As I was watching Evander raise hell, I thought, “Good! Let the hate flow through you!”

Good gord that was satisfying.

Special teams – holy hell!

fishman

Would be nice if the so called NHL Dept of Player Safety would do their job and call out some the Kings dirty slew foots and low bridge hits. Don’t hold your breath….

prefonmich

Unlikely. Just ask Louie. Nothing to see here.

cowboy bill

I think the message was sent to the LAKings tonight.

KnightRain

Kings played their best game and still needed two lucky goals to beat us in overtime. We played decent but not great. Two games we played really well and shelled em.
Play our game and they have no chance.
Tried to take it to the alley and got settled! lol
The only thing the kings are better at is being dirty.
Really have a hate on for this team. Put ‘em outta their misery.

Neumann

Huge mistake to go after Kane. He will take all the attention and stand up for himself while all the skill just dissects you.

leadfarmer

Ok hard to pick negatives out of this game but Holloway playing 8 min is my choice

prefonmich

Due to all the special teams time. Can’t do much about that.

Sierra

Fantastic win. Hopefully no one is hurt or the bruises are too bad.

Skinner was better.

winchester

Bouchard my man, just ragdolls big useless Dubious. Proud of you.

smellyglove

Yep, Dad took him behind the woodshed.

JOFA

Haha😂

Boil-in-the-Oil

If your mis-spell was intentional… brilliant!

Ranford.85

Great performance all around. Kane and Skinner deserve their kudos.

Just when I thought LA couldn’t stoop any lower… this game was chaulk full of plays you hate seeing in the game.

I’d give first star to Evander “Gordie Howe” Kane.

First Howe trick since MacT in 1986.

BornInAGretzkyJersey

That’s wild it’s been that long, you’d think a Guerin or someone would have had one before now.

Overall, or strictly playoffs?

Munny 2.0

playoffs

Felt like in the beginning of the game, the Kings were taking some odd shots on the net hoping to get a softy or a flukey goal. Then when they realized their luck ran out, they thought they would goon it up and started crying foul when the refs called 10% of their bullshit.

What a bunch of losers.

dangilitis

That’s a great synopsis. They pushed hard for first 5 mins of period and 3 mins of period 3, where they had some consistent o-zone time on the cycle, but the Oilers did well at keeping them to the outside

BornInAGretzkyJersey

Anyone have an inkling why Bouchard was given two and 10?

The TNT crew had no idea, and frankly neither do I.

godot10

Both Bouchard and Dubois got 2 and 10 for their altercation.

BornInAGretzkyJersey

I guess my point is it’s clear from the first frame that Bouchard isn’t escalating with PLD, merely holding on and preventing himself (or a teammate) from being hit.

Bouchard even has a conversation with the zebra in the corner, mid altercation, about not engaging.

leadfarmer

The Ol you killing them get outta here punishment

dangilitis

Doing him and Kane a favour by preventing further abuse

Admiral Ackbar

I figured all those Dubois jabs to his head garnered a concussion protocol.

Side note: that TNT feed was solid, eh? Biz & Gretz between periods, play-by-play was fine, colour was pro-Kings but not delusional. That was WAAAYYY better than CBC.

Yukon Jerk

Zero breakaways surrendered seemed to make a bit of a difference.
Let’s not beat ourselves again against these bums

SKOilerFan

Exactly. Eliminate the big breakdowns vs an inferior opponent and you’ll be fine

delooper

Nice game, Oilers.

IMO this series is looking a lot like I thought it would. The Kings aren’t pushovers, but if the Oilers play well they can cleanly dispatch them. The problem is keeping the intensity up and keeping track of all the Kings change-ups.

jp

Real strong game. That’s 2 of 3 this series.

The thing I was most glad to see tonight was the 1GA for Skinner. He played well and he wasn’t victimized by the weird bounces from games 1 and 2.

jp

Seems like no injuries from the Kings dirt either.

Moonlight

🤞

smellyglove

Gotta hand it to Skinner. I rode him hard after G2, but he was Mr. Dependable back there.

SayItAin'tSo, Gretz, SayItAin'tSo!

That’s 2/3 where the Oilers speed bagged these losers. lit them up for 6 to go along with 4 and 7. Defensive stalwarts my ass. Rented Mules and nothing more.

Holloway had a good night, Nurse had a good night, Bouchard had a good night. The goals flowed and Hyman is a Beasts Beast right now.

