GDT ***Playoffs Round 1 Game 5 GDT Oilers vs. Kings 4/29/25 7:00pm on KCAL, FanDuel(?), TBS, max***

[JC6388LAKings]

I can’t even watch the coaching in this game anymore. First power play no dmen second unit two dmen giving up a 2 on 1. Again, not playing the fourth line at all and totally wearing out the top three lines.

Hiller is turning into TMac now in terms of stubbornness. And I thought he would be an upgrade over TMac. At least TMac is smart enough to utilize the 4L in the playoffs.

 

[ChiKingFan]

Not even sure they're going to get to 20 shots tonight. Or 18. One guy came to play. The other 19 just don't have anything.

 

[TooCool]

This is now four straight periods of utter domination by the Oilers. Not sure this is gonna change in the third.

Nope. We're done.

 

[LUUUUC!]

At this point pull Hiller and put Ferrell in as coach...

 

[Statue4Deano]

Kings had a stranglehold on this series and Hiller damned this team to another Playoff embarrassment. This is sickening to watch.

 

[Sevenhole]

Tocchet is available

 

[VCRW]

I believe hockey watching has now become a low priority until next October. This series is just another bad memory…

Worse coaching decisions in kings playoffs history.

 

[Statue4Deano]

Worse coaching decisions in kings playoffs history.

I still can’t believe it.

 

[Nyssa42]

Not feeling very confident about this. It's pretty bad when the crowd is changing, "Shoot the puck!!"

 

[ChiKingFan]

How much of a pissy little bitch will Hiller be in tonight's presser?

 

[Jran]

I can't wait for next year...maybe we will try 8 forwards and. 3 defenseman...

 

[Tiranga]

Can we please get a playoff seasoned coach next year? We do ok in the regular season, but can't seem to move that needle again and again. We're quickly becoming the laughing stock in the league.

 

[dannybuoy1]

I know Doughty is not big and certainly not healthy, but lack of speed aside, am I the only one who thinks he looks 4 feet tall out there?

 

[Halfwall]

And our idiot for coach have played our 4th line a total of between 4-5 minutes…

Don't complain, that's double their usual.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

If the Kings lose this series, Blake and Hiller better be kicked out of this organization and not ever be brought back in the future. Another 1st round exit for four consecutive seasons against the same team is just utterly inexcusable and just screams total failure, especially for Blake as GM.

 

[Jran]

I know Doughty is not big and certainly not healthy, but lack of speed aside, am I the only one who thinks he looks 4 feet tall out there?

Yes..to me he looks 3'11"...no taller

 

[LB49er]

I mean, realistically, it should be at least 5 or 6 to 1 right now.

 

[Halfwall]

Oilers getting every break.

 

[Statue4Deano]

I mean, realistically, it should be at least 5 or 6 to 1 right now.

6-1 easily.
