  1. Oilers need to stay out of the Penalty box.. This series has been decided on special teams.

  2. Pickard showed up and showed out, he was faster and more engaged than skinner was in the first two

    Most of the goals skinner let in seemed he was a beat or two too slow to make the save

    Possible that skinner reaggravated his late season injuiry in game one or two and that’s why he was on the slower side

    Pickard knows his place while skinner strays from the net SO MUCH

  3. I think the team will always support Skinner, but I think the way things have going and all the injuries and how fragile things are…. I’m glad pickard is starting. ! Have fun at the game!!!

  4. Oilers can win the cup if you donate a Rally Car Subaru, a Le Mans Race car Ferrari P4 330, and a gaming race simulator for PS5. 😂😂😂😂

  5. Austin you’ve converted so many of us kings fan, love your passion for your team, but also your realistic analysis

  6. If Stetcher is good to go he should play imo. Hes a much smarter player than Emberson. He hustles and rarely makes mistakes, covers his man in the front always! Also, JSkinner or Jones should play in place of Frederic who's not 100%. They both are healthier and quicker skaters, especially on the forecheck, Skinner potentially can provide scoring too!

  7. Austin getting love from LA! Bunch of us in LA appreciate what you're doing here bud. I'm a LA season ticket holder and see Zach Dooley @ games all the time, going to get in his ear about you. Maybe some cross team/boarder exchange … if for no other reason to piss of the clowns in DC.

  8. I don't think think this team can go deep without a Frederic type in the lineup. He looked better in game 3 than game 2. The truth is, he needs the reps. I hate it but there's no place for Skinner in the bottom 6. Scoring hasn't really been our problem. Our bottom 6 has scored in all 3 games. That's all you should be able to expect from your bottom 6.

  9. Lines look ok my only change would have been to elevate Kane up to the 2nd line since he's bounced back so fast and move Podkolzin to 3rd line possibly.
    Kane deserves a shot with Draisaitl plus the Kings have been playing dirty against Drai so Kane can set them straight if they get too rough on Drai.

  10. Really glad we're sticking with Pickard in net, that's the right move. You ALWAYS play the winning goalie!! Needless to say, this is another huge game tonight. It's imperative that we even this series heading back to LA, and we'll need a big effort, especially on defence and in net. Hope you have a wonderful time there tonight, Austin!! Be sure to cheer loud and proud!!! LET'S GO OILERS!!!!!!

    Edit: Forgot my prediction!! I'll say 6-0 Oilers. Going to dominate tonight!!!!!!

  11. Rrally hope the boys win this one for you for all Oilers fans 🙏. Still not happy that Jeff Skinner is benched for another game, dude worked so hard for this opportunity. I'm glad Pickard gets a second start, like Knoblauch said he can make the clutch saves when needed to keep the team in it. PTW: McDavid, Draisaitl, and Kane. McDavid is McDavid. Draisaitl got absolutely robbed by Kuemper in Game 3, I think he gets his revenge this game. Kane seems to be back to his playoff form, looking for another big goal. Oilers 9-4. Crazy prediction I know but this series has just been so unhinged and high scoring that there is a possibility this happens.

  12. The Oilers need to play every game like a must win, if they take their foot off the gas they'll get smoked. Glad Pickard is starting, they'll need him to be at his best tonight. Go Oilers 👍

  13. 0:47 This game for the Oilers is pretty much a must-win because going down 3–1 likely will mean they won’t win more than two games in that playoff series. coming back from a 3-2 series deficit is one thing, but if it’s 3–1 or 3-0, such a comeback is unlikely.

  14. Arvidsson is too small and doesn’t have the strength to stay on his skates! We need a player like Rempe or Brazeau in his place not saying those 2 players specifically I’m saying a type of those 2 players
