I don't. Will be an even faster start for Edmonton without the spirited but ultimately meek 2nd-period push by the Kings after the game's been decided. Could see an Edmonton shutout tonight.I expect a closer game tonight.
I get being pessimistic when your team is down and lost two years in a row. But I think the Kings have the ability to play a very stingy defensive game and make it tough of the Oilers.

Kings occupy a very weird space in the NHL right now. Able to thoroughly dominate less talented, less experienced, and/or poorly coached teams, but thoroughly outmatched by talented, experienced teams. Add in the psychological edge the Oilers clearly enjoy at the moment, and it looks like a sweep incoming. Game 1 was our best chance to win a game.
I know this sounds like reverse-psychology, reverse-jinx internet jibber jabber, but it's actually just an honest assessment of the LA Kings this season and this particularly playoff dynamic of the last couple years.
He isn't being a pessimist. It is a very REALISTIC view of the team. The Kings beat up bad teams this year and lost to the good ones. Our awful front office gutted the team's identity. The red hot start gave people a very incorrect idea about this team.I get being pessimistic when your team is down and lost two years in a row.

Oddly enough the oilers beat up on bad teams even more than the kings.He isn't being a pessimist. It is a very REALISTIC view of the team.

Kings fans expect this series to be much more one sided that the previous two and expect our front office to be fired in the offseason and Rebuildy the bear to make yet another appearance

NO goalie signed. Byfield has to be signed. They can't afford Roy or Arviddson. The once touted pipeline is practically a desert
Our GM is the guy who thought that he was going to get sex on the 3rd date and drained his bank account rent a limo, go to a 5 star restaurant, and had a path of roses petals and violinists to set the mood music on the walk back to the limo only be put in the friend zone.
I know you guys have a soft spot for him... but seems a little much for Connor Brown
Too bad Blake doesn't know about Figueroa after hours.He isn't being a pessimist. It is a very REALISTIC view of the team. The Kings beat up bad teams this year and lost to the good ones.

Only thing I want to see tonight is the Oilers go in for the kill.
i agree but not until the games get to LA and the kings can ensure danault vs mcdavid. its going to be tough to handle in edmonton cause the kane/perry line is doing whatever they want vs the bottom end kings lines.I get being pessimistic when your team is down and lost two years in a row.

Danault WAS out against McDavid in Game 1i agree but not until the games get to LA and the kings can ensure danault vs mcdavid. its going to be tough to handle in edmonton cause the kane/perry line is doing whatever they want vs the bottom end kings lines.
true, which is a nightmare for LA, the oilers will literally take any match up line v line they want. tbh it doesnt really matter. which is why i fully understand the pessimism. the only real chance to beat the oilers is if they beat themselvesDanault WAS out against McDavid in Game 1
Oh no, not the Kane/Perry line!i agree but not until the games get to LA and the kings can ensure danault vs mcdavid. its going to be tough to handle in edmonton cause the kane/perry line is doing whatever they want vs the bottom end kings lines.
Depends, what are you bringing to the table?Are we gunning to get a Playoff GDT thread closed ?
Thank god.10-0 LA, Dubois with a hat trick in the first period, Skinner gets pulled then put back in after Pickard gives up 4 in a row.
