This loss is on Oilers, but honestly – the refs are the reason this sport will just never become widely popular. People don't know what is going on, the calls are insanely inconsistent. Ridiculous…
@ 2:12 you mean you were disappointed in how you FAILED TO LOCK IT DOWN….right? I am now confused. In the game I saw the Oilers had a 2-1 lead and they failed to lock it down and the rest is history.
Not worried still say Oilers in 6. Game 1s are not the Oilers specialty that’s for sure for whatever reason but they were clearly the better team and that usually shows up as the series goes on 🤞🏻 Like last year.
Bantam level goaltending.. This is the Oilers downfall yet again. Until they find a goalie that can steal games CONSISTENTLY, it will be the same old song. I hope Skinner can one day do that
The OT penalty was weak in my mind. There was no reasonable opportunity to score denied, nor was the LA player denied the ability to gain possession and control of the puck, the Edmonton player almost immediately had the puck. Having said that, gotta protect that lead.
Two disallowed goals, and correctly so, a clear and loud post. This was a mix of bad luck, bad bounces, and just sloppy penalties. Hardly any reason for worry or concern, assuming they can play more disciplined going forward.
The energy early was with the Oilers. A full 60 is necessary to close the deal, sure it is first to 4 that wins. Good luck Edmonton Canada is with you. 🌛
Come on Jay, take the fine and call a spade a spade. Those refs were brutal. The penalty on Bouch wouldn’t have happened if they had called La for hacking Drai 30 seconds earlier. And calling a marginal penalty in overtime is just bs. I called game management half way through the third and was proven right. Funny how the whistles got swallowed for one team and not the other.
We didn't bring our EH game. Jay got out coached by his old mentor…weathering the 1st period storm, LA's road plan took over. We took some dumb penalties & most of us know what to expect from atypical playoff officiating. They had the better goalie last night. ☆ Learn from it, get motivated from it & bring it, next time!
👎🏻 We looked like classless, clueless 🤡's, littering the ice…especially with the video replay. Aren't we supposed to know the game❓️
Be sharp boys. Some good and bad in that game. Definitely too slow to the puck chases. The kings load up the offside when we dump it in and do a small 1-2 chip out of their zone. We can't dump 1 deep, we need to chip off cross boards and hoard the corner. 2 in the scrum, one wide top circle. If we stayed aggressive in the 3rd and didn't play like we had already won, we would have kept the lead. Too sloppy on checking, that's why Kane and Bouch both got called. McD was a little avg last night, I expect him to come out in Ludacris mode next game.
Biggest complain is fan etiquette at game, common now. Make your city and country proud. Don't act like a child that had their toy taken away. I get it, emotional games get the best of us, but we rise above together, or fall to the drain.

Go kings! Way to take arrogant oilers fan down a notch
Up 3-1 starting the 3rd period, got to close it out there, this is playoff Hockey!
On to the next one, huge rebound game coming up to tie it up…
Go Oil Go!! 🟠🔵

Kings were scrappy and the Oilers were crappy

Like last year.
So do you think the Edmonton oilers are done in the playoffs or no

Yamamoto is a liability. Someone had to say it. Position should be improved next season IMO.
The Deer 🦌 in headlights coach!
The McDavid line needs to be better. And stop taking stupid penalties.

Needed to lock some calmness down after the scrappy first
The loss on home ice though is the kicker… it is always, most certainly, the kicker.
At any rate… on to game 2.
G🥅 🥅i🏒ers G🥅!!!
🚨🚨🚨
Apparently Jay never made it clear enough on the chalk board in the dressing room that home ice advantage is actually suppose to be an advantage.
Karma is a dish best served COLD
Those fans chanting “Ref you suck” for a clear highstick call no goal. They got what they deserved. Kings in 7
👑 Go Kings, Go!!! 👑

Oilers still trying to run and gun to cover up for defensive problems 🏒🇨🇦🏒
Hahahaha nice!! Great to wake up to this 😂where was mcdavo…
Mistakes were made….. moving on. No doubt a lot was learned. Game 2 tomorrow, different outcome. Let's go, boys!!
hahahaha. 3-1 lead and you lose? hahaha Nurse is useless.
What we need is for sportsnet to figure out another way to ram more advertising down our throats
Go kings go!
Stupid, stupid, penalties. Put the nail in the coffin when you have the chance. Stop letting teams back in.
Told ya they were going nowhere with their trash goaltending. Have fun blowing those multi goal leads, hahaha!
What I'm most pissed at is the "fans" throwing crap on the ice. Be better Edmonton Fans! Everyone is watching.

Pretty sure we always lose game one. Jay is a smart coach, I expect a tight well disciplined game on tomorrow with some good McJesus goals.
