Draisaitl is such a beast in playoffs, and this year he isn't injured with his ankle.

Both oilers wins in this series were dominant. I’m liking their chances this year.

Why can't they show any of the penalties, particularly if they lead to a powerplay goal. If it becomes a turning point, that should be in the package.

Glad to see players that played for Bakersfield Condors putting in work for the oilers

The LA Kings are the same as the last 2 years while the Oilers have improved 10 folds. Penalty Kill and Defense has improved so much since the 2022 Playoffs for this team and somehow we made the WCF that year. We keep playing like this and we can get to SCF at the minimum.

As usual the Kings went chippy, interesting to see Doubty get a goal but even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. Best game in a while for Deharnais, just strong and focused, tough and protective. Sundays game should be a blowout with chippy, hacky play, probably a 5 goal margin, then back home to eliminate the Kings in front of a loud and appreciative crowd

Dr.Jekyl and Mr.Hyde series....and THAT pretty much sums up the Oilers....Unstoppable juggernaut one game. Defensive disaster the next.....As long as they get 14 more wins this spring, we won't mind. They are never predictable, thats for sure.

The Kane to Drai goal was a perfect execution for exploiting the weak winger in the 1-3-1. Send them up the boards with speed, get them the puck, past that outside winger and they all have to scramble getting back. Chaos.

I feel blessed to see the Hyman era of the Edmonton Oilers play out

Hopefully Skinner has the best stretch of his life in him the next few weeks because this team is scoring at a rate that they have to be a favorite to win the Cup

"Hidden"? It was still better than 25% - just not as dominant as last year.

Wow did Kane practice using the rim of the net to backpass? lol the meta's changing boys

Отличная тактика Ойлерс:подсадить Кингс на удаления..

One of the better hockey games I have seen all season long. We were dominant all game, didn't get complacent at the end letting in stupid goals, and 92 penalty minutes! If we keep this up we will win for sure. Next game is pivotal. If we win it I would love us to end the series at home.

That goal was a bit of a breakdown. Left Stu out to dry. Glad they took the momentum right back

That Doughty turnover on the Hyman goal was awful.

The turnover count would exceed anything Pillsbury's achieved.

He rushed the pass for no reason.. for such an experienced player, I was embarrassed for him. They need to slow it down and regain some composure.

Doughy boy

Edmonton's defense played a helluva game steady, physical and smart. Boucher responded well even knocking Dubois on his butt 😂. Kane played in beast mode. Drai absolutely OWNED the faceoff dots in LA probly took them home for a night lol. LA came out swinging and ramped up the physical play but our boys responded well. 😊 Great game but LA still has some gas left in the tank be ready for game 4.

Oilers have the Best fans in CANADA

As an Oilers fan, I disagree! After a not so good game, Oilers "fans" often leave nasty comments about the players and even give them names, for ex. "swiss cheese Skinner". That's not how you talk about your own team!

@halcyon-cg2eb yeah, that's how passionate fan bases are. We're not like Toronto where we don't show up or we don't really care about the team. You're damn right we get mad In game 2 or when the team goes 3-9

@@johnfive2440 You're trying to compliment a guy by intentionally misspelling his name? Yeah, that makes sense. Must be a child who thinks the word hymen is funny. Homer glasses, LOL, Zach's had 3 great seasons. He's got a long way to go to match the career Smyth has had. They didn't call him Captain Canada because he was decent.

Because Kings went head hunting, literally! We're being dominated so started trying to hurt guys. Oilers decided to get payback. Best message ever. Wanna play dirty and take liberties? This is what happens when you're in the box.
