GDT ***Playoffs Round 1 Game 6 GDT LA Kings @ Edmonton Oilers >>7:00pm<< on FanDuel & ESPN***

[LUUUUC!]

It's official...we are the Thorton San Jose Sharks.

OUCH!!!

 

[VF]

At least we beat the pattern and weren’t swept. That’s the only bright spot.

 

[ChiKingFan]

100% on Hiller.

 

[Liz4LA]

Thanks for everything Nick!

See everyone next year!

 

[Moog]

Bring out your dead!!

Bring out your dead!!

 

[Tiranga]

Thank you Nick, it's been a pleasure to listen to you call the games. In my book, you are the best.

 

[SirJW]

Thank you Nick. You will be missed.

 

[ChiKingFan]

Would love to see Gavi punch Arvidson in the handshake line.

 

[LB49er]

I’m glad the EN was on Doughty. Dude deserved it after this series. You’re washed, bro. Please retire.

He’d be great for a stacked team.

 

[WuwuKennyWu]

Looking forward to McDavid and Dry Balls choke again this season.

 

[Moog]

Rebuildy the Bear on the way!

Thank you Nick Nickson! It’s been an honor to listen to you all these years.

Rebuildy the Bear on the way!

Who doesn’t like Rebuildy! (But honestly, it wouldn’t be Rebuildy but Retooly)

Everyone is talking about losing 4 straight series to these guys. Unfortunately, I go back farther. It is actually SEVEN straight playoff series we've lost to EDM.

We kinda were.

Lol.

Curious to see what Kempe's injury is as our best player because I really hope he has one for the lack of presence last few games.

100% on Hiller.

This entire season when things were totally out of whack and we were so mad at things Hiller did...after two or three weeks of hearing us complain about it online here and on twitter he looked like he finally did what we were asking.

After how many games of the Kings getting gassed and because he had no faith in the 4th line did he finally put them in the game. The last one.

This guy wasn't willing to change anything midstream. And should be relieved of his job if only for showing those younger players he didn't have the faith in them to play their game after the TEAM was able to make the playoffs and secure home ice advantage in this series.

 

[FortyFour]

Nick Nickson. Soundtrack of my life.

Thank you dad for listening in all those years. RIP.

So long everybody.

Yup. 90-92 as well. Many years ago, so it doesn’t feel like that, but it’s still true.

It's official...we are the Thorton San Jose Sharks.

To be fair, that Sharks team was poised to win a Stanley Cup if we hadn’t beaten them. Kings almost certainly would have been eliminated in the second round. They only won games 1 and 2 because Edmonton was weakened from recent injuries.

To me, this it’s all on Hiller. That stupid 3rd period prevent defense, the stupid coaches challenge, and that stupid decision not to play his 4th line and 3rd D pairing. Then he’s all class during the press briefing. Just horrible. No killer instinct. All playing not to lose. Pathetic. Guarantee you he and Blake are going to talk about how the Kings only lost by 1 goal if you don’t factor in the EN, while conveniently ignoring that Kuemper was the only reason the last 2 games weren’t blow outs.

 

[symbology]

Welp it is done. The expected outcome after game #3.

Sure glad Rob got Edmundson so he can punish those pesky Oiler forwards. Oh wait, he didn't. Well, at least that signing allowed Kempe to play D more, which is the best position to play the team's leading scorer.

You should be so proud Rob and team.
