Edmonton Oilers (P2) vs LA Kings (P3) | LAK lead 1-0

[authentic]

5 games for Edmonton

 

[Matty Sundin]

Oilers. They beat them before and they are a much better and mature team then last year

 

[Score08]

Kings stay out of the box and they will grind the oilers down. Kings in 7

Let’s Go KINGS! I am pulling for you guys big time!

 

[Osprey]

Damn, it's almost as if, in a whole entire fanbase made up of separate people, theres different opinions amongst them? Crazy concept for you to grasp, I know....

That was actually my point, that some fans have one opinion and others have another, and they might be more unified in optimism if they had more faith in their coach.

 

[Klimando Kostani]

The Kings just need someone to do this to McDavid.

This took me 3 rereads to not see it as saying it was the first 3 goal lead the King's had ever had. The way they like to score one goal and then play the most boring hockey you've ever imagined I kinda believed it.

Thats probably just you needing glasses.

I need glasses as badly as the King's need Fiala to even stand a chance next week

Yeah missing him and Villardi is a big dent in our creativity, but we'll still give your boys a game regardless. Theres hope that they will both be back soonish in some capacity.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Always want to see both teams at full strength, makes for better playoff hockey. I hope Fiala and Vilardi return, gives LA a fighter's chance.

Try the Saints approach, but instead of cash prizes you can put up more statues... Issue is McDavid doesn't ever operate in the NZ at a stand still for 5 seconds and actually keeps his head up, pretty hard to turn him into roadkill like your typical Sedin.

The "just hit him" approach is something McDavid's dealt with since he was like 14.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The "just hit him" approach is something McDavid's dealt with since he was like 14.

But has he ever faced a fearsome force who is as intimidating as Zack MacEwen? I think not.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

If LA want to play physical I am extremely confident Edmonton can make them regret it.
I do think Maclean know that and he wont make it overly part of the game plan.

 

[ginoovi88]

Oilers in 7. This should be a fun series.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

But has he ever faced a fearsome force who is as intimidating as Zack MacEwen? I think not.

Why would McDavid be in the Kings' pressbox?

 

[Captain Fantastic]

I can't think of a single Oiler I have any respect for. I'm not going to lie and pretend otherwise.

What an over the top statement. Yet, you're in here engaging about a series involving them. Why torture yourself?

Four day break between games 5 and 6. Would be very beneficial to win the round within 5 for the added rest.

Kings in 5.

 

[Underdogoil]

I think Oilers learned last year to not take the Kings lightly and will have jump in first 2 then have no pressure in 3,4 Oilers in 4, Kings have to make a game plan for McDrai, Oilers don't need to change anything and just play their game.

 

[Niten Ichi Ryu]

As an Oilers fan, I'm glad the Kings are getting respect. Last season, the common theme was that Edmonton was going to sweep LA, or that it would be absolutely disastrous is they lost to the KIngs

Now we know that series went to 7 games, the expectations for both clubs are much more balanced and even

The last 2 games were a preview of what's to come, both games low scoring, 3-1; 2-0
That's what we should expect for the entirety of the series, maybe one or two games high scoring, but for the most part, zero space and vital goals

 

[Baberham Lincoln]

This is going to be a close series. It’s going to come down to coaching.

Oilers fans are saying the same though
