it should be clear to the Coach & All that he did NOT prepare his team to WIN. He prepared them to have fun, to play… but to win in Playoffs can NOT take 7 penalties (14mins) esp when all had no bearing on preventing a goal or a big hit etc. All were due to lack of prep/discipline. Bouch & lately Kane are doing it all the time & nobody is talking to them to fix it. As adults, its not that hard to control a stick & play 15 mins or so withOUT taking a careless penalty unless completely incompetent or not coached on it. No team is good enough to win if take 6 penalties vs 1 in final 2 periods of a hockey game – there is too much parity to think you are good enough to give the other side 25% of time (10min/40min TL) short handed. No reporter asked coach to take responsibility to fix this – & Coach just skated by on how he is focussed on all being happy.
as a reference Bruins had 2 penalties all game… vs Oilers taking 7. If Coach or Players can't or won't self discipline to NOT do this – they are not at all playing to win – just playing… & those extra 10mins short handed will cause a loss. Teams are too close to think one can just be this careless in the most important metric. Team GREAT OTHERWISE but doesn't understand the most basic element of playoffs – can't be lazy/careless or that is losing hockey.
We beat them regularly 5 on 5, stay out of the penalty box,I'm 61, even I could score 6 on 4. Enter the corners of the rink tonight in a bad mood boys!
Coach, you forgot to state there at the end âand Iâd like word to get out for our fans not to litter our great ice with trash if youâre not happy with tonightâs results.â
Be nice to see someone, anyone call out the crooked refs. Nhl better pray thereâs never again a hot mic cause match fixing seems to be happening and that would be a huge lawsuit with them being in bed with betting sites.
I would like to see a very hard physical game. Similar to the second last time these two teams met in the regular season. It took it right out of the kings you could tell they were exhausted

Let's prey that the refs are a little more fair this game. No team should have to play against a team and the refs to win.
Jim please retire
Letâs go Oilers!! â€đ
Same questions after the game, after the practice and now on game day. How many questions can you ask about 1 game?

EDM needs to get LA out of their structure. Idk what it is about the Kings but McDavid is held at bay somewhat when they play.
