from Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal,

Two minutes after LA Kings’ winger Tyler Toffoli made like Brett Hull, lacing a 25-footer under the crossbar after spinning away from a check, halfway through the first period Tuesday, Edmonton Oilers’ goalie Viktor Fasth went to the bench and then to the safety of the dressing room, hobbled by a sore groin. Most likely that wasn’t the only body part hurting a proud guy, but at least Fasth wasn’t put through 60 minutes of a nightmarish show.

There was no “we were in the fight” quote from coach Dallas Eakins after this one. The Oilers flat-out didn’t compete; they were like Wal-Mart greeters in the first period and into the early part of the second, waving the Kings in and asking if they could help them find anything The Kings didn’t any help finding the net. For a time it looked like it might rival the 11-0 decimation by the Hartford Whalers in 1984, but the Oilers dug in a bit and wouldn’t let the Stanley Cup champions hit double figures. But make no mistake, this was a subterranian low.
