YES!!!! QB what a move!

[TooCool]

Nice bank shot Byfield!!

 

[VCRW]

Q's line looks really dangerous tonight. Great work by all 5 guys on that shift!

 

[JC6388LAKings]

End of 1st period. A good start for LA on what was a fast, high energy period. 2-0 LA for now. There's 40 more minutes left and LA better protect their lead and stay out of the box. Get more insurance goals and shut down the Coilers' O to keep Deadmonton away.

 

[Statue4Deano]

This Kings team really is different. Can’t ask for a better 1st period.

 

[Pevsfreedom]

Great first.

 

[Liz4LA]

What a start! First a PP goal then a QB goal!

 

[JayWells24]

That hit on Laferriere should have at least been 2 minutes for boarding, if not 5.

 

[orpheus]

That period was TooCool tested, Dolphin apprived.

 

[Pie25]

That hit on laf was a textbook charge and board. Player jumped from behind and 3 feet away from boards

 

[JasonU]

That was a great period, can't ask for much more. Keep this going!

 

[Ecktore]

Awesome 1st period. Gotta come out strong in the 2nd, because EDM is going to push.

 

[emsomaso]

Great period by Kings!!!

But how is it possible that even on our home ice the refs are like blind mice when it comes to all the bull crap moves Oilers do?

 

[Clif]

Oil look dangerous and 97 and 29 as creative as ever. But Kings are frustrating them already. Want to see more stick on puck in front of Skinner. Flubbed it a bit 5 on 5 but the Byfield goal was exactly what they need to do this series.

 

[Statue4Deano]

The goals are the highlights but that period had a dozen plus little plays by Kings defenders and forecheckers that made life difficult for the Oilers.

QB looks like he’s ready to break out this series.

 

[VF]

1st period

 

[Madness20721]

That should have been boarding on the hit on Laffy. Official was right there and should have called it, but that's how things are officiated against Edmonton.

 

[Nyssa42]

I'm exhausted..... Nice to have the 2 goal lead, though!! What a great period by our boys
