Oilers in 4. Every win 2+ goal differential.

Kings are the hottest team coming into the playoffs. Kings in 4

As the Oilers just went 15 games without a reg loss 14-0-1

Kings are on a big hot streak too.

Their 2 losses were both to Edmonton I believe.

Ugh yay Kings Trap hockey.

 

[Shane Diesel]

Lmao I am a sports gambler would you like to wager on this

Cool. I'll send my PayPal account in a DM and we can get down to it as soon as you're ready.

 

[WatchfulElm]

The Oilers are a more complete and mature team than last year but already proved they could beat LA. They should do it again but in less games.

Nice try with the jinx.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I think there’s one thing both fanbases can agree on, winner has to beat the Knights.

5 and 5 over their last ten games. So hot right now.

Well this is at least an opinion.

It's OK, Edmonton will do that too.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Nice try with the jinx.

Who said it was a jinx? Fiala isn't coming back. The Kings haven't beaten a playoff caliber team in a while.

Since February 1st, the top five teams in the league were Boston, Vegas, Edmonton, Colorado, and Los Angeles. This should be a good rematch between two teams that already don't like each other. For LA, it really depends on whether or not Fiala is healthy.

With that said, LA's last postseason series win was against New York in 2014 to win the Stanley Cup, so I'm not particularly hopeful.

 

[Sol]

A healthy Kings team should make light work of the oilers.

 

[dwonger]

Oilers in 4. Would be absolutely shocked if Oilers did not win both home games.

 

[syz]

Hopefully the Oilers can get through the series this year without anybody getting slewfooted after the whistle. If nothing else at least I won't have to watch Duncan Keith feeding the Kings pucks this time.

So they’re due for a few

How?

 

[kingsholygrail]

Hopefully the Oilers can get through the series this year without anybody getting slewfooted after the whistle.

So long as McDavid doesn't board anyone, right?

 

[5minutemajor]

Edmonton will take this. It is a coin flip whether it will take 4 or 5 games.

 

[kilowatt]

As for my vote, I'll take LA in 7 this year, just to change things up.

 

[dwonger]

LA is going to be tough. They are better than last year and so is Edmonton.

The key to beating LA is not getting behind and trying to fight their 1-3-1 or whatever they play


I thought Fiala and Vilardi were close to returning?

Oilers dominated 6/7 games last year. Quick stood on his head even though his save percentage was not godly he made so many sure goal saves.

 

[KCC]

If future Calder winner Skinner is even average then EDM should be able to take it easily enough.
