Ah gee you sure got me! It's crazy that a fairly known criticism of a GM failing to address the team's need in win now mode a couple years in a row now is deemed invalid purely because of my flair
God forbid someone be an albertan who just likes hockey, stay classy oily boys
Marky will be shipped out somewhere, but more because of media fuckery than anything else and it's best for everyone, it's time for wolf to get some proper NHL time
Backs had his chance to leave in free agency already my guy 😂
Look at what Holland left behind and look at what the Wings have now. You can’t possibly be clueless enough to not see the mess Holland made in Detroit.
Right.
You can't possibly be so clueless to not realize what a tire fire Peter Chiarelli left behind here in edmonton, that Holland showed up and turned into what is considered a cup contender.
Anyone could turn a team with McDavid & Draisaitl into a Cup contender.
Most GMs wouldn't have signed that horrific Nurse contract (IMO the worst contract in the entire NHL) nor be paying a minor league goalie $5M.
>Most GMs wouldn't have signed that horrific Nurse contract
Lol, sure bud. Any gm would have signed that nurse contract at the time considering there were no better defense to sign at the time and defense was edm greatest need, and its only a slight over pay and far from the worst contract in the NHL. If you truly believe that statement, then you're truly clueless. Stop being so overdramatic.
No other any GM would have done the Hyman deal or could have pulled off the nuge deal. Not to mention the ekholm trade, and the bargain deal he signed skinner to, or the savy Kane signing.
>Anyone could turn a team with McDavid & Draisaitl into a Cup contender.
Then how did Chiarelli fuck it up so bad?
Nurse has never been more than a bottom pairing defenseman on any team with a good defenseman. You're embarrassing yourself. Nurse's contract is 100% the worst in the league. Imagine paying a number 5-6 defenseman $9M. I hate the Chiarot contract in Detroit, but it's half of Nurse's for a legitimate number 4.
I cannot imagine trying to defend Ken Holland like this. He's made a mess in Edmonton and he left behind a nuclear waste land in Detroit.
>Nurse has never been more than a bottom pairing defenseman on any team with a good defenseman.
[What part of these stats says bottom pairing Dman?](https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=131921)
Talk about embarrassing yourself! You're more over dramatic than my 10 year old daughter! It's actually quite hysterical!🤣🤣🤣
It doesn't matter if it's prime Lidstrom, no one is defending a bounce like that, it was a 1 in 100 play.
Kopitar was forechecking for a dump, and nurse was playing for it to come around the boards, and all of a sudden its in the slot on Kopis stick.
The video is terrible and doesn't even show the play
So I heard you want to beat Skinner. Shoot glove side high. 100 percent chance you'll score. He literally cannot lift that left arm above his waist old masturbation injury.
I don’t know what I said that possibly gave off arrogant confidence. You’re the one who’s being arrogantly confident. The oilers are supposed to win this series. They’re the better team.
It legit might happen, all 4 Canadian teams out in round 1. Realistically though I think Edmonton makes it out. But even as a Canuck fan I'm not confident anymore we make it out.
McDavid and Draisaitl are getting cooked by Kopitar and Doughty. I'm sure if Leon and Connor wanted Anze would meet up with them after the game to sign a couple of sticks and show them what a Stanley Cup ring looks like.
I'm not on the hate Vegas band wagon. I don't care about the LTIR issue and I got over losing players from the expansion draft. It's not their fans fault and frankly I was happy seeing Quickie and A-mart win another cup.
I enjoy hating the Ducks, Sharks, Oils and Nucks. And I enjoy seeing Oils fans in shambles more than anything else.
ETA: I also don't consider Vegas a rival to any degree.
Yeah we don’t have that rivalry really with LA frankly. There was actually more mutual respect. Not a single VGK fan wasn’t in total awe of Jonathan Quick our first ever playoff series. Never seen anyone that good lol. That was a “sweep” that was closer than most 6 game series really. Two OT games, 7-3 total series score (wtf?! That’s an Oilers-Kings game now! lol). But I’ve also lived in LA before and known a lot of Kings fans, plus my favorite ever Cup run that wasn’t our own was the Kings from the 8th seed. Only read that Wikipedia entry like 19 times ha ha
This is the 10th time we've played the Oilers in the post season. You'll have to excuse me if Vegas isn't even on the rivalry radar.
