i guess they determined the other LA skater was far enough back that it wasn't a clear lane to the net situation.

You’re going to read and hear a lot about officiating and special teams play, but to my eye, this series really came down to the fact that the Kings are weak and stupid and cowardly while the Oilers are clever, strong and brave.

Loved seeing the Drais hook replayed 4 times but the Kings chances at 6on5 with 1 replay. Just annoying.

Kings should have had a 5-on-3 after the hook on Fiala. The dive call was bullshit. I don't know if the refs are aware, but hockey players wear knives on their feet and use them move around quickly on a sheet of slippery ice. If they get pulled back, they tend to fall funny.

Well I crunched the numbers and theoretically the Kings still would not have scored if they had gotten infinity powerplays, so it seems silly to dwell on it

Definitely it was the fault of the refs that the Kings lost 4-1 and not their cowardly coaching plan

Also the penalty on PLD was... iffy? He knocked down the guy with the puck. I dunno.

The handshake line may have been respectful, but right after the game Arvidsson was delivering some pretty powerful fuckyous to someone.

That’s what happened in round 2 last year. But it seems like the refs are a lot less shy this year.

The Oilers radio guys were tiptoeing around the fact that if all those calls had gone the other way they'd be fuckin apoplectic

Let’s be honest though, Fiala went with the swan dive on that hook. It looked ridiculous and I’m very okay with the Embellishment call there. Definitely a hook, but the guy didn’t lift him up off the ice.

If I were the Kings I’d be more upset that we played mediocre hockey and that PLD looks like a 3rd line plug.

I don't have a pony in that race but as an impartial observer it felt like the Kings got pretty hosed.

The Oilers were the better team in 4/5 games. The Kings outplayed them in game 4 and that was it, but they don't have actual guys that can finish. The other games weren't really close and it would have been a sweep if Skinner wasn't awful in game 2.

If you're going to call the dive, why call the initial penalty at all? They just cancel out. Diving should be punished with a fine, anyway.

Calling a 'dive' on a team facing elimination that could have gone on a 5-on-3 powerplay in a tied game is absolute horseshit.

Plus it wasn't a dive.



The shaft of the stick pushes his knee inward and he loses balance.

That man must have the strongest forearm in the world to make Fiala fall. That was a dive.

I respect Jack, he obviously loves the game and loves the team and has an enthusiasm that a lot of broadcasts lack which I appreciate. But he could cross the line from “enthusiastic homer” to… worse than that, from time to time.
