***Playoffs Rd 1, GM 5 GDT - Kings @ Oilers 4/25/23 >6:30pm< on KCOP Ch 13 & ESPN***

Im definitely only benching Byfield this game, hes absolutely spectating out there in the D zone.

Korpisalo is the only reason this thing is 3-2 and not 6-2. Hes not the problem.

Roy better pull his head out of his ass quickly too or we are better off with Durzi getting those minutes.

Grundy looks like hes going to make fiala and gabe think of him as AI light

That's why I wanted Copley. Oilers figured Korpi out. I think it's a strategic shift that would make sense before more goals go in. Even these Sportsnet guys are calling for Copley, which is absurd because they never mention the Kings.

Kane made a perfect shot and Korpisalo had no chance on the 2nd and 3rd goals. 55 weak and then missed coverage on both……. If we want to point fingers point them there…..

Don't get me wrong I've been pointing fingers at Byfield all year.

About 4 of those last goals from Edmonton look remarkably similar. They are shooting high far corner on Korpi from the top of the circle on both sides and it's working.

Kings need to figure out how to defend that better and to not screen their goaltender because it's obviously a deliberate strategy.

Yes korpy...has a glove side position where he keeps his glove hand so low..he looks like it's in his pocket...he plays 2 deep..and when he drops he doesn't keep his upper body st8 up...he is too tall to make himself that small..oil have figured him out why hasn't tm...we look like the sharks back in the day..

QB was blowing his defensive assignments last game too. I would relegate him to 4th line minutes. And then sit him in the press box for the next game.
 
Btw 29 and 97 are both 8 mins plus that period, those guys are going to be out there every other shift
 
Ok the Kings are due for a PP. The refs swallowed their whistles in the 1st but there were some obvious even blatant penalties not called on the Oilers. I don’t think the refs let them get away with 20 more minutes of that.

You and me both….. Stutzle would look pretty good on this team……
He has always been bad in his own zone and despite playing with two of the Kings best players…… doesn’t score. Frustrating for sure. Hope he proves me wrong long term……

Roy did his best to be a total screen on that play, the standing around on the pk is not going work with a team of scorers
 
They sag off of Byfield and he scores the game winner.
Mark my words...

Yes every person who watched the pregame show realizes that...did TM not know that was going to happen?
 
Our defenders aren’t big enough to ward off Bjugstad and Hyman either. Even Anderson having trouble with Hyman there
