Oilers in 6, but LA won't be an easy out. Hoping Edmonton's tenders are slick.

Re: Western Conference First Round: (2) Edmonton Oilers vs (3) Los Angeles Kings
Funny how everyone seems to believe the Oilers will be the most motivated team because it's time for them to at least go to the Finals with McDavid. Meanwhile, the Kings are facing the threat of losing to the same team 3 playoffs in a row...that to me, is highly motivating!
Oilers are my pick but I'm going 7, no way the Kings make it easy.

Re: Western Conference First Round: (2) Edmonton Oilers vs (3) Los Angeles Kings
Great start for the Oilers.
That was a very one-sided game.
Oilers offense was full press and dominant and while some of the goals were softies Talbot also had some big saves.
Skinner was solid early and the goals he let in were a couple tough deflections.
Love what you saw as an Oiler fan.

Bouchard had one of the most low-key 4 points games I've never seen last night.

Re: Western Conference First Round: (2) Edmonton Oilers vs (3) Los Angeles Kings
Heartbreaker in OT. Oilers just couldn’t get a lead. Kings played the kind of hockey they need to be successful. Oilers were significantly sloppier maybe got a bit complacent after the 7-4 drubbing. Gonna be one heck of a series that game kept me on my toes all night!
Re: Western Conference First Round: (2) Edmonton Oilers vs (3) Los Angeles Kings
Kings to start Rittich…I think this is a mistake. I don’t blame Talbot, if I’m the kings, he let a few soft ones in but honestly some of those scores should’ve been a lot higher he made some fantastic saves. The oilers are too good for the kings defence. As good as doughty has been at times he’s no spring chicken and Roy, Anderson and England aren’t exactly a blue chip shutdown trio. My prediction is my Oilers are going to light up Rittich tonight and here’s to a series win in 5!

Re: Western Conference First Round: (2) Edmonton Oilers vs (3) Los Angeles Kings
Well, if you remove all the special teams scoring this series has been very tight, lolOriginally Posted by finnys_fanatsy
Re: Western Conference First Round: (2) Edmonton Oilers vs (3) Los Angeles Kings
Wow was I wrong. Not that Rittich even got tested but what a defensive game. Skinner was good but to be honest the kings almost had no real high danger chances. The shot differential makes it look like Skinner was a beast, but I give the Shutout to the defence of the oilers! they played a fantastic game. Forwards made too many cutesy passes and gave up the puck a lot. And as much as I rag on Bouchard’s defensive game he was unreal last night defensively.
Re: Western Conference First Round: (2) Edmonton Oilers vs (3) Los Angeles Kings
Maybe in score. Oilers have dominated 5v5 play.
Re: Western Conference First Round: (2) Edmonton Oilers vs (3) Los Angeles Kings
As much I would like to say YES, these 2 teams have been locked in a 5v5 stalemate this series. Oiler PP running at 50% and LA's PP running at 0% has been the standout difference.
Re: Western Conference First Round: (2) Edmonton Oilers vs (3) Los Angeles Kings
Kings are well balanced and deep. That's really great for the regular season, but you need stars to stand on their heads in the playoffs. No one on the present iteration of the team is capable of doing so, as they're too used to winning based on the sum of their parts.

Edmonton was the better team in this series but the Kings got worked over bad by the refs in this series.
