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

I think Kings are lucky to be tied. Oil could have gotten another pp goal and they had possession most of that period. We'll see if refs put their whistles away in the third. I doubt it.

The refs call what they think they’ve seen. If it looks like a penalty, it is a penalty.

Players need to move on and win the game on the ice.

I think Oilers are lucky to be gifted power plays. Ghost call on Iafallo trip and then a marginal at best hit on the 2nd one. I don’t like complaining about officiating but sheeesh.

It will be interesting to see how they officiate the 3rd.

I think they will let ‘em play. Calling a playoff game tight in the 3rd period goes against all playoff traditions.

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

Play a new tune, this one is tired. You clearly don't get that he's there to learn as mush as possible for the future.

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.

I think it's a regular season call on a rookie, but Q has to learn to get in that space to take it away. Next time get in there and get his ass down instead of bent over. Point is he needs to figure out to get through that guy cuz that space is just as much his.

I respectfully disagree.

The Stanley Cup Playoffs are not where players learn how to play.

 

[KHenry14]

Just do me a favor...STAY OUT OF THE FREAKIN' BOX

Yes it is. Where do you want him to learn? In practice?

It's game 1. Short term pain, long term gain.

Yes

For a team that has absolutely no chance at a Cup? Yes, it is where young players learn how to play - in the playoffs. EVERYTHING they do this season is about hte future. Besides, even if that wasn't the case, who else do the Kings have who would be a step up? It's not like they have solid vets waiting in the wings.

 

[jom]

Yes

Nope. This team, regardless of whether they play QB is NOT going to win a Cup this year. No way no how. So what do you have to lose in giving the rooks experience? Nothing, IMO.

Sorry...but I have to disagree with you.

[jammer06]

Yes

Was just talking with mini about Gretzkys book and how when he first got to LA and was in practice and delicately put it that they sucked. There's so much holy what the **** start

 

[Reg or Rog?]

Well, I certainly hope you're right.

I'm so drunk now I can barely type.

I like QB...can't wait to see him buffed up and kickin' butt...but I still think his butt needs to be on the bench...for now.

That's a lot of but(t)s...

 

[jammer06]

Lizotte hit his head hard.... That was bad

 

[Nyssa42]

thank you for your sacrifice, Lizotte.

 

[Bill Hicks]

Lizotte has heart but man he's gonna take a beating.

 

[jammer06]

Ass head, same
