***PLAYOFFS!! Round 1 Game 1 GDT 5/2/22 7:00pm on BSW & ESPN2***

[Reg or Rog?]

At this point it's Quick vs the Refs

 

[barugonMan]

De-lurking from a long lurk to say hey! Exciting game with too many Oiler goals, but Kings came in ready to play! Put up my big ol Kings flag in front, clearly the team paying attention.

And in the box again! Gonna kill us...

 

[Reg or Rog?]

I don't have an issue with either penalty on AI. The first was wrong, but the ref doesn't get to watch it on replay and there was contact with the stick. The second one I see a crosscheck.

The Byfield call right now was correct too.

I respectfully disagree.

 

[KingJ]

i dont usually complain about teh refs but... woof.

Same, however the Iaffalo and Byfield calls beyond atrocious.

 

[jammer06]

I still think Q makes that same play every time, outcome be damned

 

[Nyssa42]

dammit, Kopi!! Just power to the net!

 

[John a90]

Oh great...just launched an empty bottle of Scotch across the room. Bounced into the lower glass window on the display case.

Time to vacuum and watch the game simultaneously.

Must be our night. I just took a bag of popcorn out of the microwave, opened it and dopped the whole mess on the floor!!!

 

[barugonMan]

Spence with a solid game, good passing

 

[KingJ]

Kings need to start going down easy like the Edmonton Divers.

 

[Helvetica]

Brown needs to go full smooth brain and forget trying to play teh puck. Start hitting stuff.

 

[santiclaws]

Same, however the Iaffalo and Byfield calls beyond atrocious.

Iaffalo call was borderline. The Byfield play gets called 80-90% of the time in the NHL. As soon as the ref sees the free hand on the chest of the other player, the ref's hand goes up. It's like a reflex.

 

[Clif]

dammit, Kopi!! Just power to the net!

Seriously. Ozone faceoff or a rebound. How was that pass ever going to get to Kempe?

 

[Liz4LA]

Tight game...refs are having an impact on the game. Then McJesus has been whining about not getting calls, so Kings gotta be careful. Those calls were partly reputation calls.

 

[Helvetica]

FFS guys

 

[Reg or Rog?]

Drunken Canadian hockey fans screaming "Refs you suck" while the refs are gifting them again.

 

[Jran]

1.byfield sux...either sux or a prodject-does not belong on playoff ice..
2. Kopitar needs to do something..
3. Blake added nothing to this team so enjoy the playoffs

 

[HeadInjury]

Imagine having Doughty instead of Durzi, Arvidsson instead of Brown and a top 4 LD in place of either Edler or Maatta.

 

[Nyssa42]

Kings with 4 4on4 goals on the season, Oilers with 3. We've got this.

 

[Clif]

“They’re owed another penalty I think.” Thank you Chelios!

 

[jammer06]

Even Chelly thinks the kings are owed another PP, I'm not sure that's a good thing. Still through 2....gawd I've missed this feeling