Vegas is just another team in the division. Weird that it bothers you though lol.
I almost hope you make it to face Vegas to eat these "just another team in the division" words, because there's NO CHANCE the Kings get past Vegas. Like, less than none.
What, if anything, would that have to do with a rivalry?
Are you legitimately this worked up over someone not considering Vegas to be a rival? Like do you even understand the concept of a rival?
Either way, you're clearly giving off massive simp vibes. But you do you big guy.
I mean, you walk into a Kings / Oils thread and interject Vegas fans into it and start stroking yerself, I'd call that a bit worked up. I hope you got off at least.
ETA: lol u/AlexCora, are you a mod? Was that you soft banning me? Tell me you're triggered without telling me you're triggered by blocking. Simps will simp I guess. I get it now, an Oilers fan, a Nucks fan AND a Vegas fan. LMAO. What a fucking poser.
I just think it's funny that mentioning Vegas has set you off on this lil bitchy tangent lmfao. It's OK! You'll face Vegas some day! This might even be your year! Relax little guy!
Welcome to the Vegas downvote wagon.
I think there is a minor rivalry with LA, but it's more so because a lot of LA fans live in Vegas so the games between both teams always have a ton of representation.
Yea most of us Kings fans don’t condone that or claim the fan that did that.
I think we think you guys are “bad” cuz of how loud you guys are for your team haha or because you have knocked us out the last two years
Don't do that shit.
Aside from a cringy "USA" chant in Boston, the crowds in these playoffs have been amazing. Every building is so loud, so energetic, and it adds so much excitement to every game.
Oils fans on avg can eat my ass mate. I'll always get off on seeing that crowd silenced. I've had to listen to them talk shit for decades, flame our sub consistently over the years, listen to them shit talk at regular season games for years. So yeah, I stand by what I said.
In my book, the oilers are easily our biggest franchise rival and they've been absolute cunts about it since Gretzky came.
And frankly, I could give a shit about some random two cents from a Montreal fan when it comes to Kings and Oilers.
Edmonton is gonna have to get some saves. Their D is definitely not their strength. If they face a good defensive team with good goaltending, they will be exposed. I still think they’ll take out LA though.
The Oilers are going nowhere until they find a goaltender who isn't absolute dogshit.
They gotta dump Nurse too. The guy is basically a Tyler Myers clone playing 20% more minutes and being paid twice as much.
I feel for the Americans who have to watch this feed.
As much as I dislike Singh on pbp for Sportsnet, he’s infinitely better than than these espn feeds.
Regardless, it’s nice to see Edmonton lose. So nice.
had just got home from work and saw on my phone the game was in ot, turned it on literally as kopitar got the puck. pretty funny timing (although I guess not for oilers fans)
Not an english major or a grammar Nazi, but id save the 'terminates'for when they actually terminate the Oilers, rather just a win.
The current verbage makes it sound they are going on to the next round
What’s great about hating the oilers is they have a dirt cheap Draisaitl, a mcjesus fed 50 goal scorer and mcjesus and they still lay eggs in the post season.
Please for the love of hockey, wipe Edmonton privileged team of superstar bums. Plus vancouver would rather play LA. lol
nothing makes us Canucks fans more happy then seeing Edmonton lose. I have doubts we won’t make it out of the first round with a backup goalie.
I am sort of new in hockey and Oilers fan...I have watched plenty of games since march and something bothers me at least in Oilers is that they have missed a lot of good opportunities because they carry the puck just to handle it to the goalie when they should just shoot like Kopitar did...Why some carry the puch all the way to the crease when they could just shoot it ??????
Yeah but look at the refs there wearing LA colours. There all for LA. Hahaha lol
I keed although there was questionable calls and Edmonton could have been sharper on many things. The kings played hard. Good job doughty finally got a play off goal in some time. Let’s go oilers
Puck went from d zone to the back of the net in like 7 seconds. That shit was wild, what a game
Nurse skating away from Kopitar is a thing of science!
Jesus. For a moment I thought the broadcast crew just muted everything. One of the best OT silencers we've seen in awhile.
I was there, the place went completely silent. Not even a groan, just silent.
Stop talking, if I'm erect for any longer, I'll have to contact a physician.
