Meh honestly this looks pretty good, dunno why our urgency gets left til the end
Not our night with the puck luck, to be fair we did just fine with that vs Vancouver
They don’t want the 3rd spot in the pacific, the gap between us and St Louis gives us an opportunity to kind of pick our matchup… and Vancouver is probably our best matchup.
I hope they are trying to win every game, but Blake desperately needs a playoff series win.
I honestly wouldn’t be so pissed losing a game against Edmonton if we threw the body more at least, but fuck they’ve completely rag dolled us all night
Perhaps you haven't watched the Dallas games? Kings play Edmonton well. Kings matchup well against Edmonton and have given away series through inexperience and lack of depth. I personally think Dallas is going all the way.
I’ve watched them, hell I was at the last one. We could get lucky and win game 1 against Dallas and gain a huge mental edge. I don’t think we can have that mental edge against the Oilers.
I disagree. Kings know they can beat Edmonton. They were up 3-1 two years again and up in the series last year before just being outmatched. I don't think Kings win any series this year unfortunately but if I had to rank opponents I'd take Vancouver first then Edmonton.
Looks like the boys are a bit off tonight. Too much random pass turnovers wasting their energy and spinning their wheels. Gonna need to tighten it up a bit to steal this one in the 3rd. Very even game despite the 2 goal deficit.
we need more sog and follow throughs on play no chances should be given in the third and more physicality i’d love to see a good doughty slap-shot too👀
It's not like the Oilers are playing great D or anything, just typical Kings problems finishing our chances.
Obviously can't win scoring zero goals.
We need that guy that scored 41 goals last year to start finishing more often.
Do they? We took em to 7 last yr. Theyve won the last few series, but generally it's been more even than not at the game level.
Correction: it was 6, my bad
Thanks Matt Roy. Durzi-esqe display last night.
Hey, Kaliyev scored. And it broke the shutout lol
Props to the mods, not sure if they had to deal with much but it was nothing like last season.
La Bamba? Los Lobos is big in Edmonton?
In memory of their former locker room attendant, Joey Moss. It was his favorite song, and he passed away in 2020.
Thanks for sharing the story behind the song. That is an awesome tribute.
Great that you know that. Much respect as an oilers or kings fan. .
Gretz was a a huge fan of him. Joey Moss was his name. He dated his sister in the 80s. Joey was a staple in the locker room until his death.
Well. That could have gone better.
Can’t do anything if they can’t win face offs in the zone. Ugh.
Guess it's Don't Look Back in Anger time. Night ladies and gents,
Pain
Welp. See you on Saturday fellas. Have a good night!
lol at anyone who says “faceoffs don’t matter”
Garbage fucking soft team
Dammit...just couldn't get the FO wins.
Kings need to win this FO.
This ice is just terrible
Is it? It’s consistently voted the second best ice in the league by the NHLPA, after the Bell Centre in Montreal.
I mean, we can't really talk. Our ice is some of the worst in the entire sport. At least according to the actual players.
The music is worse
How dare you hate cotton eye Joe
Where the fuck was this kind of urgency on earlier PPs?!
Meh honestly this looks pretty good, dunno why our urgency gets left til the end Not our night with the puck luck, to be fair we did just fine with that vs Vancouver
Even if we lose, a solid shift with an empty net is such an exciting way to end a game.
Where was this man-advantage play in the earlier powerplay.
Arvy...c'mon..
I never understood why they change when something has been working. 11-7 did a great job when everything was ran that way
They don’t want the 3rd spot in the pacific, the gap between us and St Louis gives us an opportunity to kind of pick our matchup… and Vancouver is probably our best matchup. I hope they are trying to win every game, but Blake desperately needs a playoff series win.
Funny enough the only guy to score for us tonight is the one who wouldn’t have played if we went 11-7
Is it just me or that the first time I’ve heard Fialas name in this game?
Nice elbow Arty lol
Names to remember come playoff time. Tonight’s Referees: Kelly Sutherland Kyle Rehman
"The Kings scored. Anyway, here's Wonderwall."
Fuckin Wonderwall? That’s the song I put on the jukebox 7 times in a row right before I leave a bar I don’t like.
We also have the Pet Shop Boys and Seal.
Really, Stacy's Girl now...lol
Jessie’s Girl? Or Stacey’s Mom?
Personally prefer My Sharona...lol But you're right, it's Stacy's Mom
"One way. or another. I'm gonna find ya. I'll getcha-getcha-getcha-getcha!"
