Oilers 3, Kings 0

Andrew Cogliano just scored the easiest goal ever. Erik Ersberg blocked a shot and was out in front of the right side of the goal. He blocked the shot and bent over to haul in what he thought was the puck, but it had trickled out and away in front of the net. Cogliano was inexplicably all by himself in front of the net and he easily scored with no one - Ersberg included - within the same zip code to challenge him.

TM is a BAAAAAAAAD coach.

The 2nd shift of the game - POS-Fro-Simmonds, were cycling the puck perfectly. They were in the oliers zone for almost a minute.
How are they rewarded. The next shift Frolov is off that line.
The kopi line is a joke again.

Yes. TM is a Bad coach.
I feel sorry for the team.
I feel sorry for the players.
I feel sorry for the organziation.
Most of all I feel sorry for the fans, who are forced to deal with this guy.
I fear that Kopi and Brown will not score another goal this season.

So much for the great Swedish goalie experiment. Granted the Kings played poor defensively in the 1st, but that third goal brought back the days of Cloutier in all his glory.

Nice going, losers!
