Series Talk: [P2] Los Angeles Kings Vs [P3] Edmonton Oilers (LA Leads 2-0)

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

This is a food thread now, you must be lost.

My gut says no way.

The California burrito has french fries in it, and though I give the edge to donair, that version of the burrito is something else. I do think a good donair is harder to make though.

Asada, fries, guac *muah*

Once we are done with food we will switch to LA Fitness vs Orange Theory

I like how we're still nearly a week away and people are already so tired of talking about this matchup that they'd rather argue over which city is better at stuffing meat into flatbread and whether it's acceptable to add lettuce.

lettuce in either is a conspiracy by Big Flatbread to remove more quality ingredients but occupy the same space in order for better profits

like air in a bag of chips

I have the Kings in 7. But it could easily go either way. i will say though that I don't think the Oilers are as good as some people want to believe and the playoffs will prove that.

OIlers were honestly closer to on a cinderella run last year than a true contender. No goaltending, questionable defense, questionable depth. McDavid and Drai go super sayain god to win every night or it doesn't happen.

What a weird way to say a goalie away from being unbeatable.

I am so glad we fixed that thing....

Last year absolutely, but that is why I said a cinderella run. Unless you think it is realistic McDavid has literally the greatest playoff run of all time every single season AND Drai is not far behind? NVM Hyman was still hot on a 50 goal season and playing a lot better than he is now

I don't think it be impossible those two went at it again but yeah, our bottom 6 isn't better, we got injured key player and goaltending I rather not speak about.

We got Corey Perry. Enough said.

When the Kings are losing to the Oilers powerplay which happens to be, McDavid being a rover with guys trying to shadow him, then passing it to draisaitl across the ice who's only job is to hover near the right face off dot uncontested. Then yeah that seems to be what kills the Kings who's Pk happened to be near an abysmal 50%.

Now why on earth would I fear the guy who's hovering near the right face off dot over the guy who has players shadowing him and they still can't stop him?

Let's be real. I don't know why you guys get rubbed the wrong way when someone points out that McDavid is the catalyst of the Oilers. He is the only one who can do things in the NHL that no one else can do.

Let’s be real. Your hockey analysis sucks.

If the Oilers were truly a 1 man team, the Kings wouldn’t progressively get tossed earlier and earlier each post season.

Thanks for your thought provoking response. McDavid is one of a kind, Draisaitl is not.

It’s that simple. Maybe at some point you will acknowledge that rather than pretending it isn’t the case.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Lettuce, tomato, banana peppers are key to a good donair

Blasphemy.

 

[Turin]

Oilers have the higher ceiling but you gotta think the Kings gotta win eventually

 

[McHelpus]

Alberta's bastardized the Donair putting lettuce on it. You don't steal someone else's signature food...and then make it worse!

Just ask for no lettuce it's not a big deal...

 

[PuckG]

McDavid is certainly one of a kind.

Draisaitl is also an elite player in the NHL. One of the players that has punted your team to the curb for 3 years and running.

It’s that simple. Maybe at some point you will acknowledge that rather than pretending it isn’t the case.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Look you can kick my team's ass four years running

but i swear to god if you put lettuce in your donair you are dead to me

Yeah i don't get it, I admit to not ever having them that way before but how the crap does the lettuce not get soggy?

Do you mean in the NHL right now? Or like… in history?

I would challenge you to name another player like Draisaitl.

Took you a while but you got there eventually.

Draisaitl is a very good player, but he's not unstoppable. McDavid is a one of a kind player who cannot be stopped. McDavid's skating alone makes him impossible to contain. Draisaitl doesn't have any attributes of that nature.

 

[PuckG]

Took you a while but you got there eventually.

You’re still struggling, evidently.

Anyways - back to the topic.

Oilers in 7. This Kings team is more primed against an injured, older Oilers team - so could go either way.

 

[VivaLasVegas]

IMHO, it all depends on whether Ekholm can come back or not. Without Ekholm, the Oilers' defense is substantially less efficient.

I had AI remove the lettuce. It was offending too many here.
