  1. Give the guy some credit. He knows full well that LA didn't even show up tonight and I don't hear any excuses. I still think the Oil take it in 5, but I can appreciate the blunt honesty from the other side.

  2. JIm, you have to use the 3-Layer Forecheck….if you are unfamiliar with it get your best Asst to look it up online…its a part of the NewAge Hockey System….techically you might call it a 1-1.5-2.5 setup. Its your 1-3-1 with a few small tweaks that make it much much more aggressive…this is an Offensive Auto-Transition focus so when pucks are recovered the Puck Carrier takes control by immediatly sprinting to the net to make his move…and his supports immediatly go to rebound hotspots knowing the shots coming from the puck carrier ASAP QUICKSTRIKE STYLE EVERY TIME…this 3-Layer Forecheck produces high% Offensive chances like churns make butter….and its quickstrike so every time they fail to clear its going down their gullets.This is an extremely high pressure technical Forecheck because the 1st man in goes on extended high speed puck pursuits.. its a Forechecking Program designed to destroy the Oilers System by forcing them to play in a phone booth. Your 1-3-1 forces them to play in a phonebooth in the N-zone but my 3-Layer Forecheck forces them into a phone-booth in their own zone which is an entirely different story. Whoever drops this Rhino of an Oilers Team will have to use this weapon to do it ,so it might as well be you using it right now.Make it so.

  3. His guys are queuing their behaviour off of him…Hiller, and "old skool" coaches like him are going to be non-existent in the next few years. Hope you have some money saved Jim, see ya on the streets…

  4. Fun hockey game. 2 periods of hockey than a good bar brawl on the 3rd . Kane really got in their heads. Not really a game the kings should play in front of your own fans.

  5. This guy inherited a failed team and did the most with it. His true offensive game plan does NOT involve a 1-3-1 and actually involves better skating D. His job was to get this team into the top 3 in pacific and he did it. Edmonton is light years ahead of these guys. The best move he can do right now is start Rittich and just attack Edmonton with creativity and flow and teamwork. He doesn’t have any game breakers and he knows it.

  6. I don’t expect LA to win the series, but I don’t expect Edmonton to win the cup either. They still are like the same old team. Offensive heavy, no defense and shaky goaltending due to some heavy contracts There will be lucky to get to the conference finals, especially against Vegas or Dallas. They don’t match up well with them. If that doesn’t work, then Colorado will be waiting for him. It’s just too tight of a race this year. Neither of these teams is ready for the cup.

  7. I'm a diehard Kings fan but can admit we can't beat Edmonton. With that said I find great humor in hearing Edmonton Fans say the Kings are dirty and crybabies. You have the Lebron James of Hockey on your team (McDavid). He cries nonstop as well as Leon and just like Lebron you even breathe on them and it is a penalty. You have Kane and want to talk about dirty play. Ok boys!! The Kings are not as good as you but your soft, babied by the league team has no shot against Colorado or Vegas. Another year your crybaby doesn't win a cup. 🙁
