GDT: 2023-24 Western Conference Quarter Finals LA Kings vs Edmonton Oilers 4/28/24 EDM leads 2-1

[RocketKing]

Imagine saying before the season that this team would be completely healthy in the playoffs and be running Lewis and Lizotte on the new and improved 3rd line. And that two would be improvements over anyone else on the roster.

The Genius that is Rob Blake on full display

 

[Little Psycho]

Lmfaooooo hell yeah

She roasted him on instagram last year because he forgot to confirm their reservations for their trip so they showed up with nothing booked lol. He’s all golden retriever energy.

 

[bland]

Dubois might be one of the worst trades/signings in NHL history.

Faber would have done so much more for the Kings in this series than Fiala.

 

[Nasti]

Kings not being able to kill a penalty is more troubling than the refs. Also, the Oilers have completely boxed out the Kings in front of Skinner. The Kings have no one who can fight through that.

 

[bland]

Moore, Fiala, Arvidsson, Spence, Englund, Dubois, Lizotte, Lewis....and even Danault....all need to go. Were these all Blake's choices? This team ain't it in the playoffs.

Spence has been very good, why would you include him?

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Ummm....AHL >>>> Top Sweden League..... plus you want him to learn the North American game, which is different....but yea......sure.

I don't buy AHL>>>SHL that but I guess the extra time training would have helped him more than the dumb travel and more games in the AHL plus competing against other Prospects for playing time instead of having ample playing time in Sweden but like I said 2 schools of thought and Blake blew it out his ass

 

[Master Yoda]

Moore has to block that, not turn away when it was shot.

Yeah he missed the lane. He didn't need to go to Drasaitl.

When someone is this disengaged, I got shit for saying it before, but it points to substances.. pure speculation for the record, but i thought that to with Mike Richards - who some said was head shots, i say oxy

When you sign for that kind of money and do this, any and all speculation is fair game. The amount of people affected by your actions, the least of which being fans, is great enough to warrant intense scrutiny in my opinion.

Faber would have done so much more for the Kings in this series than Fiala.

Faber would be in the next round on the Reign. Let's get that straight. LOL.

No reason to believe that at all.

No the Kings would have traded a bunch of others and kept Faber I believe but...

 

[Master Yoda]

No reason to believe that at all.

No reason to believe that wouldn't have happened

 

[funky]

How about do what Vegas would do and block the shot, instead Moore ducked out of the way

Moore has been one of our worst players this series. It’s almost like he thinks he is an elite scorer and just waiting for a perfect play.

Right? Because its effort not talent.. and personally if some clown like biznasty got a shot in on me in front of a nation audience, Id be so livid, i'd go get a hattrick and call him out... but this guy goes, whatever, i dont care what anyone thinks, my teammmates, my countryman, hockey fans.. who cares i got 70 mil coming my way

 

[Sol]

No reason to believe that at all.

Lmfaooooo while Clarke since it’s the AHL and Lewis and Lizzo are playing over Thomas. No reason to believe that at all. Bro lay off the PLDs

Ya he's good.

No reason to believe that at all.

Why would they handle faber any moe intelligently than any other young player?

 

[LeftKinger]

Faber would have done so much more for the Kings in this series than Fiala.

His inability to play well consistently with other offensive threats as linemates is his biggest flaw. I do want to see how he does in a different system.

He played well with Danault and Arvidsson/Moore but...

 

[chris kontos]

Faber would rot in the a. Dont kid yourself

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Well boyz this could be the last 20 minutes of hockey played in LA this season so enjoy and hopefully the outcome goes the King's way...Gook Luck Boyz!!!

Well, headshots led to oxy. He wasn't abusing before his body started breaking down on him I don't believe.

What makes me scratch my head is we've never seen PLD have a stretch of games where we got to see what he could do. His moments of clarity have been few and far between.

 

[AbsentMojo]

RV is so weak on the puck, cmon man two hands on the stick through the neutral zone in traffic

 

[funky]

Spence has been very good, why would you include him?

He has really changed my opinion on him. He has been one of my top 3 Kings this series.

 

[ru4reals]

PLD won a faceoff take that haters. (Me included).
