***Playoffs Round 1, Game 1 GDT Oilers vs. Kings 4/21/25 7:00pm on ESPN2 & FanDuel***

[Statue4Deano]

This is the best game Danault has played all season.

 

[Liz4LA]

Hiller's pregame comments were interesting. He said he leaves the room and the guys are the ones that takes care of getting ready for games.

 

[Halfwall]

At what point do we see Perry falling on DK?

 

[JC6388LAKings]

I wouldn't put this all on Skinner either, the Oil are stinkin it up

Unfortunately I think Pickard is a better goalie

And Pickard isn't that good of a goalie either. S.Skinner or Pickard, doesn't make a difference. The Kings will burn both of these Coilers goalies.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Booo. There goes Kuemper's SO bid. 4-1 LA. Crysaitl scores on a McPrincess feed.

 

[VCRW]

Pretty blatant hold of Kopi's stick by the anointed one... damn...

 

[Tiranga]

Kopi too owned by McDavid

 

[TooCool]

Pretty blatant hold of Kopi's stick by the anointed one... damn...

And you know when a King touches his stick, the ref will immediately call us for one.

 

[Statue4Deano]

Are you kidding with that non-call on McDavid holding Kopi’s stick? Jesus Christ that was blatant.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

2nd period ends. The Kings score two more goals but then Deadmonton cuts the Kings lead to three at the end of the period thanks to a missed call by the refs on what should been on McPrincess. Well, 20 more minutes left and LA mustn't let Deadmonton come back. Also, the Kings have to watch out for potential cheapshot plays by the Coilers crew in the 3rd because whenever things don't go in Deadmonton's way, they're known to resort to such low tactics.

 

[Clif]

That goal hurts. Just gotta keep the Kings from getting complacent.

 

[Tiranga]

That's ok. Keep up the pressure. Next goal is important

 

[Liz4LA]

The only way to get a score is to double up the crybabies and get non-calls.

 

[hornman]

Kings just need to keep playing their game. McDoofus and Dreidoofus can't be on the ice the entire time.

 

[JasonU]

we will see the Oil start ratcheting up the dirty stuff in the 3rd, Kings have got to stay focused

 

[tacquarelli57]

Pretty blatant hold of Kopi's stick by the anointed one... damn...

Doughty also cross checked in front of the net. Went up to the ref after the goal.

 

[ChiKingFan]

Hoping that late goal convinces Knoblach to play McDavid, Draisaital, and Bouchard all 20 minutes in the third.

 

[Statue4Deano]

Bouchard coughing the puck up into the slot from behind his net was just hilarious.

 

[XPantericA]

Hoping that late goal convinces Knoblach to play McDavid, Draisaital, and Bouchard all 20 minutes in the third.

They would if they could.

 

[Statue4Deano]

20 more minutes of the same effort and the Kings go up 1-0.

This iteration of the Oilers has almost no depth. I counted 1-2 good non-Drai or McDavid shifts by the Oilers so far.
