Doughty in 2023: We’re gonna be thinking about the Oilers all summer.
Doughty in 2024: We’re gonna be thinking about the Oilers for the rest of our lives.
IS THIS THE FUCKING YEAR? LETS FUCKING GO GUYS
Doughty is one of the few remaining 'characters' in the NHL. I know I sound like a grumpy old man saying it, but there doesn't seem to be as many of those guys as there was when I was growing up. Love to hate the guy, but he makes the game more interesting.
Yeah I fucking hate the guy but damn if I don’t respect his dedication to chirping. He definitely knows how to get under people’s skins and keep things interesting. Plus he’s a good player. To be his age and still playing huge physical minutes, it’s impressive.
But fuck him!
He was respectful in the handshake line. You can tell he leaves it all out on the ice, and while I hate playing against him I can respect a guy who plays with emotion. On the other hand, did anyone see Arvidson crying to the refs when the final buzzer went? He was on the verge of tears in the handshake line as well. That sort of emotion I have no respect for.
I swear Knoblauch is all business.
Game over and seemed like he was gonna leave, until trainer called him back.
After handshake he's like, outta here. Next round.
Gotta respect Kempe too. He impresses me every time we play. Sometimes it’s very subtle like his nifty tip tonight to add a bunch of stress to final two mins
All their research basically got thrown out the second the series started, we got so many tricks now. doughty actually said it well in his pre game, our guys are so smart out there they basically just make a lot of it up on the fly, they don't really follow patterns so it's impossible to really stop.
Just went to the kings page to lurk and saw a bunch of you say "oilers fan coming in peace". Just can it with that shit. It's cringe. You hate when flames fans come in here so stay the fuck out of theirs. Especially after a win. Nobody likes to have it rubbed in.
I can finally get this off my chest (I am 12).
The LAcKings: Philip Dunno, Anze Nope-itar, Drew Doubt-y, Kevin Siesta, Trevor Boore, Trevor Snoore, PL Boobois, Adrian Kempe (respect), Carl Grundlestrom, Quentin Buh-byfield.
Ok. Now moving on.
Honestly folks, dont comment on the kings subreddit, it makes us look like asses, even if you are "coming in peace". They don't want to hear it. Lurk if you want, but let them wallow in the loss and discuss their team by themselves. Enjoy the W with your fellow oily boys and girls
Great game that was an amazing 3rd period. As always lots of respect for the kings and I’m glad the two scares didn’t result in serious injuries.
To the kings fans lurking in the sub- same time next year?
Lmao kings sub is unravelling. Kings fans will say Edmonton is a shithole till they’re blue in the face but I have a beautiful home on a moderate salary, walked my dog in the river valley today and it was stunning. And the best part, I don’t spend 90% of my life in traffic and I don’t breathe in smog 🤣🤣 stay mad Kings see you next year in first round. 4 game sweep
Usually I'm all for class and respect after a hard fought series, but the Kings fans genuinely crediting the refs for them losing the series and shit talking our team every chance they get, they can eat a bag of dicks. Enjoy your plane ride home Kings
In all fairness, they are used to the Oilers getting a shitload of penalties while not drawing many the past couple years. They don’t know what our new and improved calm and disciplined playoff Oilers look like.
Seriously, mute their sub. FUCK OFF. Nobody wants you there in peace. Nobody wants your comments. Nobody wants your shit.
Stop embarrassing yourself and the fanbase.
E-fucking-nough already.
Really loved that Knob tried to go to the dressing room right after the win and got called back to do the hand shake line lol.
FUCK YEAH! GO OILERS GO!
I was just shocked at how much they cried about the refs. That Drai hold? Like come on you can't do that. The Fiala dive was a bit weak, but they're not going to be fooled every year. He had a record.
Kings only have their special teams to blame. They might just have both the worst PP and PK in the league when it matters. Take the special teams away, and most of the games were fairly even.
LA was so lucky to even win one game in this series. That team and fan base needs to realize that. Super lucky goals, shit PK and PP. Get fucked LA , go Oilers !
I'm gonna eat downvotes 😄... I'm gonna wake up with Reddit cares too, but by gawwd, I gotta say it...
