At least this was an entertaining game.

Does anybody deserve that shit show?

I mean, yea - neutrals like me, who just want to watch the world burn, lol.

HF wouldn’t be able to handle the traffic and would shut down every game

I guess there are a few people on this forum that were old enough to remember the last Oilers Cup win vs Leafs fans. So sure big score for Edmonton.

I remember five of em. How many You enjoyed bub?

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

we are laughing at a Leafs fan because our team has won more than his

that's not being cocky, that's a the truth
cocky would be saying "give us the Cup!"

Or “we want Florida.”

Couldn’t help myself.

Developing a heated rivalry would be fun, you have to admit. I hope there is blood.

Our fanbases already despise each other. If the players despise each other, can you imagine the emotions of the games over the next few years with these cores?

For entertainment value, it has to happen.

Also 5 and they were more recent.

Van definitely has our number this year

But that team that lost the first three is a distant memory, I don’t know what was going on but it was like the entire team had the yips

Fourth loss was sans McDavid. Canucks haven’t really seen the true Oilers team this year imo

But both teams still have series they gotta close out and it’s a bad omen to act like round one is over

Agreed on that. If we do meet I’m thinking it’ll be a close series either way

This is the Oilers/Kings GDT. Take your off topic squabbles elsewhere.

Skinner with that nice save % in the playoffs.

Skinner summoning his inner bill ranford

Skinner had one hell of a game, looked calm and collected for the full 60 minutes

Easiest night a goalie could have. He couldn't have faced more than a couple actual chances.

 

[onetweasy]

I said the refs gave the Oilers a phantom PP, which even the HNIC panel said.

Oilers fans started attacking the Leafs because they couldn’t attack the call.

Walk me through the Kulak high stick that doesn’t touch anyone……it was the actual phantom call.

Anyway, your team continues to be a meme and the Oilers just won a playoff game 1-0 off a PP and that just has to sting considering the amount of energy you waste on Oiler threads…

So enjoy your sleep tonight hahaha.

LA looked mentally shook, low percentage shots and double clutching on good grade a chances

Trading PP’s is in Edmonton’s favour though. Just play the whole game 5v5 though. They gave the Oilers the weak PP because they were getting outplayed.

Even Hockey Night in Canada said it was a bad call

There was literally a high stick right at the blue line on ekholm on the same play either way they were getting a penalty. Not to mention all the other blatant non calls any one of those could of been call plus the refs gave Oilers a phantom high sticking penalty and LA just decided to suck and kill any momentum they had with it.

Legit disappointed. Like my parents when I told them I didn’t want to be a doctor.

HDC were 14-4 in favour of the Kings. Apparently a goalie could have an easier night.

 

[KCC]

Kings had some grade A chances, Skinner was just better

And so did edm even though they had so few shots. You could basically count the scoring chances for both teams on one hand each. Kings had the shots but skinner didn’t have to stand on his head or anything. It was mostly shots from the outside and one and done. Edm played a very structured defensive game despite being flat all game. The final few minutes was a clinic defensively by them.

It’s amazing how Blake has managed to make LA so much worse for three years in a row while simultaneously spending to the cap and burning valuable assets.

I can feel my blood pressure rise already.

Oilers had fewer grade A chances, and completely fanned on most of the ones they did have. Skinner simply outgoalied Rittich in this one.

Hopefully it's a turning point for him.

Either way, let's not be children and pretend that this game was a cakewalk for Skinner when Rittich had a much easier time.

Oilers played an excellent defensive game, but Skinner was still rock solid. There weren't many Grade A looks and the Oilers cleaned up rebounds all night, but Skinner was calm and efficient all night. Very few panic moments.
