Oilers have had a lot of looks at Korp this year. Whether they finally cracked that nut or it was just a bad outing (everyone's gonna have em) will be shown on Saturday. Going to be a long 3 days.

A couple of the goals given up were due to lucky bounces. Copley almost catches the one shot just before it goes off Anderson's skate and the Hyman goal where it is deflected off his face/mouth.

That being said, the Kings defensive zone coverage needs to due a helluva lot better in Game 6 and the Kings need to not take dumb penalties (Fiala)

Hopefully the Kings put in Clarke for Game 6.

Love the Kings but they seem to have just given up after game 4. Oilers are playing hungry and the Kings are taking penalties which pretty much means that will be a goal for Edmonton.

I will say though I find it funny now how Oilers fans are all fine with the refs especially game 4 which the refs were letting Edmonton get away with almost everything but not the Kings and not 1 Oiler fan said anything about the officiating. When it goes their way it is all good. But when it doesn't then it is always the refs. That's why I hope they get eliminated next round.

Neither team lost because of refs in any game. the Kings played way to much let them come at us defense and it cost them two games in a row. the only way to defend the oilers is from there zone. The Oilers outplayed us just about every game... As much as it hurts the right team is winning. Hope we change that Saturday and earn two victories.

I never once complained about the referees and frankly I find it embarrassing since every team gets bad calls and I feel that if your worthy of a Stanley Cup you should be able to overcome a few missed calls or rather not be in a position where it breaks you.
Your last comment is ridiculous, as all fan bases do this, and there hasn’t been a single Kings fan come out and say that they got an undeserved win due to calls going their way. Get off your high horse. You’re not special.
