The Oilers were clearly running out of gas at the end of that period. Just got lucky with the non-calls. Drai is definitely not 100%. Gotta keep up the hitting. I think we have more hits in this game that we've had all the whole rest of the season!
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.
You mean kinda like when the Kings didn't have Mikey in a previous playoff series?I have to point out that the Oilers are missing some of their players to injuries. Ekholm being out from playing in the first round is the biggest factor in this series. Had they not been injured, the Oilers would stand a better chance against the Kings, but what do I know.
And Mikey was out due to the late season boarding by McJesus, which he was not penalized for..You mean kinda like when the Kings didn't have Mikey in a previous playoff series?
