@Edmonton Oilers

What allowed Oilers to take over this series?



The Oilers defeated the Kings for the fourth straight game and sent them packing from the playoffs for the fourth straight year. TSN Hockey analyst Frankie Corrado joins SC with Jay Onrait to share his thoughts on Game 6 and how Edmonton turned around the series.

  1. The Ref's gave Edmonton the series so many non calls makes me sick to see one sided refereeing !!!!!!

  2. There are a million reasons why the Kings blew it and Edmonton came back. But if you’re looking for key moments that could be defined as “turning points”, then I think you HAVE to consider what was one of the most bone-headed challenges to have ever been made that the Kings did near the end of game 3 after Edmonton tied it. Directly led to them losing that game and they never won another game after. Edmonton has their confidence back in full and LA kept losing theirs.

  3. Oilers fan here, but the Oilers defence can't play like they did this game going forward or it'll be a sweep

  4. Craig Buttons is clearly in hiding with his pick of the Kings winning the series fairly easily as he said.

    I suppose will see him next week with more bad picks

  5. What happened to the Kings ?? Game three the Oilers inserted Evander Kane, Trent Frederic and Calvin Pickard. Thats what happened . Size, physical play and better goaltending then they had got in games one and two.

  6. Where is all the LA in 4 people? Hearing nothing but crickets now?Mabey they where confused with oiler beating them 4 times? Mabey that's the 4 they where talking about?

  7. I'll tell you what didn't; The Refs. The Refs in this series were awful. At times it benefited the Oilers sure. But 90% of it was in favor of LA. I mean FFS they Flattened our goalie in front of the Linesman and a Ref and somehow didn't get a penalty FFS

  8. I didn't watch the series, but how do you mention a whole series and never mention the number one goalie once? Didn't skinner let in 11 goals in the first two? Was the goalie change not a factor at all? Just curious, but I thought letting in 11 goals was bad.

  9. Not sure why anyone thought the kings would win the series. Kings have played their style for last few seasons then in the playoffs they can't duplicate it.

  10. If the Oilers or Knights play as bad as they did in rd 1 , then they'll lose rd 2 . I give a slight edge to Vegas in net and maybe overall . Vegas in 7 JUST because !

  11. Vegas barely got by minnesota. EDM plays woth a decent pace and yeah so what edmonton has to lose a couple first to reverse sweep the team.

  12. The Oilers, plain and simple, wanted it more. They were prepared to play a series, not simply a continuation of the regular season. They averaged 5 goals a game over 6 games, allowing 4 (Apparently you can do that). They won 4 consecutive games, including all their games played at home. They refused to quit after two losses in Los Angeles, travelling back to Edmonton to snatch Game 3 and 4, and the series momentum. They beat the Kings in Game 5, in Los Angeles, despite Wil Ferrell and the Korean Harmonicists. And then they came back to Edmonton, and won Game 6 for themselves, and their fans. No rest, no let-up. And no ads, either. Thanks for posting.

  13. I notice TSN always have some sort of hate towards the Oilers never giving them props unless they have no choice to
    probably because McDavid isn't playing for Toronto maple leafs .🤔

  14. This is way more on the Kings for being clowns than the Oilers. Knoblauch didn't do anything special this series except sit back and watch Hiller self implode the team with his historically awful decisions.
