NHL Game 3 Highlights | Oilers vs. Kings - April 21, 2023 

I think these two teams are so evenly matched. Whoever can stay out of the penalty box is the one that will win this series

Уровень мастерства зашкаливает ! Потрясающая игра !

That Kempe goal at 3:59 was a thing of beauty, what a play

korppi is playing so damn well and i love it.

Wow the two youngsters Byfield and Vilardi are gonna be so inspired knowing they can go out and make a difference!

Beautiful effort from Korpi. Happy to finally see McDavid get his points in the playoffs.

Adrian Kempe is a actual monster! 3 key goals in 3 games!

As my team out, the pens, of all series, this one the most exciting so far. It’s close, tight games going to the end where 2 goal leads don’t mean a thing.

Korpi needs to be signed quick👑

Several years ago, the NHL wanted to get more scoring. Stricter infractions were enforced, no more hooking, holding, etc, which seemingly improved scoring. Combined with faster skating players, faster shots, and several other things. From a spectator point of view, more skills showcased...bravo. With the enforcement of infractions much stricter, the league has created many more special teams situations. Statistically, there are teams in your league with 40% of their goals being scored via power play situations. While this has created more goals being generated, it is changing the face of the core of teams. Teams are now being built specifically around out numbered situations. It once seemed that the team with the best goalie won, now it's evolving to the team with the best power play wins. In a game that once had a league champion nicknamed ‘The Broadstreet Bullies”, obviously it has changed dramatically. The stricter enforcement of infractions has also created a new dilemma: player uncertainty and inconsistent officiating. Because of these evolving rules, players seem uncertain what exactly is an enforceable infraction, which has the officials calling or not calling infractions determining the outcomes of games. Is this what the NHL and their board of governors is attempting to create or is it just the evolution of a sport that is increasingly getting faster and more skilled? WIth the current speed of the game, is it truly possible to skate backwards as fast as someone skating forward without having any other options at slowing them down without taking a penalty? With the older rules that were not as strict, an attacking player could expect to get hooked, held, slashed, or actually hammered with a bodycheck which, while play a bit slower, was likely a deterrent to just charging straight up the center of the ice and having the other team commit an infraction that could lead to a goal more than 30% of the time. With these rules constantly evolving, players seem uncertain which minor contact will result in a penalty, and with penalties being at the digression of the referees, it creates a playing environment where only the fastest players have the greatest effect on their teams. Penalties calls have way too much gray area allowing for way too much inconsistency from game to game. Since the introduction of replays being used for an off ice official to view under certain instances, maybe the league should consider an off ice team to review penalties or lack thereof to make the game more even for all teams. If a call is missed on ice, an off ice team could alert the arena officials, make there correct call, and reset times as is done when a goal is scored, called incorrectly by the on-ice officiating staff, and subsequently corrected. Instead of having groups of 2 officials in every game being relied upon to call the games consistently, have one person make/correct on ice calls. It is not as inviting of a sport when the officiating weighs a lot more in deciding the outcome of hockey games. Something needs to change…

That’s some good hockey right there!

Хорошая игра Кингс🏒💥💥💥,заслуженная победа

Very close series so far. Fun to watch

both teams were phenomenal

Hey Alexa...play "I Love LA" by Randy Newman.

McDavid standing around as usual on the winning goal

Saw some great stuff from Byfield all game and just hoping Fiala gets healthy

Hold your head up high Skinner! You played a great game!

As long as we can keep at least one of them off the scoresheet McDavid and Draisaitl don't seem to be clicking in the same game -yet. So far so good. G K G

WOOOW what a game. This has been an incredible series! Wouldn’t mind seeing this go the full 7 games.

Brilliantly played🙌

Korpi is the series mpv so far. Also Nurse left his guy wide open on the gamewinner

Since McDavid can so easily and automatically hit those corners at the top of the net, I'd think maybe when the goalies see he's the guy with the puck they'd stay on their feet. As soon as they go down, the corners are open for an easy shot. This is a case where they might reverse the conventional wisdom and make him beat you down low, because with the goalie pads and all the other players' feet in the way, the bottom will still be fairly covered, and by standing up you might be able to take away the top corners. He still might score, and there's a good chance of a deflection, but you cover more of the net and it wouldn't be just giving him a free shot.

Getting mad and taking stupide penalties ? Man your better then that !!!!! Just play your game and don't let them get in your head.

Lmao the jump cut the high stick on the OT goal

Kings wins!!!!!! Корписало конечно красаУчег.Любят короли поиграть на нервах болельщиков.С победой!!!!!

McDavid floating around up top, shocker. Only points on PP all series and -3.

Well palyede team and Incredible performance 🔥🔥

Beautiful effort

Wow, great game! As an Avs fan, I sometimes focus on just my team's games, but this one was a corker.