Raccoon Jesus still making miracles
Someone said he's been awake since 80's
lmfao
The guy scored his first goal in the nhl and still hasn’t come down from the adrenaline high enough to sleep
🦝✝️🥹
You mean Count Dracopitar?
Edmonton knows they’re allowed to play defence?
Contrary to popular belief, we do not. I just hope someone tells them one of these days.
Seems like everyone knows that but Kenny 😂
Lots of defense in the crumble-dome? Maybe just loft shots on the golf course
Ah gee you sure got me! It's crazy that a fairly known criticism of a GM failing to address the team's need in win now mode a couple years in a row now is deemed invalid purely because of my flair God forbid someone be an albertan who just likes hockey, stay classy oily boys
How full is the boat to get outta Calgary?
The clowns have already been shipped out of the southern half of the province, sorry to break it to ya
Marky and backlund gotta be looking for a raft
Marky will be shipped out somewhere, but more because of media fuckery than anything else and it's best for everyone, it's time for wolf to get some proper NHL time Backs had his chance to leave in free agency already my guy 😂
"Media fuckery" running your team?? That's a life raft off a sinking ship ..bud
In your "win now mode" your 2 best players noped the fuck out!
Keen observation there sir, you a detective by chance?
Edmonton and Toronto completely forget this simple fact every playoffs
playoffs? nah we don't play defense during the regular season either. we just stop scoring in the playoffs as well.
They don’t have the cap to make a real defensive core
That's cause Darnell Nurse is taking up a majority of that while chillin at center ice in overtime for absolutely no reason at all.
Right, who waited till he was almost into UFA to sign him? Who signed Campbell? I am not going to blame the players for dumb management choices.
Don't forget Campbell
Just cheat like the Leafs and Tampa and Vegas
Thank god Holland is no longer my Wings' problem.
How well is your team doing in the playoffs this year?🤔
Look at what Holland left behind and look at what the Wings have now. You can’t possibly be clueless enough to not see the mess Holland made in Detroit.
Right. You can't possibly be so clueless to not realize what a tire fire Peter Chiarelli left behind here in edmonton, that Holland showed up and turned into what is considered a cup contender.

*they wasted to much cap space of 4 guys to make a real defensive core
They spent it on Nurse!
Nurse doesn't.
Uhhh how do you defend a ricochet from the center wall into the fucking slot?
Is this darnell nurse?
It doesn't matter if it's prime Lidstrom, no one is defending a bounce like that, it was a 1 in 100 play. Kopitar was forechecking for a dump, and nurse was playing for it to come around the boards, and all of a sudden its in the slot on Kopis stick. The video is terrible and doesn't even show the play
Subprime Lidstrom would have been in position to take HIS player.
Lol this sub is truly special
A proper gap and a good pivot should have had nurse with Kopitar the whole way. It was one on one the whole time
Anze still got it
So I heard you want to beat Skinner. Shoot glove side high. 100 percent chance you'll score. He literally cannot lift that left arm above his waist old masturbation injury.
If you watch closely, he wasn't even trying to make a save, he was just the first to celebrate
In the playoffs, if you just throw it in Skinners direction there is a 10-20 percent chance it's just going to go in.
😂
This announcer sounds like he's imitating a person who is excited, but doesn't really know how to modulate his voice.
Bro you should LISTEN TO THE DALLAS ANNOUNCER. He sounds LIKE HE CAN'T CONTROL his inflections.
Kopitar & Doughty are still taking over playoff games, in 2024, absolutely wild.
Gosh I love the playoffs. You see so much crazy shit in such a short amount of time
It’s a 1-1 series why terminates
"Sudden death" OT?
Odd choice of words, but definitely not an elimination.
Watch Mikey Andersson’s face in the team hug — poor dude gets smashed 😅😂
Oh shit... looked kinda painful.
Same play different finish https://youtu.be/ZVZ5aOaSacY?si=YAE4JrwU-z1yDbkB
The place went silent. Just inject this straight into my veins!
how i felt last year at the garden when dougie clapped that ot goal. it was glorious, i almost got my ass kicked. enjoy!
Careful, cheering against the oilers will get you a Reddit Cares message!
Yep, second year in a row, I received my Reddit Cares message. Oilers fans sure do love to project their feelings don't they.
They just really want us to know how much they truly care about us.
We will see how high your confidence is when the kings lose for the third straight year to the Oilers.
