You have to hope that Pittsburgh takes out Nashville tonight. Vegas wins out, and you need a win and a tie. Then you will play Vancouver.

[gotbeer]

Umm. You guys are doing it wrong. Now you have to rely on the blackhawks and ducks to avoid playing the stars in the first round.

[arch stanton]

Kings doing everything they can to void the Oilers. I think I'd rather play Dallas if I had the choice

[arch stanton]

And they back in to the 3rd spot and another Oilers series

[Tank]

they win in OT tonight as kempe scores 6 seconds into the extra period.

first round is set. we're playing edmonton for what seems like the 400th time.

You guys need some of this mojo.

It’s okay. We get EDM again, and that’s the chance to get that monkey off of our backs. Every team in the playoffs is going to be a challenge. NHL playoffs are the best playoffs. Go Kings Go!

[nando714]

Alright , 

3rd crack at the Oil 

hope it’s a different result

These guys sure skated backwards into the playoffs. 

Hopefully they go into full gear on Monday. 

Don't want to be Edmonton's bitch. 

[Jeremiah]

Today’s the day. Go Kings Go! LFG!

 

[deepdrive]

Oops, wrong thread.

[Slegnaac]

Huge OT goal by the captain to tie this series up 1 - 1.

 

[arch stanton]

I loved seeing Doughty get the breakaway. That has to irk The Oil more than anything else

[Jeremiah]

They coughed up a lead, but they didn’t collapse in OT. I’m glad they got a nice road win there.

[PattyD22]

I absolutely loathe Edmonton as we’ve been their bitch the last two post seasons.  Evander Kane and Corey Perry are so hateable.

Glad to see we got the equalizer last night in great fashion, with Kopi getting the game winner.

On to LA and hopefully a lot of momentum.

[Slegnaac]

Found these recently.

Dave Taylor's 1,111th game.

Final score was 2 - 2

93-94 was a disappointing season, missing the playoffs after going to the Cup Finals the previous season.

Great find! I miss getting physical tickets. They were always a kind of built in souvenir of the game.

[PattyD22]

Kings only allowed the Oilers 4 shots in the first period of game 4.  Best effort in any period of the series.  I hope they can keep this up for the whole series.

Of course they need more offense to go with it.

[PattyD22]

That had to be one of the most frustrating Kings games I’ve ever watched as a fan of almost 40 years.  The Kings outplayed the Oilers in every aspect of the game except the one phase they have sucked at all series.  Penalty kill.

A bullshit penalty and the Kings couldn’t kill it, even though they held the Oilers to 13 shots on goal for the ENTIRE GAME.  13 shots.  The Kings had 33 and Skinner stopped them all.

We are the Oilers prison bitch, plain and simple and it sucks.

[Tank]

kings have their backs to the wall tonight.

while they're playing well on offense, they've just been really sloppy on defense and have taken too many penalties.

and it's a crying shame that no one in the entire kings franchise has figured out that draisatl likes to set up low in the left face off circle where he's shooting at about 1000% accuracy. 

man, this (*&@#$*& team . . . 

[nando714]

0/12 on the pp

This is the best Edmonton team yet. I think the only Western team that can possibly beat them is Colorado. Those two are my bet to be in the conference final.

[arch stanton]

You should hope your new coach just shitcans the 1-3-1 and plays a more aggressive forecheck and lets the D get involved more on offense. Of course that's when you'll wish you had kept one of Walker or Durzi and traded Roy, who probably is priced out of LA anyway. If they can find a way to wrangle some cap space after they sign Byfield I'd be looking at either bringing back Walker or going after Brandon Montour then maybe see if the Caps will eat a little salary to bring back Kuemper
