  1. Bouchard is gonna be a star, Ekholm is the perfect mentor…not gonna lie tho I thought it was over after 4-3

  2. Ноздря в ноздрю. По сри :нафиг в 2-х и 1: 1 в третьем. Если бы дополнительные играли на время, то и там наверняка сравняли бы.

  3. The whole team effort is 100%, the only problem I think is goalie, I just hope oilers will win the series. Let’s go oilers

  4. Резво стартанули так,что сами испугались. Признак слабой команды, неуверенность в своей победе

  5. This was an amazing game, maybe the most exciting of the playoffs so far, given how many chances were exchanged. Clearly, no lead is safe. And Edmonton could've been down and out, but they proved that experience MATTERS. Those 16 playoff games (and two series wins) across the 2021 and 2022 playoffs (plus 4 pre-playoff games in 2020) have made them resilient. They've made them believe that they control their own destiny. Momentum is a huge deal in the playoffs, and tonight, two teams (Dallas and Edmonton) stole momentum back from their opponents, while two have thus far been unable to maintain a successful push back against much stronger opponents, and have therefore been put in the unenviable position of having to either win 3 straight games against excellent teams…or go golfing in Arizona. And honestly, I can't see either the Islanders, and especially not the Panthers successfully pulling off the first option. I'm curious to see which category the Devils, Kraken, Jets and Lightning fit into. My prediction is that only the Devils are doomed to fall tonight. I really think we're going to see a repeat of last year, where 5 of 8 first-round series went to 7 games. This is noteworthy since last year is already the only time in the salary cap era, and only the second time since round 1 became a best-of-7 that 5 or more 1st-round series wen 7 games* (it's actually more common for ZERO 1st-round series to go the distance**).

    *The other happened in 1992, when 12 teams played a deciding game 7 in their opening round series.
    **This has happened 4 times, in 1996, 2001, 2017 and 2020.

  6. The Oilers would not take "no" for an answer tonight.

  7. Campbell may have hit his game just in time. If he plays like this the rest of the playoffs, I'd love to see him back next season. (Not that he wouldn't be lol).
    Gotta say tho, this series has been more intense than last playoffs with LA. Kudos to LA for such a quick rebuild.

  8. Nurse is one awful defenseman! How do you get beat so bad continuously?

  9. What's funny is everytime Kings score, the camera zooms right in on Nurse specifically, even the cameraman is like WTF are you doing?

  10. Sloppy, careless play from both teams. Which team will assert themselves to take charge? Oilers 3rd and 4th lines and D don't inspire much confidence. Leon's a beast!

  11. Say all you want about the soft call in the 2nd, but the Kings stabbed themselves in the foot that entire period. Giving up 3-0 is not an excuse. Period.

  12. Looks like Vinny is scared to do anything. Good to see Campbell step in and hold the fort. Moore should have been given a major, Kane was suspended for that last year. Glad the refs pretty much kept their whistles away tonight.

    Best of 3.
