We're going to lose but I hope PLD does something fun like take a run at McDavid then be suspended the rest of the series.

Edmonton vs Los Angeles
4th best offence (3.56) vs 3rd best defense (2.63)
10th best defense (2.89) vs 16th best offense (3.12)
last 10, 4-4-2 vs 6-4
39 RW vs 37 RW (regular season OT is too different from Play Off OT to count)
records since the all star break (45% of the season and 48% of the season)
20-12-5 (.608) vs 21-12-1 (.628)
Special teams
PP% 26.3 (4th) vs PK% 84.6(2nd)
PK% 79.5(15th) vs PP% 22.6(11th)

This will be a much closer series than most people think.

 

[Cup or Bust]

LA plays a hard game so it's never going to be an easy series against them.

 

[Rick Knickleback]

Not since the Kings matched up with Detroit in 2000 have I felt less confident about a playoff matchup. Kings don't have the horses for a deep playoff run and EDM is a terrible matchup for us to boot.

This game probably the most winnable of the series for LA tbh, with chances decreasing every game after.

Whenever I feel most confident in the Oilers being the favorite is when me arsehole puckers up and the anxiety creeps in.

Oilers gonna Oiler. Hopefully not today

I understand the skepticism but it's the Coilers we're talking about here. You always have a chance.

Here's to the fastest series of the playoffs.

Well its PLD....So he will take a run, miss, plow himself into the wall, and be injured for the rest of the series.

 

[Little Psycho]

so every home team has won game 1 so far

That is a possibility lol. Would make more sense with the season the kings had.

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

Just curious if Summer Rose will like this post as well

EDIT:

 

[Sol]

Cant wait to see McDavid beat 4 kings on the PP while Draisaitl is sitting alone near the right face off dot doing his nails until McDavid sets him up for another easy layup.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Is PLD going to awaken now that the playoffs have started?

They say he gets going in game 83!

The Kings need him to make an impact. Vilardi and Iafallo were a pain in the butt against the Oilers last season so I am glad they were traded.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Should be a fun game, I think oilers end up winning 5-3

Yup, 6-0 so far and it could be 8-0 if Boston and Carolina both win their games - still not sure why two series were held back this late.

But it's up to Edmonton and Dallas to continue the trend!

 

[HockeyVirus]

Cheering for LA Kings just because it is cruel to make fans watch their team lose to the same team and fanbase 3 years in a row.

Need to make it interesting and give them a win so next year we don't know who wins

 

[Czechboy]

Rittich... .921
Talbot... 913
Skinner .905

Surprised we are shit talking la goalies.

Very excited for the game! It should be a great series. Feel like all the pressure is on the Oil and that is not a good thing.

Remember if we win.. easy draw.
If we lose... HF always knew we sucked.

Can't win around here.lol

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Kings better learn to stay out of the box.. Or else this will not be pretty for them

26p in 38g ain't the worst!
That's a 16p higher pace than he got in the regular season.
