  1. "what happened in the last penalty kill why didnt it work as well?"
    "oh you mean the 6 on 4?"
    lmfao

  2. HEY OILERS: PRACTICE OT scenarios maybe instead of leaving it up to chance or the other team scoring. Why didn’t mcjesus light the fire in OT also. Like wtf you guys wake up, if you guys lose this series edmontionians will run the entire team out of town. I’m sure if it.

  3. All the Oilers "thought they had control of the game" so where was the Coach who was suppossed to be keeping them in the moment and keeping it real for them? A very average game from this player in the biggest game of his Oilers career…..we have to see more stay at home type defending and less risk taking to create offense. Find your Playoff DEFENSE level before the Series is over please. Go Oilers!!!!!

  4. Enjoy this victory kings. That is well you still can. You are not going to win this series. Same thing that happened last year will happen To you this year. The only reason you won was because of the refs. F y i Drew Doughty your stupid smile in ot will get wiped off soon enough. Like I said kings enjoy while you can.

  5. LET'S GO OILERS got 6 more games lets regroup and come out on fire wednesday.

  6. It's just one game, the Kings now have a false sense of safety. They gotta win 3 more. I don't think that will happen.

  7. Kings fan, but these were fair and honest answers, no BS. Kudos to Ekholm.
    And to the reporter – Desharnais swung wildly and did trip Lizotte, the broken stick just happened to be in the area.

  8. it is best explained as Oilers outplayed LA – but took really dumb penalties 5 vs 1 in final 44mins. Penalties are very serious. No team can win if take a lot of unnecessary penalties…. worst being Bouch w >2min to go. Simple as that. Penalties change the momentum, the score, everything. Either Coach failed to prep them or undisciplined players that are not really playing to WIN. They will have to fix this – & for every game as the Series are so close that 1 penalty or bad play is the diff.
