Did someone say PLAYOFFS?

I think it's a case of pick your poison.

The Oilers have weaknesses but if McDavid decided to win the series for them there isn't much the Kings can do about it, as shown by last years playoffs. He's even better this year, at least so far. I'd rather play them a few rounds later when he's had a chance to wear down and lose some of that adrenaline.

The Kraken is a solid team and they can probably beat the snot out of the Kings physically and play with underdog energy. They have an under the radar high powered offense, too. Doesn't sound very appealing.

The Golden Knights have a very talented, deep team and always seem to play at a high level. They don't shy away from the physical stuff either. Also, facing Quick would be awful, win or lose.

I dunno man. I'd prefer not to face McJesus but the other options aren't looking too hot either.

That's easy. Winnipeg.

All top three of our divisional rivals scare me for different reasons. Oiler's top-end ability augmented by some nice depth acquisitions, Vegas' overall scoring depth and solid D, Seattle's bulldog mentality. But all of their goaltenders seem underwhelming to me, in reference to both the Kings offense and Korpisalo if he's playing well (I think he'll be our starter). Would rather win the conference and get Winnipeg but if it has to be the Pacific, I'd rank them:
Seattle
Edmonton
Vegas

But confidence factor is admittedly low.
