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

10 of those points came in one post season with Columbus.

 

[BoHorvat 53]

If Edmonton scores 1st, they’re going to blow the Kings’ backs out real hard.

He could catch fire!

 

[Nasti]

Yeah, this won’t be fun.

 

[Artemi Panarin]

Just curious if Summer Rose will like this post as well

EDIT:

Let's hope Edmonton plays better than this guy raps cause yikes

 

[Coffey]

Yeah, this won’t be fun.

I really wish you guys had the Canucks

 

[theMajor]

I think this is the healthiest the Oilers have been for the playoffs, doesnt mix well with LA taking bonehead penalties constantly and losing to lottery teams during the last stretch of games. I think Oilers are the better team and and have more momentum. we will see who shows up tonight !

That's why you don't get swept and dominated by them throughout the season. Even one win against them and your team would have been right there.

 

[LAKings88]

Oilers have the skills advantage and physicality advantage.

Kings play prevent against the Oilers which doesn't ever get it done.

Anything is possible but the Oilers should come out on top tonight.

At least LA fans wont have to deal with TMac's lack of adjustments.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Two more teams without goaltending. Set the over/under for goals in this game at 10.

Lack of adjustments? Pretty sure he switched gum flavours mid game last year in the playoffs.

It’s true. It’s on the Oilers for that.

 

[winnipegger]

I'm thinking this will be the only sweep of round one. If for no other reason than the kings are employing Pierre Luc Deborah. You can't win with weiners on your team.

 

[zar]

Kings are going to dump and pound… I hope the coaches were working with the D to move the pucks fast and the wingers coming back deeper in the D zone to support.

I can’t wait to see what they have in store for 97 and 29.

 

[bland]

Kings win 5-4 in OT tonight. Then 4 straight for the Oilers.

 

[seamore]

Is this the first time PLD has played a playoff game?

 

[tardigrade81]

People wanting the Kings to win

Wtf

Next thing you guys will say is, “we aren’t fans of jean claude van Damme” or something silly like that

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

LA would have gone up 3-1 last year if not for a late goal by Kane and an OT winner by Hyman.

They give the Oilers trouble and are a thorn in their side. Though I do think the Oilers will win, I don't like this talk of LA will be easy, they're very annoying and resilient.

Plus the Oil suck in game 1's. Cautiously optimistic

They blew a 3-2 series lead in 2022 and a 3-0 Game 4 lead while up 2-1 in the series in 2023. Place your bets on what the next choke will look like.

At this point I'm not sure if LA loves blowing leads or if the Oil love playing down to their opponent.

Probably both

 

[VanCity Millionaires]

I'm sensing a big win for LA tonight. Skinner lets in a couple of softies, McDavid leaves injured, and the rest of the Oilers can't figure out LA's trap-style D.

4-1 LA

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Oilers have to be favorites here. Probably the best roster constructed this year.

Kings play a lot of prevent hockey. I wonder if they open it up if they can't contain McDavid and draisaitl.

 

[Coffey]

Oilers can't figure out LA's trap-style D.

Oilers are not the Canucks in that regard.

More like take a dump that weighs a pound.

 

[thekernel]

I think this year's Kings stand a much better chance than last year's Kings. That being said, it's still trending towards another beatdown