Finally, Stu was Rock Solid. Good angles, confident. Wonderful to see!

cowboy bill

Kane should be the first star.

Sierra

And to think that someone suggested that Hyman should be replaced on the PP.

SayItAin'tSo, Gretz, SayItAin'tSo!

Happy to be wrong on this one. Though he was an EV demon in the regular season.

But He’s played unreal. I wanted to swap him out for a bit cause he takes a beating and I didn’t want him hurt for the playoffs.

But he’s stayed healthy and all he’s done is score. Sweeet

prefonmich

Mikey down like a sack of hammers!

GB&Q

A sack of… something. 🙂

KnightRain

Trip? lol Whatever…

Side

“There it is, Foegele with that little bit of interference….

….

Tripping call”

SKOilerFan

Zebras with another tough game

leadfarmer

They have a tough game to do. I wouldn’t count this one as an easy one

SKOilerFan

Well yah it’s a tough gig. Game management continues to become more of a priority.

DevilsLettuce

Nuge with 3 assists and beautiful PK work tonight.

SKOilerFan

There’s guys that don’t get their name called much during the broadcast that still have a significant affect on the outcome. This is 93

delooper

This Oilers PP unit number 3?

OriginalPouzar

Vinny D starting the PK is an eff you to the Kings – love it.

leadfarmer

Is that the guy you wouldn’t re-sign at 2 mil per. It’s getting hard to know.

Optimism is like heroin

He is a 3rd pair dman. 2 mil would be too much for that spot in the line up with our top heavy cap structure.

SKOilerFan

Can’t overpay for this ability. This is where your pro scouts earn their pay. Find the next Vinny

Tarkus

Can we start a petition to replace Singh with the smooth genial baritone of our host?

I can do colour with generous helpings of tortured punnery and general whimsy.

Everyone wins! (Except LA.)

Dirty play by Fiala

KnightRain

That looked like ankle, not skate. Dirty

giddy

However bad the Oilers have played at times this playoff series, the Kings have played worse almost this whole game. They could hardly get a shot this entire third period.

I know it’s 6-1 but Skinner has been super solid tonight behind better focused d.

SKOilerFan

Absolutely. There’s been some tough traffic shots to fight through

winchester

Pull the goalie! Pull the goalie!

Bunch of shitbirds

cowboy bill

The Kings are just getting what they deserve Louie.

Professor Q

I don’t think even the officials know what they’re calling. Everyone is confused out there.

delooper

They’re not announcing many of the penalties on the PA system.

KnightRain

Talbot was half way to the circles…but whatever…lol

dangilitis

Not a penalty. Incidental contact outside the crease

SKOilerFan

Exactly. Zebras don’t know the rules

OriginalPouzar

Talbot was like 6 feet outside his crease and ran into Foegle in the slot……

flyfish1168

It’s nice that we got six goals tonight. I just hope they keep playing Talbot

fishman

Nice to get home ice back in pivotal game 3!

GB&Q

Did Bouchard’s shot take a roughing penalty?

SayItAin'tSo, Gretz, SayItAin'tSo!

Louie knows he’s not employed by the Kings right?

SKOilerFan

Why are so many guys going down the tunnel? What’s down there anyway?

prefonmich

Now let those two get to dressing room early!

Ales In Chains

I’ve always liked Louie, but man is he out to lunch.

LMHF#1

He’s no Ray Ferraro and never will be.

DevilsLettuce

Oilers by 30!

leadfarmer

Ok but seriously Drai Mcdavid Bouchard should not take another shift

GB&Q

Wounds, meet salt.

BornInAGretzkyJersey

KING Leon.

KnightRain

BOOM!!! All business, bitches.

OriginalPouzar

SN not really on top of the infractions tonight, are they?

I mean did Bouch get a misconduct or something?

LMHF#1

This broadcast is even more embarrassing than the Kings losing their minds on the ice.

OriginalPouzar

Gregor says he got an 10 min – matching with PLDB (as Struddy calls him).

godot10

NHL.com has been slow updating the penalties. Bouchard and Dubois got 2 and 10’s.

rich tm

If it’s any consolation, the TBS crew in the US couldn’t keep up with it either.

fishman

Good. Pound in a few more goals.

prefonmich

Mature Kane to not respond to Mikey Andersen. I hate that guy. Even his name is stupid.😂

Strapping Jocks

Who names their kid Mikey??!

dangilitis

Kane’s discipline has been incredible. Saintly
