 4 hours of sleep - but I think Kings MIGHT win in 7 because we have some weird home game mojo or maybe it's just the only way Hiller can coach is with the advantage, then get swept from being so exhausted in the next round. Somehow I think this is the only thing on anyone in management's mind, not winning a Stanley Cup. We're built to scratch and claw our way past the Oilers and I think that's about all we might muster. But probably not.
 
Can somebody on this team, anyone, get angry? No fight, except the guy between the pipes. Yes, the 1-3-1 was garbage, but it was something. These last two 3rd periods was like watching split screen press your luck and you're hoping not to get a whammy. In all of my 40+ years of being a Kings fan, I've never felt more disgusted than I have after 4 games. We should be worried about having too much rest in between series rather than trying to win 2 of the next 3.