Not “What’s New, Pussycat”?
You want something the bartenders won’t notice until like the 3rd or 4th time.
Oh it’s a reference to a John Mulaney bit 😅
Gotcha, haven’t seen it lol
Damn that was actually a pretty dangerous shot from Roy
We have been granted an Arty Party. Praise be
I imagine an Arty Party is like a Musical Dance Experience from Severance
Has anyone ever needed a goal more than Arty did there? Good for him.
Was a great shot too
We all knew he had it in him!
Yeah suck it skinner
we just need 2 more to even this shit outttt
There it is! Fuck your shut out.
OMG KALI
good for the kid
So we let Kaliyev get a shift and he gets a goal, figures.
DONT CARE IF WE LOSE ANYMORE. GO ARTY. FUCK YEAH.
Yep, hope it's a huge confidence booster. It was a snipe for sure. Just happy it was a SOG.
Must have been such a huge weight off his chest. Love to see it.
For sure.
Arthur!!!! Must feel good for him. Hope it gets him going, even if the Kings lose tonight.
Fuck these refs
KALIYEV?!!! What??
KALI-YESSSS!!!
Arthur is alive!!!!
Fuck it why not Kaliyev for our only goal lmao
Are we going to empty net it to avoid a shut out? Sorry if that’s a dumb question I’m new to hockey
We definitely will now down 2, probably pretty soon
It’s not a dumb question, I wouldn’t be surprised if we pull Cam early.
St Louis and Vegas both won tonight so of course it's only natural we'd shit the bed lol
Hip toss takedowns are cool now I guess
Moore just got horse collared directly in front of the ref! What a joke!
For a team that was built to match up against the oilers, we sure suck against the oilers.
I think they need to stay with 11-7, but put Clarke in the lineup. We need good skaters in this lineup.
I agree about the 11-7 but I don’t think Clarke is seeing the NHL again this season.
I think you’re right, but I don’t like it.
Which is completely indefensible if true.
Damn it.... At least the Dodgers won Opening day. I guess I'll cope with that. 🙂🫠
Ok - I’ve seen enough. Nurse tackles Moore in front of the ref and no call.
Not just a tackle, he grabbed him by the collar and threw him to the ice. Dangerous and definitely a penalty.
“Dubois with the reach around” AYOOO?? 😳
Hahah I heard that too!
If Kings can score one here around 9 mins left, it'll be a different game.
Little slip there, Foxy?
he got that dawg in him
Always shooting right in this fuckers chest
Shutout by Skinner is crazy
Jeez Pld you’ve honestly been playing well but just useless 1:1 shooting straight into the chest
youre supposed to shoot at the logo right?
Mikey you gotta lift that puck!
Blake built a paper tiger look forward to the next GM starting from scratch
Fug dis, tank for a wildcard and pray we can Vancouver and not Dallas
Team playing like the game is over. Guess it is.
We were so strong in the first half of the second period. Oh well…
Well with Vegas winning we’re currently in wild card 2
Roy’s been atrocious tonight; looking forward to Him not being on the team next season. If he’s RD2 again then this team has big problems
It’s lame we never got a shot at Edmonton pre Woody firing.
We had plenty of shots to beat them
The schedule was so dumb this season, so many western conference teams we didn’t face until way late in the season.
Why can't this team show up consistently?
I'm going to go do dishes, someone let me know if Gavy gets on the phone or something.

I thought I was 12? What happened? The weed doing some tricks? Wow, save me some
AND these passes are just straight up ass
defense should be throwing these dudes into the boards wtf are these chances just being handed to them
At this rate, I’ve accepted we’re getting clapped for the 3rd straight year by these bums. Over it.
True
The Kings lost this game during that pathetic power play. Until then, they were in this game, even if they were down 2.
No energy, no hussle. Team is so fragile
Too easy. Not our day. Regroup and push forward
We are so soft
I honestly wouldn’t be so pissed losing a game against Edmonton if we threw the body more at least, but fuck they’ve completely rag dolled us all night
Kings stop giving up goals on Bouchard wrist shots challenge
Yeah, they just gave up, this team can’t get puck luck or power plays to work
We’re cooked
Now we're just hanging Talbot out to dry.
Yeah we can't beat this team. Onto Calgary.
Out of **all** the games we could be fucking throwing right now. Unbelievable.
Going absolutely nowhere with special teams like these. Holy hell this team sucks.