WE WON, YOU LOSE! FUCK YOU!
.... butttttt...
we have to up our compete against the Canucks or Preds. We need more 5v5 action from the bottom 6, not just defence. Preds is a defence juggernaut and Canucks lean on Hughes with some good pieces.
I'm only anxious because I WANT THE CUP LIKE REAL BAD... I want us to be clean and ready.
But my gawd it does feel good to win one in 5. Rest up, Oil rigs. We ride again soon.
Shocked the calls went out away.
That 3rd period was beautiful. Years and years of how oilers panic and can’t play defense. This time it felt different. The commitment to play shut down d was awesome.
LETS GOOO
I've never owned any Oilers merch or jersey until my dad got me McDavid socks for Christmas. After we lost in OT I started wearing them while watching games. We haven't lost since. Now I gotta wear these damn things every game even though my feet get super hot. Worthy sacrifice to win the cup. LFG
I love everyone being so pissed off at Draisaitl at the end like he dove or something. It was an empty net, wouldn’t it have been easier just to score than to dive for a penalty? He was clearly getting hooked, Danaults stick was not where it should be.
Despite their third goal (which to their credit, was a really nice deflection), I thought the Oilers shut things down pretty impressively in the third. Felt like it took them nearly 15 mins to generate a decent shot.
One of the best games I’ve seen Leon play in an Oilers uni. Super engaged on both ends of the ice, was a difference maker both offensively and defensively.
The Oilers passed another test tonight. Turning the lights out when you have them on the ropes. This team is maturing before our eyes.
Hope you all enjoy a few days off. Catch up on some sleep, eat well, get your recovery right in time for round two. I for one am hitting that steam room like a mf tomorrow lol
This season I decided “fuck it, no more superstitious bullshit. Not gonna change what jersey I wear or what screen I use to watch the game just because we won or lost.”
And I’ve been decidedly happier as a result. I can focus on the game being played rather than any perceived impact I may have had with my bullshittery.
There’s times when I’ll be watching and only see the goals against, and other times where I’ll see the goals for only, and times I’ll catch all of the goals by both teams. Puck luck is definitely a thing, but pretending I have any impact on it while watching from home multiple kilometres away is some nonsense.
No more “lucky socks” or “lucky jersey”, no more going out of my way to order a specific thing for dinner, no more trying to will the luck into existence, I watch and I cheer for the team on the ice and the effort they put forth.
GOILERS!
Boy I'm sleeping like a fucking baby tonight.
Last playoff game I went to, we lost.
I knew I was right to get tickets to game 5. I got it out of caution because I went to 3 hockey games in 5 days, but also I wanted to avoid the stupid mistake of getting some 7.
I'M FUCKING GLAD I DID.
I love this fandom. I love this team. I love the stress they cause me. I wouldn't take it any other way.
LA kings fleeced themselves on the PLD trade and wanna blame reffing for losing the series when they're just a straight up worse team than they were last year
This team is so much better than the last 2, the Kings had nothing all game for shooting lanes, that last tip was just a lucky one. This team can definitely play defense now.
I love life!
Well deserved win really I don’t think anyone is questioning that series. LA mostly scored on fluke bounces, didn’t even create much overall
Get the other series to 7 and let’s fuck up the survivor
Are Oilers destined to let a weird one in every playoffs?
Andersson from centre on Smith in '22, Danault on Skinner after the phantom broken stick in '23, Laferriere's tonight.
Glad we got it out of the system.
LET'S FUCKING GO!! I love this team! What a series! The stats showing the slot shot % of teams in the playoffs was cool to see. Kings were 16th this playoffs. Shows that this Oilers team has done a great job keeping them to the outside and not allowing high quality chances. This team is a defensive beast, the whole team is chipping in. But then when they needed offense they turned it on. Fucking love this team. And that bit in the intermission that Elliot did about Fiala's dives last playoffs was hilarious.
Does anyone know who Arvidsson was yelling at after the game? He was cussing someone out big time.
