Series Talk: WCQF: Edmonton Oilers vs Los Angeles Kings | EDM Lead 3-1

[syz]

Keep in mind last year kings didn't have arvidson. He's an X factor.

Arvidsson played in every game last year. They didn't have Fiala until game 4 but then lost every game after he came back.

Fiala wasn’t ready. It was a desperate move.

 

[HolyGhost]

Bring out the brooms this Kings team is horrible

Oiler fans should be happy like Christmas morning right now. I did not have the Knights losing their last game

OIler is 6

 

[bouncesonly]

Pretty sure Kings didn't have Fiala until game 3, also lacked Vilardi game 1 (not that game 1 mattered).

Season before last, they were without Doughty....and this was the line up for the D instead: Durzi, Maata, Roy, Anderson, Edler, Stecher. Just imagine if the Oilers lost game 7....to that defense lol.

 

[Baberham Lincoln]

Oilers in 4. This is a rested McDavid. He didn't bother going for the Art Ross to because he's saving it for the playoffs.

Alternatively he rested because he's been fighting a hip/groin injury all season. This is the healthiest the Oilers have been going into the playoffs the last couple years though, so hopefully McDavid's as close to as good as he can get or that would all be for naught.

 

[Hammer79]

I am so glad that VGK ended up in the Central for the first 2 rounds, everyone the Canucks match up against poorly is over there. Oilers should wrap this up quickly. See you in round 2 Oilers fans.

 

[GOilers88]

Lol at the usual, silly, "easy path" crap. The only people who say that shit are the ones laying the groundwork to discredit other teams before anything has even happened.

Good luck, Kings fans.

[winnipegger]

Would be a pretty huge upset. If I was a betting man, which I am, I wouldn't put a penny on this kings team no matter what the odds are.

 

[Sol]

Oilers in 3. Our team sucks.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

also synchronicity, baby



and finally, from our board, this is why this is stress free bonus hockey

see it this way, if we face the Oilers, there's only 2 outcomes

1- we win and you get max pleasure out of it
2- we lose and blake is out and get max pleasure out of it

facing the Oilers is the way

GKG!

 

[Rude Dog]

Vegas is way over hyped. LA needs to get the lead and hope to hang on. Just don’t see them containing 97.

 

[Peasy]

Oilers will scrape by the kings and nucks just to get stomped by a real team when they face a team from the central like every other playoff year.

Nothing new.

 

[LordBacon]

Deja vu

 

[HolyGhost]

I am so glad that VGK ended up in the Central for the first 2 rounds, everyone the Canucks match up against poorly is over there. Oilers should wrap this up quickly. See you in round 2 Oilers fans.

Nashville in 5 over Vancouver, They are a very dangerous team

 

[vcanuck]

this is going to 7 games only for the winner to be swept by the Canucks.

 

[boredmale]

I am picking the team Gretzky used to play for in 6

 

[Nineteen67]

I don’t watch a lot of Edmonton games and this matchup will keep it that way.

I’ve already picked two Canadian based teams to win and even though we don’t need three, Edmonton is the most likely to win.
Oilers in 6.

 

[1specter]

Took 7 in 2022, 6 in 2023 so I'm gonna go with Oilers in 5 this time. Should be an easy path to WCF now since they don't have to play any of Colorado, Dallas, VGK or WPG in first two rounds.

 

[JKG33]

I f***ing hate this. Oilers in 5. Each year the Kings goalies have gotten worse, and now we're to the point I'd be surprised if LA even won a single game.

Meanwhile it's the same shitty matchup yet again. LA still would've lost to Dallas, but at least there's some dignity there. But Vegas would've bitch slapped the Oilers

 

[North Cole]

Well. Here we go again lmao. Idk, at some point you feel like playing the same team over and over will result in a loss, but the Oilers are also the better team.

Just happy Vegas went over to be the centrals problem.

 

[voucher101]

Not sure we do it 3 years in a row. Against all odds a wise man once said.

Can we get a wellness check on Draisaitl?

He’s still lazy.

 

[MrvJets]

If the Oilers don't make it to the Finals this year, they might as well blow it up. Easiest path ever.

LA, then VAN/NSH, then whoever comes out alive out of DAL/VGK/WIN/COL in a grueling/physical Central.

Lol Oilers are not a team built for the playoffs. Sieve goaltending and weak D will do them in the playoffs. Dallas, Colorado, Jets, and Vancouver are all better than them. Oilers might squeak by LA but they done in the second round. They beat up on garbage teams but when they face a good team it’s another story.

 

[HolyGhost]

Will Willy Boy be attending the games again
