Bouchard was making bad passes that cost Edmonton two against. He needs to look up more often when in defensive mode. He also needs a defensive partner (Ekholm) that stays back and does not join the rush. Perfect example, Coffey and Huddy.
I sure hope Stecher is ready to go. Can not fathom having J Brown out there anymore. It's enough the team has to make up for Bouchard's continued mistakes.
After they tied it should’ve changed the lines, Mcdavid and Draisaitl both had like a 5 minute shift probably were both tired after doing it all themselves
Oilers looked way better when they put Walman back with Bouchard. Emberson needs to be put back on the right side with Kulak. Nurse with Kling if hes available. Kane needs to replace Skinner, you cant be -3 in 8 minutes of ice time

They need to shake up the team, it is apparent that the oilers are Stanley cup contenders. They need to play 60 minutes of hockey, to many mistakes for the playoffs.
They need to turn it up a notch. The first 2 periods they were on regular season cruise control. Bouchard is coughing up turnovers as per usual. Frustrating how he glides back so nonchalant. Skinner is out of position and slow laterally as per usual. Walman needs to be more in control. It was a terrible time to take a penalty in the playoffs.
What sort of mental strategies do you have in place to protect our goaltender(s) (and players) from the overwhelming and distracting chants from the opposing crowd; for example, when they chant "SKINNER". How can we help our goalie especially, to dissociate from all that negative/distracting energy?
Picard needs the net back. Skinner is just terrible. And Bouchard is playing for the other team all season. Sit him in the press box. Give away leading to goals every game.
Start pickard! This is 3 years in a row now that stu has had to find his game Ridiculous. Stu is young. Its a lot to handle. Pickard is the obvious option
Breaking news.. it's official…signed by Bettman and entered into the hall of records as well as the Pro Hockey Dictionary of Phrases and Sayings….whenever Skinner and Bouchard are jointly responsible for the dumbest preventable goal, we now call that a Stu-Bou! 🤣 Oh oh, I feel a Stu-Bou comin' on. 🤪
Wow, it seems Edmonton fans are totally "in the now" with their thoughts? I mean, it seems like yesterday that a gimme in their arsenal was, when in doubt, take a penalty. The Kings couldn't score on their wives. I guess I must begrudgingly admit that Adding Kuzmenko was a terrific move my blake. Perhaps he can leave his surfboard dug into the sands off Manhattan Beach?
Kris stop going nuclear option. In game 1 after Mcdavid made an incredible goal to tie it you use nuclear. You could have sent fresh legs out there. Bouchard made many costly mistakes like blindly passing the puck backhands to nowhere in the D and the KINGS feasted. Or Bouch failed to box out their D with 40 something seconds left only for them to score the winner 6-5. Bouch is a problem. Start Cam DINEEN instead of JOSH BROWN who was in Nomands zone grey area when kings scored 1st goal. Why is Josh Brown being used. Use CAM DINEEN. Start PICKARD! Go oilers!
Bouchard no look passes are BRUTAL., his lack of effort while watching kings come right to the net then pretend to realize but feign efforts of to far away for him to try . serious liability more — goals against Are CONSTANTLY 85% ALL BECAUSE OF BOUCHARD (LAZINESS OR HIM PLAYING FOR OPPOSITE TEAM ) . TEAM LOSSES BECAUSE OF BOUCHARD . PICKS NEEDS TO BE THE STARTING GOALIE FROM HERE ON OUT UNTIL HE GETS TIRED . BOUCHARD MOVED TO SECOND D LINE AND LESS ICE MINS –WAY LESS ICE Time .
Skinner is just not a good goalie – he is often out of position/too slow to slide across the crease and ends up costing the team easy goals. Bouchard just panics and throws the puck away trying to dump it to McDavid regardless if it’s a good time to do so or not. As an oilers fan, these two are going to cost us

Damn, no sweep of the kings.
I sure hope, i am able to say "we can do it in 5 again" after the next one.

Pickard has been the better goalie this season, he's earned the right to start. I don't understand why they didn't go with him game 1.
Wanted the guys to win but great come back! Skinner needs to be better in net. So I think for a moment they forgot they were in the playoffs.
Overrated HC Mcdrai making him look good last year and now his ego is taking over making horrible line combos.
Put in picks Knobgoblin
series is not safe for la, lucky flop shot,,,, am not counting oil out…
You will never be a winner with Skinner
Get your winning fix with my man Picks
Hey….average fan here….I wondered if you still had a time out when you tied the game up…..
Pickard better get the start give skinner a game at home
Dont start skinner game 2 would be a smart choice
Park that bum Bouchard, fml I’m sick of his turnovers costing goals

Sit Bouchard and add Klingberg would be an asset to the team. That will stop Bouchard getting assits against us. Sorry I had to say it
Give pucks a game, it’s still early and he might be excellent. Waiting around on skinner for even 3 games is a season over.
Picks is not perfect, but I have way more faith in him keeping it
To 2-3 ga.
Remind La Bouche to stay present.
I conclude that Oilers can beat LA kings -just need them more focus ,defensive,and follow up shot! We believe Oilers can do it!
Should have used the Timeout after it was 5-5, to settle things down.

Start pickard! This is 3 years in a row now that stu has had to find his game Ridiculous. Stu is young. Its a lot to handle. Pickard is the obvious option
Once again Skinner ruined the party. Start Picks next game.
Roll pickard for the rest of the playoffs, skinner cant play 🎉 enough is enough. Remember what the definition of insanity is
Bouchard's new official nickname….Bouchard the Baker. He bakes more turnovers than Tim Hortons.

BECAUSE OF BOUCHARD (LAZINESS OR HIM PLAYING FOR OPPOSITE TEAM ) . TEAM LOSSES BECAUSE OF BOUCHARD .
PICKS NEEDS TO BE THE STARTING GOALIE FROM HERE ON OUT UNTIL HE GETS TIRED .
BOUCHARD MOVED TO SECOND D LINE AND LESS ICE MINS –WAY LESS ICE Time .
