This game is the perfect example of why the Kings were never “right there” vs. the Oilers. The pace is several steps above anything we saw in the 1st round matchup. And it’s not the foot speed the Kings can’t match. It’s the transition game. Both of these teams are elite puck moving teams. They break out of their zone with short and long accurate passing. The Kings can’t do a fraction of what they both do with regularity.
He's awesomeIncredible high hockey IQ play by Robertson. Such a great player.
Yep. Something else to ponder, the Oilers PP has not been great these playoffs with the exception of round 1. Hmmmmm........
It may be indicative of a deep character flaw on my part, but McD's face when DAL got the EN was so sweet, only slightly sweeter was the crowd shots, first when the Stars scored 3 in the 2nd to take the lead (when EDM fans thought it was wrapped up) and then when Robertson got his 3rd to take the lead for good. Yes, I'm a sore-loser...but man, schaudenfreude Is a helluva drug ! Go Stars!
