1. Klinger played well enough, made some good defensive reads to break up LA's cycle. Never forget that LA is fragile too and the oilers live rent free in there heads lol. Yes the first goal is huge and will be again tonight. frederic has got to hit the net man 😂. Kane will be even more ready. the real test is whether nurse, bouch and wallman can limit thier mistakes. Pickard should start and I hope he does he earned it. Go Oilers Go!

2. Have fun at the game tonight!! GO OILERS GO 👍🏒👍🏒👍🏒👍🏒4-3 oilers in OT

3. Fellow kings fans, I cannot stress how helpful just going outside can be to clear your mind. I can’t remember the last time I was huffing and puffing the way I was after that coach’s challenge, but taking a late night drive almost instantly made me feel a lot better.

   Just DO NOT STAY IN YOUR ROOM.

4. Austin, enjoy the game. I've been to playoff hockey and there's nothing like it. I was at what is called the Stunner At Staples as part of the Kings upsetting Detroit way back in 2001.

   Appreciate the respect you gave the Kings, but i think the momentum carries and the Oilers bust it wide open today. It'll take the Kings regrouping at home to salvage the series.

   That's just my prediction. Last change had a big impact and should again. I definitely will hope to be wrong but i call it as i see it.

   Again, no matter what, enjoy playoff hockey.

5. Enjoy the game tonight! Let’s go Oilers!

6. LA is a garbage team with garbage players who get garbage goals and garbage saves.

   If the Oiler players can manage to keep their sticks out of the way of oncoming shots, so as to allow the goalie to make the save, they will be fine.

7. 8-6 (1 empty net) OILERS RAHHHHHHHHHHHHH LET CARNAGE REIGN IN ROGERS PLACE TONIGHT

8. Enjoy the game!!
   As always, thanks again for your service, good sir.
   Well appreciated.
   Stay positive and LET'S GO OILERS!!

9. Just another Kings fan that would like to give respect to Austin Hockey.

   This show is passionate in terms of the love towards Edmonton, which is natural and expected. I'm the same with my Kings but what is so refreshing is how you break down a more truthful perspective of the games and represent a Razor Sharp angle in your comments towards both sides. Well Done Sir!

   But of course you have a bias to the Oilers and its nice to hear your passion but you are rooted in reality, which has made for very enjoyable listens during this match up.

   Also kudos my friend, you Actually know the Kings players Names. Most platforms only know their players names and the rest are "those", "their" hockey player comments. This is always frustrating because it showcases they don't have a strong perspective of Hockey beyond their own team.

   Again Kudos to knowing Hockey in General! 👌

   Have a great time at the game tonight…Good Luck, but GKG!! 😉😂🏒

10. I am a Kings fan.
    I think the Kings will win tonight and I really based that on because I think they are a better team overall meaning we have more skilled players throughout the entire lineup. And there's no way I can take away the fact that Edmonton has two of the best players playing in the league today. But when you look at the Kings lineup from top to bottom and our goaltender the king statistically should win the game. Thanks for another great video I enjoy watching them. I agree with most of your comments. Yes and that was definitely a bone-headed call by our HC

11. The oilers came back last year from being down 3 to 0, in order to come back is the goaltending. Start Skinner we lose, put Pickard in. Really doesnt matter you you put in our goalies are both inconsistent.

12. I think it's the team isn't confident in Stu compared to Pickard. Can Stu be better than Pickard? Absolutely, but he's not consistent and Pickard is more consistent.

13. Daily Face-off has Pickard confirmed starter 1049am PST.

14. Have fun at the game Austin! Remember to take pictures and video for later.

    Oilers win tonight and LA is SWEATING going home for game 5.

    LETS GO OILERS!!!

15. Hope Sportnset does a zoomin on you tonight! Subcaption: "The Absolute Best Oilers fan made media"

16. whenever i predict us to win, we lose. So, i predict 7-5 LA wins. Brownie with a hatty tho
    players to watch: kempe, and kaner

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

18. If they start Skinner over Pickard this run is done and knobby has some explaining to do.

19. Stop Kempe = Oilers win. Let’s go!

20. “We want Hiller!” LMFAO!!!!

21. 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

22. 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!!!

23. Surprising team LA Kings

24. 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. 😂😂😂😂

25. Let’s go Austin!! We counting on you for cheering them on for us buddy 🎉 in Austin we trust 🫡

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

28. 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!

29. 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.

30. 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.

31. 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.

32. 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!!!!!!

33. Any golie is better than skinnner

34. Must win for both teams imo. GKG