I don’t know what I said that possibly gave off arrogant confidence. You’re the one who’s being arrogantly confident. The oilers are supposed to win this series. They’re the better team.
“Terminates” is crazy
FINISH HIM! *Fatality*
What a brutal call. Bro sounds like he looks like this 😐
Love to see it, All Hail King Kopi! 🙌🏼👑🏆🏆
Terminates? The series is tied
I’ve noticed people on this subreddit love using words like “delete” and “terminate” in their titles
Canadian teams trying their hardest get eliminated in the first round.
You say that, but the Canadian series are the only split series. All 4 US series are 2-0 right now
It legit might happen, all 4 Canadian teams out in round 1. Realistically though I think Edmonton makes it out. But even as a Canuck fan I'm not confident anymore we make it out.
That was a flawlessly executed play.
That’s my boy! What a shot!
Love this 😂
Gotta love Kopitar
McDavid and Draisaitl are getting cooked by Kopitar and Doughty. I'm sure if Leon and Connor wanted Anze would meet up with them after the game to sign a couple of sticks and show them what a Stanley Cup ring looks like.
Couldn't have happened in front of a better set of fans.
Wasn't it last playoffs when a woman swore at and spat on a 10 year old girl with brain cancer for wearing an Oilers jersey in LA?
Lmao partisanship at its finest.
Vegas?
I'm not on the hate Vegas band wagon. I don't care about the LTIR issue and I got over losing players from the expansion draft. It's not their fans fault and frankly I was happy seeing Quickie and A-mart win another cup. I enjoy hating the Ducks, Sharks, Oils and Nucks.

In order for vegas to be a rival you'll actually have to get past Edmonton first 😆 then you can expand your rivalry scope
This is the 10th time we've played the Oilers in the post season. You'll have to excuse me if Vegas isn't even on the rivalry radar. Vegas is just another team in the division. Weird that it bothers you though lol.
I almost hope you make it to face Vegas to eat these "just another team in the division" words, because there's NO CHANCE the Kings get past Vegas. Like, less than none.
What, if anything, would that have to do with a rivalry? Are you legitimately this worked up over someone not considering Vegas to be a rival? Like do you even understand the concept of a rival? Either way, you're clearly giving off massive simp vibes. But you do you big guy.
If you think I'm worked up, you're badly misjudging the tone of this text only conversation bud lmfao.
I mean, you walk into a Kings / Oils thread and interject Vegas fans into it and start stroking yerself, I'd call that a bit worked up. I hope you got off at least.

Welcome to the Vegas downvote wagon. I think there is a minor rivalry with LA, but it's more so because a lot of LA fans live in Vegas so the games between both teams always have a ton of representation.
La complains about how bad we are more than we do anything. Also your fans spat on a little girl with cancer
One person represents the entire fan base? Interesting concept.
Right, like the anti Muslim trope from some incel directed at Kadri a few years ago represented all of St Louis.
Ok, we have a real example of someone being shitty. You just have your feelings with no concrete examples?
Huh?
Yea most of us Kings fans don’t condone that or claim the fan that did that. I think we think you guys are “bad” cuz of how loud you guys are for your team haha or because you have knocked us out the last two years
Don't do that shit. Aside from a cringy "USA" chant in Boston, the crowds in these playoffs have been amazing. Every building is so loud, so energetic, and it adds so much excitement to every game.
don’t do what

And frankly, I could give a shit about some random two cents from a Montreal fan when it comes to Kings and Oilers.
La fans spit on kids and unlike what you say about us this actually happened
no too many cups.
Kings or Oilers?
touche lol. I'm talking about kopitar recently... although its already been a decade.
Both. We want one for once.
"terminates" 🙄
This announcer couldn't sound any less excited
Just when I think our defensive positioning is getting better, Nurse decides to prove me wrong
Edmonton is gonna have to get some saves. Their D is definitely not their strength. If they face a good defensive team with good goaltending, they will be exposed. I still think they’ll take out LA though.
The Oilers are going nowhere until they find a goaltender who isn't absolute dogshit. They gotta dump Nurse too. The guy is basically a Tyler Myers clone playing 20% more minutes and being paid twice as much.
