Yeah, especially because the Kings came pretty close in each of the last two series.

Agreed. The Oilers aren't infallible and the Kings aren't hopeless. I'm not expecting much from LA, but it's certainly possible.
Talbot's wife still hates the oilers (us fan love her--she is the prefect hockey wife)--She will "motivate" Talbot to stand on his head for the series. I am in shocked vegas lost that last game.. They could have taken the oilers easily. Looks like stone and others are back for game one.. You guys got a lot of young hungry players that will push the oilers hard. Originally I had the oilers in 5--now I am saying 7 with last goal wins

Grundstom recalled from his conditioning loan the timing of which I presume means his activation is imminent. Dell also recalled. Is that 4th one? Does it now mean Clarke only gets called up as an emergency due to injury? I’ve lost track of the recall situation at this point. If I’m right on Clarke that feels very shortsighted unless they themselves have low expectations and think he’s better off in the Calder Cup.

I don’t think we’ll win but I’m not actively rooting for them to lose even if it means Blake is shit canned. I despise Edmonton (and Vancouver). I will die a happy man if I never see McDavid win a cup.

No one is actively rooting for the Kings to lose on here. We’re just fully expecting it to happen and there’s a silver lining to it.
You know what? During high school, I followed the wrong crowd. We can fulfill that journey. Earthquakes...

If PLD wants to win me back all he has to do is flatten Draisaitl after his first douchebag move.
This guy is 6’4 225 pounds and plays with a purse so it probably won’t happen. Instead I will be forced to watch Lizzo bounce off him 16 times a game and fall on his ass.

On a recent episode of 32 Thoughts, they made a mention of Dubois being penciled into the 4th line. Pretty embarrassing.
The way Lizotte plays isn't sustainable with higher minutes. He'll wreck himself.
For the Kings to have any chance at all they've got to have 4 quality lines. And this will be completely contingent on PLD.

Good God that bottom 6 is ugly, Fiala with Lewis and Lizotte? Wtf. And not having a dedicated 4th line who does typical 4th line duties is just stupid

I can’t imagine worse line combinations than this, and I imagine a lot of line combinations
Wouldnt worry about it too much. Hiller will change it around every 2 minutes if it doesnt work.
And it will all be moot when he reverts to leaning solely on Kopitar Danault and Doughty.

Putting PLD on the 4th line in practice is probably a motivational technique.
Teams who are still fidgeting with line combos to this degree headed into the playoffs are not contenders.

Dubois has had some recent games with really low TOI
4/15 MIN 12:45
4/11 CGY 12:49
4/9 ANA 14:10
4/6 VAN 11:53
4/4 SJ 13:41
0G, 1A in those games.
Hiller has probably run out of patience with him.

I’m on the kings train against the oilers so will be rooting for you guys to make it to round 2
Always have a soft spot for the kings myself as I’m sure some of you may recall from many years bandwagoning past…including your cup years… I personally feel LA has better depth vs Oilers but that’s just my opinion
Re PLD… I think Dubois will show up for the playoffs…historically he’s done better the bigger the stage. He was hot and cold vs Vegas last year and was a no show when they eliminated the Jets but his first game vs Vegas…he dominated his shifts
I’m surprised you guys are still down on him…he’s had some solid stats last few games I thought?
That center depth is pretty solid…
How would you guys do the lines? Look good to me (again - I’m an outside here
)
