Groundhog Day all over again deja vu all over
again stop me if you've heard this before third straight season the Kings meet the Oilers in the
postseason round three starts tonight will it be three strikes in your rout or how about this third
times a charms Philip do know joking this morning what's the point of playing all year when you
know Edmonton nla will play in the first round of the playoffs not going to be any surprises
here between both teams we know what they want to do they know what we want to do and that's just
about who's going to do it better Edmonton's scary got a superhero out there all the time it's
either dry Sidle or McDavid La is a four-line team they're going to have to play four lines but
they're going to really have to be focused to make sure that you keep the momentum out of mcdavid's
hands good luck he's wheeling and McDavid pass is score s pman of course has the first goal for the
Oilers Conor McDavid who else he gets in set up what a good spin we've seen him do that before
Center Atman just out of the reach of Henri on the entry David Corral's the puck behind the
net moves out in front dishes shoo him and scor set draws three kings to him with that
little spin spin move again then F time and says thank you very much point of emphasis for
the LA Kings is can they PK you know prevent the Oilers from scoring like they did last
playoffs not so much tonight low to drle score newon Hopkins makes it for nothing Conor McDavid
half minute on the power play what timer score Leon dyle from deep in the right Circle Ro
it's only a small space where you're going to hit the net from there and he's he does it
all the time here's mcav with passive score it's the BS at Rogers Place s eight T I believe
five assists for counter McDavid a hattick for Zack K and win number one in the playoffs for the
head coach Chris doesn't change much you know we got to come out with that same emergency that
same desperation I guess be ready to roll the Oilers will aim to keep the offense flowing at
home looking to grab a two nothing series lead this player and this team the feeling is perhaps
it's a different story now the Kings talked about this past regular season when they had their worst
performances they had great bounceback games so it's no secret the Kings need that tonight but
it's a change of possession the floated only as far as the blue line to pick off cop middle K fire
he scores Adrien Kee what a start for the Kings one- nothing Los Angeles K to kobar katar back in
front Kee scores tipped in Adrien Kee and all of a sudden the Los Angeles Kings have a two nothing
lead McDavid again in front it comes to henrique chance sa loose Puck still loose in the blue paint
snow call no whistle where's the puck the referee standing on the back of the net he had a better
Viewpoint than anyone else chance to see something does it slide underneath Mikey here after video
review the call on the ice is confirmed the puck never crosses the goal line we have no goal
dry looks cool out and he scores Dy in Dy a chance and he score to H and he score cross I one
timer score we're tied Zack kyman buries the equal sticks in behind the goal McDavid Wheels out still
hanging on feet over one time tell b a ridiculous save on Leon tricle absolute robbery from the
king's genders it's been a great one but we're set up for what should be an absolutely fantastic
finish heading to Senate death overtime in game two and Spence will take over for Anderson and up
the wall Byfield tipped it moving in shot score Andre kop overtime winner game two the series is
tied the Los Angeles Kings were never behind in this game they had the lead two nothing 3-1
and 43 and find a way to win it in overtime 54 I see it's one game for them one game for us
now we go to La third year in a row the Oilers and kings are dead locked at one a piece in their
first round matchup and with the series Shifting the Hollywood but it's now a best of five with a
chance for either team to gain the upper hand it is game three between Edmonton La as the Stanley
Cup Playoffs continue from California now a giveaway by gouty front of the net highman denied
and they score no zck Hyman gets the Oilers on the board here in game three here's Kane from driveid
Rolling behind the net trying to bank it off to but and then drive Sidle scored over the right
shoulder Leon dyle makes it two nothing edited this is the critical moment who you could live
with he would be that much more difficult than the owners going to their bread and butter down L
David Near The Net moving to the front trying to force let's go the Edmonton Oilers Captain is
on the board with a power play marker hits it out on the wing Hopkins and they score tipped in
front by Evander Kane it's 41 Vander Kane rounding hard boy that one really shook up you Vander Kane
and that left leg dragging through and taken down Kane is what he didn't like that's a slop man
you do it every time K you do it every time and now we've got a scraping Center Ice as Evander
Kane is slow to get up after that hit Evander Kane is now looking for guys and he's trying to
go with pretty much anyone and it's starting to boil over here in LA is let's go you guys want
after this will be my guest but everyone will just go MC Davis settlings offard and they
score Zack Hyman at the doorstep and it's 51 Edmonson good call he can't def no they got to
kill penalties better or not take them at all you just can't win when your penalty killing
doesn't get the job done Hopkins takes it now it's McDavid moving to the net one timer Drive
CLE scores another power play goal it's a broken record isn't it same thing and again success on
the power play buzzer goes but this one ain't over yet the Kings don't go quietly but they are
pounded by the Oilers here in game three second time in this this is one of those games you
just bury this only kill power play out 10 10 game four we're making sure we don't make the same
mistake as we did in game two we're ready to play the Edmonton Oilers were dominant in game three
wasn't the homecoming the Kings would have like you just got to park it and move on camtel but
out David reck in sometimes when coaches make a change like this you look for a reaction huge
hit by along the and another one here from hit hard knocked down by dowy a good clean hard check
on a pretty solid guy puts him down on the ice and moud got knocked down by angland going to
get a penalty here our first call of this game McDavid cuts to the inside from the high slot goes
across the grain who hard with a bomb and it's one nothing Edmonton Conor mcdavis now has a point
on all eight Edmonson Power Play Goals in this series Herson the re around sa rebound save again

he died feeds it right side shot more block back to harson and Skinner got just enough KN he
loads up back to poo and it's over the glob with Skinner there's that shot from the middle of
the ice they're looking for just got to hit the net with it Pala dowy walks in back for PIAA and
the rebound control by Henri for Edmonton he'll just take it to the corner off the draw the
[ __ ] in the corner R Nerf chasing chops it up not out Kee a shot the net is blocked and
the Oilers going to clear and that'll do it Stuart Skinner with his first career Stanley Cup
playoff shutout he was by far the best player of start one two and three with the Oilers in this
game final score the Edmonton Oilers won the LA Kings nothing the Oilers take game four and take
command of this best of seven three games to one Rogers Place is already rocking it's the Oilers
and the Kings it's game five it's an elimination game so for the Kings must win that's on their
mind playoffs no one's going to give up our entire objective tonight is win a hockey game
and go back to LA Oilers here they don't want to go back to LA for game six be honest you want
to finish it off now start resting up for the next series we want to come out of the gates you know

he's back at it again this time another stick foul for drle right side they get it back to McDavid
curls holds on to drle to McDavid to drle save R they might have to see where he got the absolutely
Leon thinks he scored place right now is but I got to tell you you can't see that in that if they
determine that that puck is in an area where it's over the line they can make that determination
determin that the puck completely crossed the line we have a goal final few seconds rard out

Kings are within one pcket the half one picked up by Dr with the first
he's whed penalty the pumper nickel by Leon D and that will do it in the
first round the Oilers advance in P gam there were higher expectations for the team
coming into this season specifically to give the Kings better matchup opportunities against a
team like Edmonton didn't turn out that way great first series um obviously we can we can enjoy it
for now but uh we're looking forward to the next