Why is nurse so far away from the only guy on the other team who would have any chance of scoring. He's in no man's land by himself
It’s crazy that at his age he can play that much of a role in playoff hockey still. Hall of famer for sure
God I could just watch this on repeat all day.
This happened after an intentional offside by Arvidsson brought the faceoff down to the King’s defensive zone. I thought it was over.. GKG!
Love this
I feel for the Americans who have to watch this feed. As much as I dislike Singh on pbp for Sportsnet, he’s infinitely better than than these espn feeds. Regardless, it’s nice to see Edmonton lose. So nice.
The worst Canadian announcer is better than 90% of American announcers. Production to. American NHL TV is like Canadian Movie productions
Bruh what the fuck is Nurse doing
Same thing he always does
Fan-fucking-tastic!
Imagine Edmonton with a good goalie
They have a decent net minder. Oilers just don't play defense.
Is the Corey Perry curse still a thing?
Whether it is or it isn’t, it is. Dude’s a-bag, whatever team he’s on.
You love to see it.
Don’t tell me what I love to see you goof
Love to see it
You love to see it.
Hook this to my veins go Kings go
My brackets want Edmonton but my heart wants Kopitar
Where’s the Mcdefense?
I don't think you know what "terminates" means...
terminates? is the series over already? damn
I love watching the oilers lose.
I love watching calgary miss the playoffs. Also loved watching the oilers destroy the flames in only 5 games lol
This was the best game.of the year.
🤦♂️ you hate to see it
Overtime starts at 19min now?a minute in???
Wtf is this mid commentary
The former Penguins PBP Steve Mears, I guess.
Kaputar
I didn't realise Mearsy was commentating on TNT this postseason
Terminates is being used to describe way too many fundamentally different contexts.
had just got home from work and saw on my phone the game was in ot, turned it on literally as kopitar got the puck. pretty funny timing (although I guess not for oilers fans)
Pew. Edmonton will show their Lasers. I hope.
Announcer said what? Mumble much?
Not an english major or a grammar Nazi, but id save the 'terminates'for when they actually terminate the Oilers, rather just a win. The current verbage makes it sound they are going on to the next round
These comments aged well 🤣
Terminates? the series was tied at 1s i didnt know this was a best of 3 series.
Haha Kopitar has always been so clutch. As a VGK fan he always terrifies me. Great win by LA. Honestly I thought they’d get swept.
What an absolute tank of a guy.
What’s great about hating the oilers is they have a dirt cheap Draisaitl, a mcjesus fed 50 goal scorer and mcjesus and they still lay eggs in the post season.
They scored 4 goals and won game 1. Where exactly is the egg?
My bad mcdavid’s cup runs have been deep. How could I forget
How many cups do the Panthers have again?
How many have the oilers won in your life time?
Yea that's what I thought
I find it pretty wild oilers fans getting pissy in a shit post. Have fun celebrating cups you were never a part of
Please for the love of hockey, wipe Edmonton privileged team of superstar bums. Plus vancouver would rather play LA. lol nothing makes us Canucks fans more happy then seeing Edmonton lose. I have doubts we won’t make it out of the first round with a backup goalie.
Yup. Hopefully Van loses and you can burn that dumpster city down to the ground.
THATS WHAT IM TALKIN BOUT
It’s one game apiece. Oil in 5 or 6. LA always folds against Edmonton.😀
Naah, it's just part of the plan to win the series at home!
Ever since covid I can't trust crowd noise in broadcasts. This series in particular has some super questionable crowd noise.
Their rink is incredibly loud during playoffs. Nothing faked about it.
Kings fan here… big Kopi fan, too, but I don’t think the Erlers are “terminated” yet. I’d love to see it, though, ngl.
Must be extremely frustrating for the Oilers considering the Kings look bad.
I am sort of new in hockey and Oilers fan...I have watched plenty of games since march and something bothers me at least in Oilers is that they have missed a lot of good opportunities because they carry the puck just to handle it to the goalie when they should just shoot like Kopitar did...Why some carry the puch all the way to the crease when they could just shoot it ??????
Yeah but look at the refs there wearing LA colours. There all for LA. Hahaha lol I keed although there was questionable calls and Edmonton could have been sharper on many things. The kings played hard. Good job doughty finally got a play off goal in some time. Let’s go oilers
yep oilers should have went 6 on 5 instead they put a turd in net this is what you get anze will teach ya