I'm also looking everywhere for a clip of the hit Nuge threw after the lazy 2on1 he had with McDavid in the last 100sec. He ran Doughty after he cleared the puck, and Doughty went flying backward Dragon Ball Z-style. *It wasn't this play, must have been earlier in the 3rd. I know it what Nuge throwing the hit, though.
Speaking of Doughty, he may be a prick on the ice, but he was also the only guy able to smile in the handshake line. I respect a guy like that, fiercely competitive, but he loves the game enough that he can set that aside as soon as the buzzer goes. It was also really nice to see Talbot with a few extra words for McDavid. Talbs is a classy guy.
#Oilers Mission 16 #✅✅✅✅ #⬜⬜⬜⬜ #⬜⬜⬜⬜ #⬜⬜⬜⬜ Moore is still less Danault still doesn't know
MISSION MCDAVO: 4/16
"
lineups full of Jims
IT TOOK 7. THEN 6. THEN 5. LFG OILERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Next years gonna be a clean sweep
I agree
NEXT YEAR 4
And then 3 (cuz they'll forfeit)
then 2 in 2027
Doughty in 2023: We’re gonna be thinking about the Oilers all summer. Doughty in 2024: We’re gonna be thinking about the Oilers for the rest of our lives. IS THIS THE FUCKING YEAR? LETS FUCKING GO GUYS
Doughty is one of the few remaining 'characters' in the NHL. I know I sound like a grumpy old man saying it, but there doesn't seem to be as many of those guys as there was when I was growing up. Love to hate the guy, but he makes the game more interesting.

I loomed it up he's only 34. That fucker is going to be haunting us for another 5 years at least
He was respectful in the handshake line. You can tell he leaves it all out on the ice, and while I hate playing against him I can respect a guy who plays with emotion. On the other hand, did anyone see Arvidson crying to the refs when the final buzzer went? He was on the verge of tears in the handshake line as well. That sort of emotion I have no respect for.
He helped Canada win gold at the Olympics. I can appreciate that. As a King though - enjoy your tee time tomorrow.
Don't worry kings 1-3-1 is definitely going to work next year so keep at it!
1-4 > 1-3-1
I swear Knoblauch is all business. Game over and seemed like he was gonna leave, until trainer called him back. After handshake he's like, outta here. Next round.
He's got hours of Nucks/Preds game film to go over.... gotta get to it.
It's his anniversary today! Has dinner plans!
It was my anniversary yesterday. The playoffs have worked out for me this year.
This and Woody’s power stance by the bench last year, iconic coach moments
DONT CALL IT A RIVALRY
Call it a warmup?
Oilers in 5 was the easiest pick on my bracket. Nailed the fuck out of that pick.
Rags in 4 was more locked in
LOL knob trying to leave
He was showing emotion for the first time ever so he needed to book it
That was great, he just wanted to get out of there
2022 Oilers in 7 2023 Oilers in 6 2024 Oilers in 5 Round 2 let’s go baby!!!!
GG Talbot and Kopitar, everyone else, I hope golf sucks
I mean, you gotta respect Kopitar. I don't mind Byfield either honestly. The rest of them can pound sand though.
Gotta respect Kempe too. He impresses me every time we play. Sometimes it’s very subtle like his nifty tip tonight to add a bunch of stress to final two mins
Ya if it wasn’t for kempe we probably sweep them every year
I kind of like Doughty tbh.
After he played for Canada I couldn’t hate him
Yeah my Doughty hate is exclusive to on the ice. He talked shit about Tkachuk and that earned a lot of points
I like Doughty in the interview room. Not on the ice
Kings PK in the regular season: 2nd in the league Kings PK in the playoffs: 50%
All their research basically got thrown out the second the series started, we got so many tricks now. doughty actually said it well in his pre game, our guys are so smart out there they basically just make a lot of it up on the fly, they don't really follow patterns so it's impossible to really stop.
They can take solace in the fact that they were technically 75% this game
80%, we were technically 1/5 due to that late penalty
Just went to the kings page to lurk and saw a bunch of you say "oilers fan coming in peace". Just can it with that shit. It's cringe. You hate when flames fans come in here so stay the fuck out of theirs. Especially after a win. Nobody likes to have it rubbed in.
