Carl! Look! One of the mods just fucked back on!!!!!!

Rats! I missed their brief appearance.

Still waiting for a sighting of the elusive Uni-Cornuck...

Doctor Zhivago Strangelove aka Ivan A. Vuckonenov

This is the Vancouver Canucks calling.

Hello.

This is the Vancouver Canucks calling.

One Tom Wilson to go please.

Yes, many of us here have lusted after him over the years.

I pity the man that missed the Habs/Caps game tonight.

YOWSERS

LA was also the league's best home team this year - by a lot. They hard match, and get great goaltending, the road is a slightly different story.

I think Edm will make a go at it, this series is destined for 7.

Yeah, they are not exactly Kings of the Road.

I'd say the Oil win this one tonight.

Skinner benched.

Everytime I watch Kempe play he always impresses me. Definitely one of the most underrated players in the game.

...end of the 2nd and your over is covered by half a goal.

I also see that the Devil D, sure to be a bust, Simon Nemec scored the OT winner for NJ tonight.

To go along with a +1, 5 SOG, a hit, 2 blocked shots and 22.4 minutes played.

Brutal outing.

Adjustments, Don.

Oilers win 7-4.

Over pays.

Strangelove = genius.

The Kings coach lost that one.

When they came out in the third they were playing protect the lead hockey. They quit pushing the pace and let Edmonton dictate things while trying to keep them to the outside…..it’s like trying to play prevent defense with 4 minutes left against Mahomes with all his timeouts remaining.

When LA pushed things, Edmonton was on their heels. The Oilers done have goaltending that they trust, and when the Kings apply pressure, Edmonton unravels.

Oh well.

[Strangelove]

... not to mention the fact Coach Hiller made the idiotic decision to challenge the Kane goal that tied it in the 3rd.

Clearly there was no goalie interference there, like WTF?

Hiller's blunder gave the Oil a power play of course.

And just 10 seconds in, Oilers scored the game winner, making it 5-4.

(they added 2 empty-netters in the final 2 minutes)

Hagel suspended 1 playoff game.

I didn’t see a decent replay of the Kane goal until today. Brutal decision by Hiller.

Hagel suspended 1 playoff game.

Which, at the time of your post, has officially been served.

Le sigh.

I did not see the Wild making this series as competitive as it has been.
