What happened in Game 1 and why does it matter for Game 2?
Hey, it's Bob Stoffer. I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to Oilers Now ad-free on Amazon Music, included with Prime.
Welcome everybody, Bob Stoffer, joining you live from Crypto.com Arena as we set the stage for game number two, opening round playoff series. The Edmonton Otters for the fourth consecutive year taking on the Los Angeles Kings. The Kings uh dominated the first 39 minutes of game number one, built up a 4-0 lead, and then the most dynamic player that we've ever seen in the game, Connor McDavid, literally carried. His team back into the fight, put up a goal, three assists. We got to five five. And Philip Deneau, who has quickly become a little bit of a thorn in the Oilers side, uh scored on a knuckle puck after a blown assignment by the Oilers. Maybe a play that you'd like to see a save from LA up one-nothing.
And this is not uncommon in this matchup over the course of the last four years. Three previous years, the Oilers won in seven. The Oilers won in six. The Oilers won in five. The LA Kings in the first year won game one. In the second year of the matchup, the LA Kings were up two games to one. In fact, on this very date, two years ago, LA led Ebenton two games to one and were up three-nothing after game uh three-nothing after the first period in game four. And the Oilers were on the road. Ropes and we will quickly take you down a little bit of a trip of memory lane.
Bouchard high slot, Nugent Hopkins open dishing. What time of score? This game is tied. Leon Dryside a power play goal. 10.5 left in the period. And Edmonton has come all the way back. To tie game four at three. Center pass back here score. Kings regain the lead 4-3. Now in across the line, McDavid shot. Score! This game is tied of Vander Kane!
How did the Oilers rally after falling behind 4‑0 in the first period?
The equalizer with 3-0-2 to play. Deadlocked at 4. Edmonton has never led. Hyman left wing for the win. He shoots and scores! Zach Hyman, this game is over! This series is tied! Five-four Edmonton in overtime!
Well the LA King fans will talk about the miracle on Manchester. And tonight the oilers have got the comeback at crypto.com.