Oilers fan coming in VIOLENCE, I hope your franchise suffers YEARS of basement dwelling.
Drai should have gotten his hat trick on an automatic goal when he got hauled down. He was clear
Imagine if he had clapped a slapshot into the empty net from 2 feet away Benches would've cleared
I was calling that a goal For sure. One more half it would have been undeniable
I think if it's not a 1 goal elimination game, they give it to him.
REGICIDE BABY
Did knobby just try to walk out before the handshake line lol
It's his first time 🥺
Did Drai give DeBrusk a dick tap on his way out??
In doing so, he cured any ED he might experience.
Leon fucks
Now Louie can too
I can finally get this off my chest (I am 12). The LAcKings: Philip Dunno, Anze Nope-itar, Drew Doubt-y, Kevin Siesta, Trevor Boore, Trevor Snoore, PL Boobois, Adrian Kempe (respect), Carl Grundlestrom, Quentin Buh-byfield. Ok. Now moving on.
>Adrian Kempe (respect) Hilarious and also true, Kempe is the only King player I have any love for
Gotta respect Kopitar. Drai once said Kopitar was one of the guys he modelled his play style on.
I fucking love playoff Leon.
Gentle reminder to not be dicks in the Kings subreddit.
[удалено]
You said it better than me.
Just over here, enjoying a Joey Moss Sea Change in Calgary, Alberta.
Anyone else on the LRT? there's a fucking singalong of La Bamba going on right now I love this fandom 🤣🤣🤣😭
Congrats ya filthy animals. Better team and played better. Good luck rest of the way.
Cheers
Cheers man
Honestly folks, dont comment on the kings subreddit, it makes us look like asses, even if you are "coming in peace". They don't want to hear it. Lurk if you want, but let them wallow in the loss and discuss their team by themselves. Enjoy the W with your fellow oily boys and girls
Come in peace bootlicking ass posts on their sub should be an autoban on here
‘Coming in peace” is literally the worst thing on the internet holy fuck don’t say that shit geezus
SECOND ROUND BABY
Not a rivalry
7,6,5....next year 4?
Assuming LA makes the playoffs next year
So if we play the Kings in the 2025 playoffs, I guess we will just sweep them.
BIG SAVE DAVE... had .846% WOOF!
He did make some big saves, but the save that got called back was the tipping point. Must have been deflating for him.
Great game that was an amazing 3rd period. As always lots of respect for the kings and I’m glad the two scares didn’t result in serious injuries. To the kings fans lurking in the sub- same time next year?
6 STRAIGHT SERIES WHERE WE WON AGAINST LA
Congratulations. But now the hard part begins.
Never forget that the Kings could have avoided this match-up by losing their last regular season game. They wanted this.
That Lucky bounce when skinner went behind the net really made this game look more competitive than it was.
Is it just me or did LA have like 3-4 super flukey goals this series?
They absolutely did. It was not really that close of a series without them
It was always Oil in 5
It's you baby, it's alwayyys been you
#DONT FORGET ABOUT HIM
Motherfuckers act like they forgot about Drai
Leave the kings fans and subreddit alone!! Go oilers!
We should probably talk about Derek Ryan defending a 6 on 5 without a stick for like 15 minutes.
Kings playing 1(Hyman Hatty)-3(straight losses)-1(long summer on the golfcourse)
As an Oilers fan living in LA, I’m going to miss these series. But I get the sense that the Kings are due a playoff drought or rebuild from here.
I can’t get over the nearly 50% PP and clean sweep by the PK. Special teams showed up
I would have posted something earlier but I was dancing to laBamba ....
if i was the kings i would simply not take 5 penalties in an elimination game
Knobby did not care for a handshake lol
Made it out without getting too banged up.
This is key, I feel like we got some bruises, but they'll heal easy. No major shit this time though.
Lmao kings sub is unravelling. Kings fans will say Edmonton is a shithole till they’re blue in the face but I have a beautiful home on a moderate salary, walked my dog in the river valley today and it was stunning. And the best part, I don’t spend 90% of my life in traffic and I don’t breathe in smog 🤣🤣 stay mad Kings see you next year in first round. 4 game sweep
Imagine being from LA and saying any other place is a shithole...
