Im upgrading McJesus to McGod. He is unstoppable.

 

[Liz4LA]

It's a win...but can I get the team that played the first two periods come back?

 

[TooCool]

Went from what would be a dominant win to massive choke job... to escaping with a win. That's Kongs hockey. But we'll take the W.

 

[LUUUUC!]

This was a very sloppy win, Kings need to be better Wednesday or this will be another 1-4 series vs f'ing Oilers

 

[pray4mojo]

Thank God that's over.

 

[Ice Rhino]

That third period is the exact reason why I mentioned I wasn't getting excited until game end. Kings learned a lesson there: it's a 60 minute game. Not a 40 minute one when you're up by three.

Bottom line, SUCK IT OILERS. You one man team of garbage.

 

[VCRW]

That gutsy win could be huge!

 

[Statue4Deano]

My picks:
Phil Danault 1st star
McDavid 2nd star
Kuzmenko 3rd stars

If you back off him and give him space he is.

 

[dneprovec]

I am speechless

I had Skinner, Skinner, and Skinner.

Kings have no answer for 97 (and 29). Lots of new players, new system, and same result where 97 just imposes his will on the game.

 

[dannybuoy1]

I knew it all along.

 

[strong9]

Crap. Just crap. Edmonton owns us. It is like they just know they will come back.

First ever message here. Reverse jinxed it. But Kings played stupid in that 3rd. They should be angry with themselves.

 

[VCRW]

Didn't like seeing Drew flopping twice trying to block McDavid's passes. Keep on your skates and take the body, Drew.

 

[ChiKingFan]

Great work by the Raven to flutter that pass so that the shot would knuckle over Skinner. Can’t teach that kind of hockey IQ.

 

[Tiranga]

Great win, but the Kings need to stop watching McDavid. He was rusty the 1st 2 periods. That 2nd period goal with 6 secs left was the catalyst. No way the Kings should allow this to happen again

 

[Halfwall]

I hate the misuse of stats more than anything. Shooting at the empty net with that much time left when you can't win a faceoff is flat out idiotic.

That team looked like the better team. I really like that team.

They had better learn something. Going to focus on relief tonight but lots to be concerned/angry about in the third. Only good news is that is not at all how they looked periods 1 and 2. Pretty clear lesson there.

I almost had a freaking heart attack. I'm going to have to hit Tom's Watch Bar for some additional libation to calm me down.

What a night!
