I'm just curious to see if my theory is correct

If EDM wins, fans will gloat further, they own the Kings and start listing guys like RNH, Foegele, McLeod, Janmark, Skinner as absolute monsters

If EDM loses, fans will state things like "we knew it would be a battle, no one said it would be easy"

can't wait either way

I don’t know, those guys you listed combined for a whopping 2/21 possible points in a 7 goal outburst. I don’t think the bottom 6 will be the players getting praise

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. We will see.
2022
Game 1: LA 4-3 EDM
Game 2: LA 0-6 EDM
Game 3: EDM 8-2 LA
Game 4: EDM 0-4 LA
Game 5: LA 5-4 EDM
Game 6: EDM 4-2 LA
Game 7: LA 0-2 EDM

2023
Game 1: LA 4-3 (OT) EDM
Game 2: LA 2-4 EDM
Game 3: EDM 2-3 (OT) LA
Game 4: EDM 5-4 (OT) LA
Game 5: LA 3-6 EDM
Game 6: EDM 5-4 LA

2024
Game 1: LA 4-7 EDM

Only once in the last 14 playoff meetings was LA "very stingy" and kept Edmonton from scoring at least 2 goals. Also, only twice did they keep them to only 2 goals. On average, Edmonton has scored 4.2 goals per game against LA. If LA has the ability to make it tough on Edmonton, at least consistently, they haven't shown it so far.

Because if they act like they belong in the playoffs BLuc might manage to stick around somehow.

2022: Oilers in 7
2022: Oilers in 6
2022: Oilers in 4

DO IT. 5 is a shitty number anyway.

I haven't heard that before, that is a great nickname :laugh:

The fact that you just compared Nuge to the rest of those other guys tells me not to bother responding…

I do expect that you are correct though, but that statement would also be accurate for per much every fanbase in the league.

Fully expect the Oilers to feel proud of themselves for their game 1 and the Kings to come out and play their best game of the year. Oilers will take some dumb penalties due to being taken by “surprise”.

It’ll be 3-0 by the end of the first.
So Oilers up 3-0 at the end of the 1st ? Oh i agree

What the rest of this series looks like will be defined by LAs response tonight. If they roll over and die this series won’t make it to game 6. I don’t see it happening but, I also thought we’d see an extremely motivated LA team in game 1 and I was wrong about that.
