Kings playing good hockey right now:
Kings depth is far superior
Can Mcdavid and Drai win them the series?
 
No Ekholm is going to suck, but I like Walman+Stetcher a lot better than I like Desharnais+Ceci last year. Oilers still obviously have the two superstars that LA doesn't which could be the difference maker. LA's had better depth scoring all year, but the Oilers depth guys have started to wake up recently.

It's hard to really say because we don't know who will be in the Oilers line up. I think if Kane and Frederic play the Kings will get pushed around and they aren't really built for the physical game. I know Doughty has looked hobbled this year with the fracture and then getting banged up in their last meeting. If those guys are in the line up constantly throwing hits on Doughty I don't like his chances of having much impact in this series.

I'm going to pick the Oilers in 6 for now, but my answer could change when we see who is in the line up game 1.
 
Ekholm is a big loss for the Oilers, but I still think they’ll beat the Kings. The Oilers have no chance against the Avs, Stars, Jets or Vegas without Ekholm.

The series entirely hinges on the Oiler's PP verse the King's PK.

Edmonton's PowerPlay has annihilated the Kings in previous series.

LA's can't score enough goals to compensate for a 60% PK.
youknow-you.webp

The stars have been shit the last few months.

I will agree on the other 3 teams but it isn't because of ekholm it will be goaltending that we succumb to against the offensive likes of Avs Vegas and Winnipeg..

But on a side note we aren't favorites going in, different mindset on the room maybe with out the pressure of cup or bust?

We shall see but as an oilers fan I don't have high hopes. I personally don't think er get out of the second round. Here's hoping I'm wrong......
 
Kings in 4?

Lol was waiting for that but honestly? wouldn’t be shocked. Especially after 2021.

The Oilers are off this year. Kings fans saying they fear our powerplay make me laugh; it hasn’t been close to the sure thing it was in 2022 and 2023. It was potent, feared. Now? Pass pass pass nothing.

I hate to say it out loud but McDavid might be declining before our very eyes. The Oilers franchise was lucky enough to get a true generational player twice, and poor management has wasted his prime years.

And I’ve said it before, but Stuart Skinners journey to being an NHL starter (lol) is literally the real life equivalent of Homer Simpson D’oh!-ing his way to becoming a nuclear safety technician.

Yes it’s entirely possible the Oilers are a very quick first-round exit. The team just isn’t it this year and Stuart Skinner in a professional sports league is a huge joke. Like Mensa made a mistake on their admission requirements review and approved Forrest Gump.

If the Oilers don’t win the Cup this year or next, 97’s gone imho. To an American market because Canadians team won’t win the Cup anymore.
