Kings in six. Oilers give up too much and the Kings are very stingy. Plus, is McDavid 100%?

It really doesn't matter. The LA's options in net are shit, shitty, and shittier
He will be, but he definitely shouldn’t be
Rittich has been the superior tendy for quite some time now.

Very favourable matchup for Edmonton.
The Kings were the lowest scoring playoff team in the West.
Edmonton’s weakness is probably goaltending and defence but they face the team with the weakest offense.
Unless LA plans to win every game 1-0 with Talbot/Rittich shutting down the Oilers offence - seems like a third year in a row the Kings are going down - probably in 5. If PLD wants to show his value now would be the time.

The match-up I’ve been fearing since September and hoping the Oilers would avoid. Bad feeling about this series, the Kings are due to win one. This one goes to 7.

Kings in 6. Ya, I said it.
I know Edmonton has had a great season since the coaching change. But I still see the bad habits form the depth players. They just expect McDrai to do it all. Kane is turning to a pumpkin, Perry has nothing left in the tank, and the goaltending is unimpressive at best.
I would actually love for Edmonton to go far, or even win it all. I'm a McDavid fan, and think it would be great for him to finally reach the pinnacle. So don't call me a hater. I just don't see the team around him as anything close to good enough.

The LA Kings are the lowest scoring playoff team in the conference and their goalies are 2 UFA goalies they signed for 1M or under - if the Kings win this series Knob should be fired.

I'm biased but I hope Edmonton f***ing destroys LA for the amount of boredom they forced me to watch this year.
And also screw Kurashev for that moronic penalty he took in the third last game vs LA.

This could happen, but Perry has been very good. Not clear if you have followed his season.
Edmonton also has very good depth scoring as they have 6 players with 20+ goals, and another 7 with 10 - 19 goals.
They routinely play Kane and Henrique on the 3rd line.
Certainly always questions about Edmonton defense, but they have 7 NHL defensemen who are the 3rd highest scoring group with 48 goals in the playoffs only behind Carolina (49) and Colorado (64).
Skinner is a question in the Playoffs until he performs in the playoffs, but he has had 2 solid regular seasons.
Biggest problem with Edmonton this year is McDavid and Draisaitl looking disinterested in games against average teams.
Let's see what happens.
Many of the weaknesses you mention apply to the Kings as well. The difference will once again likely be that the Oilers have the best player in the world on their team.

How was this series better than Florida vs Boston, New York vs New Jersey, or even Colorado vs Seattle? Those were all far more entertaining series. It was chippy but not nearly as entertaining as those ones.
Ya'll don't have to worry. The only reason the first one went 7 was cause of Quick. Since then the Kings goaltending has gotten progressively worse each year

If there was ever a poster child for why these forced division "rivalries" suck. Here it is! Edmonton and LA don't hate each other, Bettman. They're bored of each other. 
Really can't see LA getting more than six games out of Edmonton but I'll say Oilers in five.

Will be a closer series than many are willing to admit, but I'm personally hoping that the Oilers stomp the Kings. Go Oilers.

Was really hoping for Oilers/Vegas not gunna lie, wouidve been appointment viewing but here we are. Is 3rd time the charm for LA? I have doubts. If theres anyone that can break open their trap its McDavid.

Game 1 will be the indicator of how this series is going to go more than usual imo.
The Oilers haven't won game 1 of a playoff series since 2017.
What kind of team are the Edmonton Oilers this playoff season. Will they shit game 1 away like they did last year. In complete control.. then a massive bed shitting in the 3rd.
This team has talked about Immaturity after last years playoffs. Let's see if the Oilers have managed to grow up.
There are 3 players to key on for L.A imo to take this series.
1. Nurse - Get this guy into immature emotion mode and he'll start making bad reads and poor decisions.
2. Bouchard - Pressure him like crazy and he can give up some freebies.
3. Draisitl - He's going to score. But he'll take the world's stupidest penalties. Piss him off and he'll retaliate.
If those players show maturity and Skinner doesn't crap the bed. I think it will be tough for L.A

Get ready for an outright war. This series is going to get ugly right from puck drop in Game 1.

Don’t underestimate Skinner’s ability to turn into a sieve, I think the goaltending in this series will be a saw-off
