On today’s JBSR, last night the Los Angeles Kings deafened the Edmonton Oilers 4-3 in overtime in Game 1 of their 7 game series. Despite being outplayed for the first two periods of the game, the Kings were able to mount two two-goal comebacks and steal game 1. Could the Kings dynamic offence and stellar goaltending lead them on a deep run to the Stanley Cup?

Praying on the Oilers downfall 🙏😈 Love me some McDoofus but can't stand the fans
You nailed it Jesse. They played the high powered Avs few days ago and outshot them 23 to 3 in the first that's how good this king are.
I don't know if the Kings look ready for a Cup Run, but they certainly ready to expose an Oilers team which has gotten better since the trade deadline, but perhaps not solved all the problems many people thought they had. I do think the Kings are real, and I've seen a lot of people sleeping on them as an potential upset. I picked LA in my bracket because I don't think that Ekholm single-handedly solves all the balance and defensive issues the Oilers had, despite the hot run that they went on at the end of the season.
kings got dominated lol they aren't a problem
The Kings stealing a win despite missing Fiala and Vilardi is quite impressive to be honest.
I love how this is an overreaction video yet it's still more calm and collected than listening to Charlie Day and Wyldes fake laugh
huge win for the kings
the trade with the blue jackets and the wild for fiala have been huge
go kings go
If LA wins game 2 as well there winning this series book it
Series only gets harder when LA gets healthier. Gave Vilardi confirmed to have made the trip. Probably will slot in game 2. If fiala comes back it’s scary times for oil country
6 powerplays? Who gets 6 powerplays in a playoff game? Were the Oilers just total goons out there? Did the refs change the rules for playoff hockey again, and start calling everything, or were the Oilers just running amok?
The kings r not a problem please know hcokey before u talk thanks
I felt like LA got there footing in the 2nd they really started to slow things down and while the Oilers had a few high danger chances an a lot of zone time LA was able to limit those high danger chances and a kept the majority of the shots to the outside and was able to transition to offence easily that's LA Kings hockey LA having a healthy top 4 makes life so much easier when the Kings can ensure that McDavid is always facing a pair that can limit his offense
Oilers in 54:16 of 5×5 time: controlled 62.96 percent of the shot attempt share, 62.07 percent of the scoring chances, and 66.6 percent of the expected goal share. No points for McDavid. Weird goal called off in the first period. Oilers had 6 penalties, including that very flukey trip in OT (it was a penalty but they should be thanking the lord that inexplicably found its way between Lizotte's skates). The Kings are good, but last night is not particularly good evidence of the Kings being anything other than resilient and opportunistic.
I take nothing away from what the king's did last night. They fought hard and kept it close giving them a punchers chance to win.
But they won because of penalties the oilers outplayed and outscored them 5 on 5. You're not going to get 6 pp every game. 2 goals came on the pp and 1 came 4 on 4 meaning penalties also led to that goal. I think the oilers come out hard in game two and we go to LA tired at one but maybe I'm wearing orange and blue colored glasses.
Regardless Go Oilers Go
LOL “look ready for a cup run”?!?! That game was decided by penalties lol and I can tell you the oilers aren’t gonna give them up like that next game, they got dominated for the entire game lol that’s wild to come out and say they are ready for a cup run
They were trailing Edmonton the whole game, a couple bad penalties at the end cost the oilers the game.
You FAILED to mention that Kopitar had 4 pts. Any other player who puts that up on the stat sheet on a winning team will be the primary focus of a game review…Crosby, McDavid, Draisaitl, Patrick Kane, Marner, etc. This is exactly why Kempe had a "quiet" 41 goal season because Kopitar pretty much assisted on every one of those goals.
Weak
LA kings overrated
Love your hockey knowledge and ability to relay it to you audience. I'm subscribing now. Awesome job!!
I'm getting 2018 Vegas vibes from LA. Seattle samething.
As a Flames fan, if the Oilers stay out of the box, I don't think they have a problem
Let’s be real in all honesty the oilers lost that game the kings didn’t win it. The oilers handed them the win with unbelievable amount of penalties and I’m not even gonna complain abt the refs the oilers just were undisciplined in that game.
Bet the Kings +1200 to come out of the what and placed a series bet for them to win in 7 LETS GO KINGS 😂
Can't wait for the leafs video tomorrow
The good guys won. That’s what counts 🎉🎉