Wooow what a game

Back in the day a penalty in overtime was unheard of almost, nevermind it being your first 2 wins in your playoffs

Love this sport.

До сих пор не понимаю почему фаворит был именно Эдмонтон в этой паре .команды + - равные . Но я в этой паре за 👑 одна из самых горячих пар первого раунда . Мак никогда не возьмет кубок Стэнли пока играет в Эдмонтоне .

Beautiful game play everyone

Great efforts 👏

Great finish having the kids Byfield and Vilardi on the ice sealing the victory. Good job by the officials tonight too.

Поздравляю Kings с победой!!!

Both teams are amazing

Love this amazing game ❤

Nurse on that o.t goal 😂😂😂 worth every penny

молодцы короли!!!Карпи вообще красава!!!очень повезло королям что у них такой вратарь!!!с победой короче королей!!!молодцы!

McDavid never met a defensive situation he ever liked 😛

Beautiful, sweet, incredible...

Amazing skills

Go Kings Go!

Beautiful shot

Wonderful team effort

McDavid needs to tighten up defensively. He learned how to shoot from Matthews... maybe he can learn how to play defense from him as well. Love his offense, but if his goal is to win a cup, he needs to play 200 feet! Watch Kopitar... he could score 100 points, but sacrifices some offense in order to win.

Good playing both teams 😃

Wow what a great performance 👏👏👏

It would be great if Nuge, Hyman, and Kane would contribute something else besides taking stupid penalties this series..

Draisaitl can't give the refs any reason to call more questionable penalties.

Well played ❤

Where can I go to see Nuge's OT penalty? I didn't see it when I watched live and I don't see it in these highlights.

So proud of my Kings.

So far Korpisao's been stealing games for the Kings. Got to hand it to him for holding off the McDavid Draisaitl juggernaut.

High speed and good short

What a game

How do you lose with McDavid on your team? answer: Nurse

Love this game❤

What a play

The better team won. If the Oilers don't win with their deadly PP they have little chance 5 on 5

SPORTSNET: can you please show one of the crucial penalty situations!

Very Good Performance both Team

Love how the refs called everything in this game except the high stick that led to the final goal. New refs next game please.

Apparently the concept of gravity isn’t taught in Alberta schools. Now you understand why we refer to them as Canada’s Texas. 😂

Fantastic goal

Love this amazing game

Great team work 💪

Good work

Kings will win this series

After further review, the puck did not conclusively hit the stick. We have a good goal by former Toronto Maple Leafs player Trevor Moore.

Outstanding performance 👍👍 Great skills and performance

Amazing performance

For the kings to win without their best player is insane.

2 goals on 40 shots really says so much. Especially from a team that didnt have any problems scoring during the regular season. Edmonton is always their own worst enemy when it comes to playoff hockey. Hate to say it but they'll be out in 6.

Nurse looking like flailing pylon as usual

Let’s go Oilers!!! Bring on game 4!!! We can do this!!!👊👊

Beautiful match

Good performance by both team 🤞💯

Ай да короли! Ай да красавцы! Сделали субботу и подняли настроение!!!

Lol, oilers can't win in ot unless mcjesus has 3 on 3

Great team work 👏

Refs, kempe and korpisallo vs Edmonton

Another excellent Kings win!!!!!!

Great play

Very good performance of both team

Kings looking Awesome ! As long as time is on that clock you will never see this team give up ! Kings are firing on all cylinders ! Oilers looking for any excuse to have that goal taken off the board ! Tell these guys to grow up and take the loss like Men ! Kings were the better team, Plain and Simple ! Let's Go Kings, You Got This !

looks like the warm weather in LA made the puck change direction on the gwg, damn that warm weather......horrible refing tonight for both team, just weak man

If it weren't for power plays the Oilers would be the worst team in the league.

Well played 🙌

Another year, another early playoff exit for the coilers 😂😂😂.

Man Oilers fans haven't gotten any better at handling losses since the WCF, always a ref to blame and not your team who hasn't learned to do the little things it takes to win tight checking playoff games. Danault, Doughty and Kopitar are serving up a masterclass on how to compete in a series even if you are out talented

great play

Just wow 😳😳😳

Thank you Kings for making this an exciting series!

What a goal

Did no one else notice the person whistling at 0:50, I heard them on the broadcast all game. When the oilers where coming across the blue line someone in the crowd was doing a loud whistle, imitating a refs whistle for an offside. How doesn't that person get kicked out or the kings get a bench minor for their fans actively trying to disrupt play all game long? What a joke of a fan.

NO TEAM WILL WIN the GAME IF the REFS are FAVOR to the OTHER TEAM.....IMAGINE 5 OILERS PLAYERS COMPARE to 7 KINGS PLAYERS INCLUDING 2 REFS, TSK! 😮‍💨🙄🙄🥵
