I want Rittich !!!
Talbot sucks.
Remember Kings attempted to trade Talbot but were denied. Cam has made some great saves! But allowing 6 goals is unacceptable and i refuse to blame just the defense this time. The whole team played like crap in game 3. But Talbot still allowed 6 goals.
ITS TIME FOR DAVID RITTICH!!
Who when started against the oil a little over a month ago he beat them.
One word to describe this organization, a mess. Definition, untidy state of things.
Talbot doesn't make the biggest saves ,but he keeps us in most games. But Doughty and Anderson giving the puck away ,leaving Talbot all alone you can't blame him for that. We have the worst special teams in the playoffs by far, that's what kills this team..
I’m a diehard Oilers fan, and let me tell ya; I had you guys winning last night. Don’t count your guys out just yet! You guys have our whole fan base terrified. Trust me!
This is turning into one helluva rivalry!
Cheers, 👑’s fans
Eddie see you on Sunday and if this Kings team does not wake up and Man up we'll be saying goodbye to the Kings for this season!
I very much disagree with your take, this is what I saw.
Kings got dominated in the first. The 1-3-1 was totally figured out. The Oilers out played us in nearly every conceivable way for the first 20 minutes.
The second, the Kings seemed to abandon the 1-3-1, it became way more of a dog fight. That period ended up being a 1-1 affair, much better.
The first four minutes of the third, the Kings flat out looked the best they have all series. They completely abandoned the 1-3-1, controlled the puck almost the entire time, and every line generated at least one high danger chance. We were looking like the team that went on that winning streak. We looked faster, sharper, and overall better.
Then the refs decided to call the most baffling 5on3 I've ever seen. That wasn't a penalty, Evander Kane flopped like Vlade Divac. Even if it was how do they throw 3 kings and 3 oilers in the penalty box….. then just start a 5on3 without announcing the penalties or anything? I've never seen anything like that in all my years watching professional sports.
Then they gave them another 5on3 and all was lost.
Half of their expected goals scored came after the bizarre referee calls.
If the Kings from the second period and first part of the third show up, and the referees don't pull that kind of craziness again, then kings take this in 6 easy.
Yes, in the game of hockey, usually the game is pretty much over after the third period.
One of the worst games ever. sugarcoat it all you want Drew Doughty lost his game for us
So sick of seeing Lewis take up a roster spot. The guy offers nothing, zero offense and zero defense/pk. Play the kids, bring in Clarke to ignite the PP cause nothing is working on the PP.
the problem with not calling penalties in the playoffs is that the same teams play each other for the entire series. If the game is close, the refs WILL generally let minor infractions go uncalled because they don't want to influence the result of the game. However, in a game like this where it's 4-1 in the 3rd and the Kings have nothing going and zero momentum, those penalties should definitely be called. If not, it leads to the losing team trying to injure the opposing players to gain an advantage in future games. The headshot on Kane was a clear example of this.
As another Oilers fan I agree. This series looks far from over.
@krptddamage3322 look at the bright side, Kings fans get to witness greatness.
Most of us are long time Kings fans and Hockey fans, but some just don't get it. The Kings are a solid team up and down, Stanley Cup contenders … except for one key position – Goaltender. You can't let in 6 GPG and expect your team to advance. If Talbot was playing junior Hockey – he would get scored on. When it comes to playoff Hockey, he would need to go up 3 notches to get to the level of mediocre. TIME TO MAKE A CHANGE OR MAKE VACATION PLANS.
You said if the Kings goalies were good, they would win. Followed up with it doesn't which goalie plays, because games are won and lost by the team around them
I swear this is the only team that just throws away games
Need a scorer. How about Fagemo?
Kings are to busy hitting while the Oilers are playing Hockey
It’s not even about being over critical of Talbot, but more so, why not give Dave a look
The kings are dirty. Late hits, low hits, high hits and diving. They are getting what they deserve.
They need a number
1 goaile which they do not have thats why they are going to lose this series
You kings know that talbot was the goalie for the oilers for a few years . So yah I think we know how to pick him apart. But look at the bright side L.A did win the cup in 2013 I think while we haven't won since 1990
KIngs should go with the Laker colors and the crown for the crest…it's so obvious.
Lose games. They have not lost they have gotten smoked off the ice. Reality is skill and talent will be structure and system. Can't justify continuing to start a goalie with a gaa of 5.00. Not happening.
Talbot at 36. I think his reflexes are slower than the shots from a high powered offense of the Oilers.
Do the Kings have the best Slewfoots per 60 in the league?
Id say say.
Dirty scumbags
The 1st goal …. Hyman was alone for like 30 seconds and could have taken all day by himself leaving guys in front no concern with getting back on defense is pathetic lol. Just a bad team overall really a bunch of B to C grade talent compared to most teams the start of the season was obviously just a fluke
