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

4th line look pretty good! Would like to see more in the 2nd.

Hiller can no longer afford to play the 4L sparingly. It doesn't matter if Jeannot is still out for the remainder of this series, Hiller has to play all 4 lines to keep the Kings from tripping themselves when facing the Coilers.

Considering getting a lead hasn't always gone well for the Kings, I think I'll take that 0-0 tie.

And still they are nearly stapled to the bench. Helenius 1:54, Turcotte 2:04 and Malott just 1:27 of ice time. Seems like Hiller isn’t capable of adjusting at all…

And this in a game that screams for a wake up call since they look tired and/or just uninspired…

Look like straight ass this period. Kuemper's leveled up since the OT tho. Kuzmenko lookin awful.

Stubborn fool gonna lose us this series.

They were tying up the Oilers players in their own end really well.

Well, at least I missed the freaking 16 first minutes while I added HLN to my YouTube TV feed

All you missed was the Kings looking like they are afraid to play hockey

Yes. I wish I missed the first 16 minutes too, just pathetic to look at!

Living in Sweden, I got up 03:45 in the morning to look at this bs…

I wish I was in Sweden for the first 16 minutes of that period!

This is exactly what I was worried about and exactly what I was expecting ...except for the score. Without Darcy it could easily be 4-0.

I don't know what's going on in that locker room, but the Kings better wake the f*
ck up, or they'll be golfing this weekend.

I blinked and missed them.

 

[Halfwall]

This start reminds me of Game 7 in 2014 against the Ducks. 3 guys were on the ice in that game but only one must have passed the information on.

 

[deathb4dux]

Better second period boys, LETS GO!

 

[Sevenhole]

Kuzis line mates are invisible also. He needs some open ice and is not getting those opportunities. Still need to sign w

 

[Statue4Deano]

Kings are shooting everything wide or high.

 

[JC6388LAKings]

4L out there again and there's another Deadmonton penalty. Nurse going to the box for tripping. Come on, LA, draw first blood with a goal here.

 

[orpheus]

 

[JC6388LAKings]

Yeah! Kuz scores on the PP! 1-0 LA!

 

[deathb4dux]

That a baby!

 

[VegasHockey]

Kuzy!

 

[emsomaso]

YES!!!!! Now please wake up and steam roll them!!!!