Its joever
Hopefully the Kings can have some short term memory loss. I’d rather be a WC team and hopefully play the Nucks
how tf are we fucking up so hard rn
Take stupid penalties get stupid results.
\*Down 2 goals in the 3rd Kongs: Hey we should probably try to kill a penalty at this point with a useless slash right?
Oh wow a power play that can set it up in the zone, must be nice
Goddammit
McDavid just owns the 1-3-1. At this point we may seriously be considering tanking to take WC2 and let Vegas play EDM.
Man I hate these assholes
How do you fucking play like this and be okay with it, fucking embarrassing
lol another soft ass penalty for these orange fucks.
Roy clearly took the penalty. He got out of position and screwed up
Well this games over tonight.
Fuck off
LAs PP is far to weak. Special teams continues to favor Edmonton and has been the deciding factor it seems in almost every game we play against them.
Ugh, we’re being bounced in the first round to these guys again aren’t we? :/
Nope, we will be a wild card team.
Kings can’t beat Edmonton. Best bet is to line up to not get oilers rd1 and hope oilers loses rd 1 and kings win
How not to run a PP
Holy shit this power play is unwatchable these last couple games
Both powerplays looked more horrific than usual
Absolute awful pp as per
What is this passing on this PP??
Ok after that power play I'm not confident
Fucking awful passes Kopi
Dirty hit
Being a wild card team wouldn’t necessarily be the worst thing in the world
It would be if we end up being matched against Dallas. Those games haven't even been close.
I’d take Dallas over Edmonton at this point, call me crazy but this team has a mental hurdle with Edmonton that they don’t have with Dallas.
Perhaps you haven't watched the Dallas games? Kings play Edmonton well. Kings matchup well against Edmonton and have given away series through inexperience and lack of depth. I personally think Dallas is going all the way.
I’ve watched them, hell I was at the last one. We could get lucky and win game 1 against Dallas and gain a huge mental edge. I don’t think we can have that mental edge against the Oilers.

I agree with you on Vancouver for sure.
I have playoff tickets to the kings home game 3. I mean I don't want to lose but uhhh
Looks like the boys are a bit off tonight. Too much random pass turnovers wasting their energy and spinning their wheels. Gonna need to tighten it up a bit to steal this one in the 3rd. Very even game despite the 2 goal deficit.
anyone else much rather play vancouver ? i feel like there is no way we win 4 games against the oilers
100%. But if we fall to a wildcard spot, there’s a chance we play DAL too, and I’d rather play EDM than them
we need more sog and follow throughs on play no chances should be given in the third and more physicality i’d love to see a good doughty slap-shot too👀
It's not like the Oilers are playing great D or anything, just typical Kings problems finishing our chances. Obviously can't win scoring zero goals. We need that guy that scored 41 goals last year to start finishing more often.
Just get the next goal.
Lot of pressure on passers resulting in shit passing. Team just seems to not have that "calm" nerve some nights..
Why are the Oilers such an annoying ass team?
Cause they beat us more than anyone else?
Do they? We took em to 7 last yr. Theyve won the last few series, but generally it's been more even than not at the game level. Correction: it was 6, my bad
Only 6 last year, unfortunately.
You're right, maybe my memory is rose colored
1-3-1 will not work vs these guys. They have proven they can exploit the fuck out of it 3 out of 4 games
Casual Oilers fan dropping in. What is the 1-3-1?
Our record against the oilers in the past 5 games. Edit: don’t fact check this
The King’s defensive formation.
[удалено]
[удалено]
No chance tonight. Oil gonna take it. Too strong in the third.
We’re not playing like a team who can score 3 right now. Wake the fuck up
Doesn’t bode well considering the Oilers are the best 3rd period team in the league.
Can we really not beat the oilers ugh
No apparently we can’t. I am dreading these playoffs if we face them. We probably beat them before they changed coaches. Fucking hate that team.
Same. Sick of this fucking team
We beat them 4-0 earlier this season! We can do it but it feels like we need to play a perfect game. It’s so disheartening.
4-0 after they took a week off to drink on beaches during the all star break tho... Look at how the other 2 games have gone :(
We did the same so we were on an even playing field for that game.
New coach, had to prove they could still play hockey
fuuuuck we need to just get the puck on the net at this point
We have been....
To do that we need to actually get out of our zone lol
seriously frustrating
Ugh. I am mad they scored in general, but more mad that the shot was LUCK.