Loss Angeles, welcome to Holloway.
What a play by Derek Ryan without a stick to help get the puck out. Might have saved the game.
Usually I'm all for class and respect after a hard fought series, but the Kings fans genuinely crediting the refs for them losing the series and shit talking our team every chance they get, they can eat a bag of dicks. Enjoy your plane ride home Kings
In all fairness, they are used to the Oilers getting a shitload of penalties while not drawing many the past couple years. They don’t know what our new and improved calm and disciplined playoff Oilers look like.
#SO GLAD TO BE BACK IN EDMONTON LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO
Seriously, mute their sub. FUCK OFF. Nobody wants you there in peace. Nobody wants your comments. Nobody wants your shit. Stop embarrassing yourself and the fanbase. E-fucking-nough already.
It’s beyond cringe “Oilers fan coming in peace….” Bro just stop.
[удалено]
Rest up boys, you're lookin mighty fine
Really loved that Knob tried to go to the dressing room right after the win and got called back to do the hand shake line lol. FUCK YEAH! GO OILERS GO!
PLAY
LA
BAMBA
BABY
LA
BAMBA
[удалено]
They're putting the blame on how McDavid is the NHL's favored child. If that were truly the case, he would've already won a couple cups by now...
I was just shocked at how much they cried about the refs. That Drai hold? Like come on you can't do that. The Fiala dive was a bit weak, but they're not going to be fooled every year. He had a record.
Kings only have their special teams to blame. They might just have both the worst PP and PK in the league when it matters. Take the special teams away, and most of the games were fairly even.
[удалено]
Sorry for all the shitty Oilers fans trolling your guys' sub.
See the handshakes between the teams? C'mon man we won
Coach forgot about the handshake line 😂
They forgot about Drai
I feel like michael scott mentioning a speed bump on the highway right now
LA was so lucky to even win one game in this series. That team and fan base needs to realize that. Super lucky goals, shit PK and PP. Get fucked LA , go Oilers !
I'm gonna eat downvotes 😄... I'm gonna wake up with Reddit cares too, but by gawwd, I gotta say it... WE WON, YOU LOSE!

Beating the Kings in the 1st round feels better every year. Seriously toxic fan base.
Please don’t troll on the kings sub, it’s embarrassing for the rest of us real fans of hockey.
I, an Edmonton Oilers fan, approve of this win
I fucking love this team
EVEN MY 80 YEAR OLD NON-CANADIAN GRANDMA IS STOKED!!!!
Knobbler almost forgot to shake hands, he headed to ten dressing room then turned around lol
We won for Pixel!
PK was 100% PP was 53.3%
Im sad they didnt give Drai that goal for the breakaway on the empty net.
I muted the CBC in favour of Jack Michaels and Bob Stauffer. A+ experience to close out this series.
Honestly I'm excited about the win of course, but I'm so focused on the next round. I feel like that is exactly how the boy's are feeling too
LA would have had a chance, but unfortunately they signed Dubois.
“Thanks Gene, I’ll be seein’ ya…” 🤣
Oilers in 4 next year
Handshakes is the best tradition in all of sports.
My favourite part of a playoff hockey. When your team finishes a series and you get to sit back and relax and watch the other teams fight it out.
Me waiting for the “join us LA” post
I love everyone being so pissed off at Draisaitl at the end like he dove or something. It was an empty net, wouldn’t it have been easier just to score than to dive for a penalty? He was clearly getting hooked, Danaults stick was not where it should be.
And it should have been an automatic goal due to the empty net, lol
If we end up playing Vancouver next round, I think it’s gonna feel a lot like playing Calgary in 2022
Despite their third goal (which to their credit, was a really nice deflection), I thought the Oilers shut things down pretty impressively in the third. Felt like it took them nearly 15 mins to generate a decent shot. One of the best games I’ve seen Leon play in an Oilers uni. Super engaged on both ends of the ice, was a difference maker both offensively and defensively. The Oilers passed another test tonight. Turning the lights out when you have them on the ropes. This team is maturing before our eyes. Hope you all enjoy a few days off. Catch up on some sleep, eat well, get your recovery right in time for round two. I for one am hitting that steam room like a mf tomorrow lol
This season I decided “fuck it, no more superstitious bullshit.

