I’ve seen some comments from Oilers fans about Kings players diving. I’m genuinely confused. Who do they think is diving on the Kings and which penalties have they drawn from the dives???

For such an educated fanbase, they sure are a group of #$%^& whiners! The are calling Arvy for a dive on the Nurse interference.

If the oilers dont man up and start taking responsibility, then we are still in their heads!

1st playoff gm at the crypt for us this yr. Looking fwd to the gm!

That is insane. Nurse used his stick like a lever and caught Arvidsson’s leg. It wasn’t even particularly close.

I had to look into it and now I’m seeing them complain about the Ekholm cross check on Kopitar. Anze Kopitar has played in the league for 17 years. Never once accused of diving. He’s taken a lifetime of punishment. But now all the sudden he thinks it’s time to start diving? Insanity. Ekholm gave him a two hander to the lower back. That’s an easy call.

Right!!!!

I remember when Smith chopped Brownie. I dont recall this board going nuts about the non call.

The main board is also crying that the metrics show that the canadian teams are most penalized and the oil leads the grp. Not hard when u had guys like kassian and kane.

As with everything, it starts from woodcroft enabling them. As I mentioned b4, this plays into the kings hands.
 
I listened to an Oilers podcast and the guy was complaining that it shouldn't of been a penalty on Dry Humper when he tapped Doughty after they scored. Just don't be a Jack Wad and go celebrate with your Lord and Saviour Mc Jesus instead of chirping DD after getting the go ahead goal. Kempe scoring 18 seconds later was the sweetest revenge!
 
Also got a kick out of Woodcroft's comments that he'll take the word of the ''worlds greatest player'' over the war room when it came to Gabe maybe touching the puck with a high stick. Maybe they should start giving a whistle to McJesus so he can call penalties too!
 
I love that’s the Kings are up in this series, played close in the 1 loss but still they get zero respect. Take your analytics in a best of 7 playoff series and cram it up your oil well.
 
We MUST match their desperation. Just keep playing our game and play through the cheap garbage that's coming.

We are in their heads and now it's time to plant a flag in there.

Respect is earned. And sometimes you have to TAKE IT.

I don't remember whether it was here or on another site, but I saw someone calling him McLinesman after Woodcroft's comments. That was pretty funny.

Still upset about that play. That was intent to injure.
 
Coming into this series, much was made of the Oilers PP. Well, it has delivered at a whopping 50%. How the heck are the Kings leading in this series? Because, the Kings PP is almost 25 % (4/15) and the Kings have as many PP goals as the Oilers (4 each), with two of those coming in OT. One of two things will happen, and this will probably decide the series. The Oilers will become more disciplined and take less penalties (negating the Kings PP), or the Kings will improve their PK enough to reduce the Oilers effectiveness. We'll see! GKG!!!
 
Is it just me or does everyone want to kick the Oilers coach in the face with some steel toe boots. Buddy looks like an utter prick

To be fair, I think it was the 360 spin that had everyone thinking it was a dive. Definitely was a penalty, but not sure the mid-air spin was really the result of the trip.

I'm not sure what people expect him to do on that. Is he supposed to lock his knee in place and prepare for a post-whistle hit that shouldn't be becoming? Obviously he's reacting at the last possible second because Nurse isn't supposed to be hitting him there. The whistle had already blown the play dead and Nurse was head-hunting.

I like him. He looks like a puppet come to life with a ridiculous jet black dye job.
 
Are Oiler fans still dissecting the so-called high stick by Vilardi? What about complaining that the Kings are getting more PP chances than the Oilers? As if those are given out 1 to 1. Anyway they think every penalty committed by the Oilers is actually a Kings dive. But my favorite Oiler thing is when they say the reason the Kings are winning is that the league is fixing it so the Kings win & the Oilers lose. As if they want the best player in the game to go out in the 1st round. After 2 days of reading all their crying & whining, not just the fans but the players & coach, all I can think of is winners overcome adversity & losers make excuses. And we’re seeing what they are. So let’s beat these MF’ers tonight.

Go Kings Go!
 
Its a penalty on Nurse, no doubt. Its also definitely some embellishment by Arvy. There's literally no reason for his backleg to go flying up like that. But.. its the Oilers... so f*** em
