The Oilers fired 45 shots at Darcy Kuemper and managed to get two past him plus an empty netter in their 3-1 win over the Kings. How were the Oilers able to solve Darcy Kuemper? How impressive has Calvin Pickard been? TSN Oilers reporter Ryan Rishaug joins SC with Jay Onrait to discuss.

If anything Kuemper was close to solving Oilers? The first games he got lit up, only issue is Skinner got even more lit up lol. Now Kuemper suddenly becomes a wall only letting 2 in 40+ shots.
Kuemper not solved, the team in front of him was. Then you just gotta get good quantity and quality shots on him. Looks like Oil coaches figured a scheme to move it quickly thru neutral zone, not letting Kings set up their 3-2 behind the red line.
Game 6 is next and oilers must win this one. Play your best game. Kings are coming hard. Play offensive and be good in defence. Never give them time to shoot stay focused. No sloppy plays.
Let’s see. Out shooting them almost 3 to 1 helped. Keeping them from a shot on net for the first 10 minutes helped….. not a huge mystery. Kuemper was unbelievable but in the end some had to go in!
As a goalie let me tell you folks, Edmonton didn't "solve" Kuemper, they laid an overwhelming beat down on the team in front of him and kept firing grade A chances until they finally slipped a couple by.
They definitely haven’t. With enough brute force you can score on anyone and that’s what the oilers have been doing
They didn't exactly solve him, he stopped 46 goals
Solve Kuemper? In what world is 3 goals on 45 shots "solved"? Hes the only one actually trying to win this series anymore for LA.
Being 1 guy vesus 5 is probably one of the reasons. Kings are slow, tired, and humiliated
brain dead title.
"Edmonton's Bureau chief from Edmonton's bureau" because that sounds more professional than 'Shaugers Basement' Hahaha kidding
It's all love. Made me chuckle 😂😂
Ref's gave this game and last too Edmonton, The League wants Edmonton to win the cup so they will make it happen RIGGED!!!!!! all the way!!!!!!!
The oilers did not solve Kuemper lol they solved everyone except Kuemper. He stood on his head in the OT period and the entirety of game 5
No they didn’t solve Kuemper. 2/45 is not a solution. They avoided the problem by not letting the Kings score.
They didn't solve it at all, otherwise, it would be 6:1
OILERS IN 6
20 high danger shots, an average tender would have let 6-7 go by. Kuemper stood on his head.
Imagine if LA had Skinner and Edmonton had Darcy
As an Edmonton fan… I feel like he is the only one that the Oilers haven’t solved.
You guys need to worry about Toronto trying to solve ullmarkj
Oilers exhausted him out by hitting the puck as much and as hard as they can…
I’m old enough the remember when Dallas and Colorado ate the oilers playoff lunch every first round through the mid to late 90’s…feels good to be on the winning side.
Wouldn’t say he was solved.
Kings are facing elimination
