LA needs to stop getting penalties, the goalie can't play the 5th man on the ice and tend goal. Oilers have a good power play, LA seems to think they are going to muscle the Oilers.

[@chrislow4362]

You can't stop McDavid. You can try...but he's on a mission

[@eternalstormz8025]

Bro can film a video anywhere

[@Stefan-rk6vl]

We all want to secretly work on a boat

[@PoolNoodleGundam]

Probably not. Oilers feast on Rittich like I feast on fried chicken. It's not pretty.

[@danielnam9026]

Oilers will light him up anyway. Rittich isn’t the difference maker in the series.

[@jpowell36294]

Have they not seen what happened to Rittich after he did the stick toss in Calgary? 😅

[@forfuxakes6814]

LA is using the same goalie tandem that brought the fLames so much heartbreak Talbot and Red Light🤣😂😭 Play either one,LA is done,it’s all over but the crying 😭😭😭👶

[@ryandymond2195]

It’s crazy how despite letting in 6 goals, Talbot had +2.49 GSAx. This is proof that Talbot isn’t the only problem and goes to show just how badly the Kings were outplayed by the Oilers. The Oilers had 8.49 expected goals, the Kings had 2.17. In fact, if you look at Talbot’s GSAx for the whole series so far, you’ll see that he hasn’t been as bad as his .861 Sv% would suggest. He has a +0.2 GSAx in games 1, 2 and 3. So basically the reason why Talbot’s save percentage is so bad is because of bad defence by the Kings. Playing against one of the best offensive teams doesn’t help.

As an Oilers fan I have to say Kempe might be the most underrated player in the NHL. For 3 years in a row every time he has the puck I'm terrified he's going to score. So I guess I can't imagine what it's like for Kings fans every time Mcdavid or Draisaitl have the puck lol

[@lowtierduster-7254]

me too man, kempe is def our our biggest problem

[@danielnam9026]

Playing Rittich isn’t going to solve anything. You might as well tell Talbot to stay home and enjoy the early vacation.

[@timcarruthers2372]

If you remember back to the start of the season, it still drives me nuts, Stewart Skinner had a very similar save percentage. If the team is being dominated the goalie can’t do it alone. I like Cam, there are times I wish he was still an oiler. I think he kept the game a lot closer than some nhl goalies would have. Support the guy, encourage the player and wait for next year. Do you know how many next years we’ve had to wait for next year. I know your pain.

[@tristincrowley8458]

Is talbot really the problem? Lmao

[@MattAlbie]

In favour of a guy who doesn't know Drai's one timer like the back of his hand? It'll just be worse.

[@chrisbecker1846]

McDavid pulls multiple defenders his way, which opens Hyman up. Hyman doesn't stay in one place and so when McDavid looks like he could dance past 1, 2, or 3 guys, the guy defending Hyman has already lost him making sure he doesn't have to prevent McDavid a clear path to the net.

[@jasonknoblauch1665]

OILERS had talbot as a goalie for a few years so we know how he works, the kings I notice plays dirty. Very happy the refs where on a canadian teams side for once. The kings will probably come back strong next game. Just as long as they play hockey and not a bar brawl. I feel sorry for the kings fans. Their team should not act like this in front of the home crowd. They game to watch a team play hockey.

[@waynerobinson7057]

I don’t think the goalie isn’t the problem.

[@LARGO125]

Talbot the problem? No. I think the 5+ pp's per game and the 40ish shots per game they're allowing might be part of the problem. You give the Oilers those types of shots i dont care if its Shesterkin, Vasilevski, Demko or Swayman in net. You can't beat the Oilers with that roadmap.

[@wvknn2709]

It's not goaltending from kings it's just poor play in general. They're being out classes on and off the ice. Can't keep their cool at all.

[@Squishysforbreakfast]

They melted down when Kane scored tbh.

[@timbretrent113]

The series would be 2 to 1 Oilers even if the Kings had prime Dominik Hasek in net...

[@classic.cameras]

What kind of engine is that besides monstrously huge!?!

[@BrandonFesler]

It’s the Oilers power play.

[@13raden]

[@FFSRay_Sens_Analysis]

Ottawa tried to warn them 🤷‍♂️

[@elizabethmarkoe7776]

Well then look at your defense men not blame it on your goalie 3:06 😊😊

[@markthomas3730]

what about samsonov !!

[@jamesruscheinski8602]

need something more, can try?

[@richhustle2024]

No , but should give rittich a chance to save the team.. on g4

[@jeniasmackay7931]

Oilers just too good

[@halcyon-cg2eb]

Yes, doesn't matter who is in Loss Angeles goal 🤣😂

[@Squishysforbreakfast]

Cant blame the loss on Talbot when theres multiple 5 on 3s. Kings need to stop with the dirty plays and focus on getting a lead on Oilers. Kings can't play from behind very well.

[@elizabethmarkoe7776]

You need defense men not a gwoalie replacement

[@JonesTonesGuitar]

Oilers offence is way too deep for L.A……as an oilers fan I HATED when Talbot played for us. Nice guy though..lol😂

[@48Ghostrider_]

Rob Blake needs to be replaced. Gave away impact players for Dubois. Killed moral

[@dominickefrim3088]

I wouldn't call it a bench. I'd give him a rest and try something different. We are only down 2-1. Not the last time that happened in tge playoffs...🙄

[@medhatshaun8660]

It’s beautiful how the Oilers are destroying the 1-3-1.

[@loganguilbault269]

Honestly wild they just post a guy near the attacking blueline and make a quick transition pass up to him and they get behind all 3 in the middle.

[@medhatshaun8660]

Seems like the last game they were slowing it down and crashing thr line together, banking it off thr boards then racing around the screen. Seemed to work.

[@DEFBOY35]

The best player on the kings these last 3 games has been Talbot.

[@paules0099]

Talbot is not the problem, the 18 skaters are the problem. It doesn't matter who's in goal, if the defense is not there and if they keep coughing up the puck and taking penalties, they're done!

[@tamatb]

1:33 Don't forgot, Talbot won the OT game！HE best the Oilers！

[@ColtTravis]

It doesn't matter what the Kings do. The only thing that can stop the Edmonton Oilers now is the Edmonton Oilers. Real Oilers fans know what I mean. 🤫

[@tomschmitz1799]

Bench? No Talbot has played alright, giving Ritich game four smells of desperation. The kings should be desperate, the Oilers are just plain better than them.

[@TheKisj]

There's nothing wrong with Talbot, it's the defence, LA has become the oilers at this point when it comes to defence, and believe me, having no real defensive structure sucks.

[@JRHockeyTV]

🎉Go bruins 🎉

[@schustererik83]

my team benched and traded him,