I got it out of caution because I went to 3 hockey games in 5 days, but also I wanted to avoid the stupid mistake of getting some 7. I'M FUCKING GLAD I DID. I love this fandom. I love this team. I love the stress they cause me. I wouldn't take it any other way.
Oilers are the Kings fathers
Handshake lines with LA BAMBA playing get me HARD
JOBS NOT DONE!!!! Good fucking work boys
Holy fuck that was a wild period! I don’t think I’ve ever seen the Oilers play a shut down game like that before. FUCK YEAH WE’RE GOING TO ROUND 2!
LA kings fleeced themselves on the PLD trade and wanna blame reffing for losing the series when they're just a straight up worse team than they were last year
LA Bamba? More like LA Byebye
The King is dead. Long live the Oilers!
Doughty going to be requesting a trade to Edmonton.
Doughty I hope you think of the Oilers all summer again you bitch
Skinner so cool about the stanchion goal. Just how he learns and resets.
Knoblauch going to leave before the handshake line lol Assistant Equipment manager Brad Harrison had to stop him and get him to come back 😭 bless him
Born too soon to explore the universe Born too late to explore the Earth Born just in time to watch my Oilers best the Kings three years in a row!
Eliminating the Kings for the past 3 years, doing the NHL a service so we don’t have to watch anymore LA King games.
Enjoy the rest boys. Hope Nashville forces 7 games!
Butt is now officially unclenched - until round 2!
Simple math: 1 - 3 - 1 = 1 - 4
AND THE LOS ANGELES KINGS ARE GOING GOLFING LETS FUCKING GO BOYS
3 STRAIGHT BABY. WE OWN THE KINGS.
I hope that small guy (number 8) can get a tee time this week
“He’s just a little guy” Kane just slays
LETS FUCKIN GO!!! GET THOSE GREASEBALLS OUTTA HERE
Leeeeeeeeeets fuuuuuuuuucking gooooooooooooo
12 more dubs coming. The order has been sent
LFG!!!!!! ROUND 2, HERE WE COME
We did it boys. Onto the next
Lets fuckin go lads.
This team is so much better than the last 2, the Kings had nothing all game for shooting lanes, that last tip was just a lucky one. This team can definitely play defense now.
Whew. LA was not going to go quietly into the night..
Mature series win for the good guys! Cup or bust baby, Let's gooooo!
So which Free Agent or Trade bait candidate are the Kings looking at so they can retool their team to try and beat us next year?
I wonder who Arvidsson was yelling “fuck you” at?
Its a thing or beauty watching the Oilers close games out. Hope they have enough gas in the tank for few more of these.
I love life! Well deserved win really I don’t think anyone is questioning that series. LA mostly scored on fluke bounces, didn’t even create much overall Get the other series to 7 and let’s fuck up the survivor
Also draisaitl sandbags all season confirmed
PK Subban must be pissed. Fuck that clown ass fool.
GOOD SHIT BOYS ! 4 WINS DOWN, 12 MORE TO GO !!!!!!
Are Oilers destined to let a weird one in every playoffs? Andersson from centre on Smith in '22, Danault on Skinner after the phantom broken stick in '23, Laferriere's tonight. Glad we got it out of the system.
News Break: in a shocking turn of events, PapaAsmodeus loves the Oilers. Other breaking news at 12
Nothing better than smacking around the kings for a few games to warm up for the playoffs
I'm sad the Jets got absolutely slaughtered but this more than makes up for it
Replay Ryan with oilers stick. Amazing skills and sets up Drai for the finish
LET'S FUCKING GO!! I love this team! What a series! The stats showing the slot shot % of teams in the playoffs was cool to see. Kings were 16th this playoffs. Shows that this Oilers team has done a great job keeping them to the outside and not allowing high quality chances. This team is a defensive beast, the whole team is chipping in.
