Great to see secondary scoring in the playoffs, skinner plays great with consistent pressure so to keep on his game like he did even though he did nothing in the first
You oiler fans have 0 class! All you guys do is have excuses and complain 24/7 and you guys boo at every little thing. After 2 games I can confirm this fanbase is beyond trash
Series tied. Still taking undisciplined penalties that could bite at some time. Kings are such a clean team 🤪. Overall the team is playing solid. Will Jack Micheals get to call a game or is Singher the voice of the oilers. For me it’s like replacing McDavid with Jujar Khara, ,both hockey players but not at the same skill level. Looking forward to game 3.
Second Game of the series. I couldn't watch or listen to this one at all so just going from the stats sheets and the highlights. Leon has the first shot, Ryan is perfectly positioned to get the rebound. That is what a patient vet can do for you and it's one nothing just over 2 1/2 minutes in. Then we have the ONE formal PP the Oilers get the McDavid, Bouch, McDavid, Leon with the One Timer from his office. Two nothing Oilers. The boys then took a siesta during the 2nd period while LA scored to tie it up. Finally the third period and more Depth Scoring bails them out. The game winner by Kostin who is surrounded by 3 LA Kings and says WTF I'll just shoot and it goes in. I don't think Korpisalo was even thinking it was an option allowing for how the Kings had him surrounded. So what I consider a lucky goal wins us the game. Finally Kane to Draisaitl to Kane for the empty netter after Korpisalo got pulled for the extra attacker and Skinner weathered the storm. He played a lot better this game as did the Oilers in front of him from what I saw. I still think 4 penalties is 4 too many. They have to tighten it up and be disciplined. The first period Leon for slashing, yeah I didn't see it but if he did, he did. The three in the 2nd with Nuge, Leon, and Kane all taking penalties including a delay of game on Kane was, ah, challenging. Yes the Oilers PK handled it but still, don't give them freebie shots. I thought the 99 combined hits last game was a lot, this game, 112 so there will be a LOT of bruises and bumps taken. The Oilers won. Series is tied up. Now they need to win in LA. They do that and we can finish it off next week at home. Just get 3 more W's in this round boys and we're going to round two but until the job is done don't take anything for granted. Take care all.

As Bruce McCurdy said, powerplay time so far in the series:
Kings 15min 50 seconds
Oilers 3 min 20 seconds
Eeeeekkkk… The Oilers are taking some dumb penalties, but I think LA is getting away with some, because of how lethal the Oilers powerplay is.
Gonna sleep soundly tonight that's for sure.

Oilers in 6. Not wavering from my original prediction. Playoff Leon is a war machine.
Look at that smile … 😃 ahh good to see the boys came thur … let's keep the good vibes going 😊🙏
Well done brotha. Good breakdown. Good to be an Oil fan. But stressful AF

It's playoffs let's get this channel up to 5k followers.
in a perfect world , the league makes a rule that the 1-3-1 trap formation is a penalty. wishful thinking i know.
Stu should think about adjusting his RVH and going boot top to the post. It seals the post off better but the tradeoff is slower recovery.
Why did the boys on the plane change anything at all from the past month??
Thank you Patrick for being consistent after each game. I appreciate you.
