• A week ago when it looked like we were playing Vegas, much rhetoric of slaying the dragon, exorcising demons, and so forth. In this series against Los Angeles, we are the demons, we are the dragon, and we have a village to burn.
  
  
• The Oilers are notoriously poor at securing Game 1 wins, so coming out of this game with a 1-0 series lead will be our own Everest.
  
  
• Just win.

Better to exorcise demons than exercise them. I am also hoping for an Oilers win, personally.

Followed by LA winning 4 straight

Followed by LA winning 4 straight

Let's not and say we didn't.

Truth be told, I'm more hoping for a Kings loss than Oilers win... but hey, to make up a phrase that makes no sense about it, that's what you get when you poke the iron maiden.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

So many things to dread as an Oil fan.

We never win game 1.

Currently none of the home teams have lost. Which seems like a jinx.


3rd time facing a team that seems like they're due.

 

[Trash Panda]

Could see the Kings eeking out a win in a close game up in Edmonton, but this series has all the signs of being a crushing blowout for LA.

The Kings just have completely butchered their rebuild, wasted their treasure trove of assets on inconsequential players, and are now praying for a miracle instead of preparing to go to war.

5-2 oilers.

 

[nucks88]

LET'S GO KINGS!

 

[Three On Zero]

5-1 Oilers, but go Kings! Win this for Lowtide! (Whomever that is)

 

[Summer Rose]

5-1 Oilers, but go Kings! Win this for Lowtide! (Whomever that is)

Win it for pancake bunny.

 

[syz]

As long as this isn't as much of a snoozer as Preds/Nucks.

(It will be, the Kings are involved).

 

[Hockeyholic]

Kings take this one because Edmonton never wins game one.

What happens after that is what matters most.

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Edmonton wins this one. McDrai with four points each.

 

[syz]

Oilers haven't won a game 1 since 2017 and a game 1 at home since 1990.

 

[Pucklington]

Oilers haven't won a game 1 since 2017 and a game 1 at home since 1990.

Oilers didn't have home ice from 93 until 2017 in any series, and a several non-playoff years.

I'm up early composing music. If you can think of some short words to write about the Oilers vs. Kings game, I can try to put some music to them.

 

[Fatass]

Do the kings have a goalie that can steal wins? They’re going to need one.

In the land of the Oilers, where the ice shines bright,
The Kings come to challenge under the arena lights.
With sticks in hand and skates on fire,
They clash on the ice, fueled by desire.

It's a battle on ice, Oilers vs. Kings,
Where legends are made and glory rings.
From Gretzky's era to McDavid's reign,
The rivalry burns, fueling the flame.

From Gretzky's days to Doughty's stride,
The Kings bring their A-game, full of pride.
But the Oilers push back with every pass,
Their determination strong, their resolve steadfast.

It's a battle on ice, Oilers vs. Kings,
Where legends are made and glory rings.
From Gretzky's era to McDavid's reign,
The rivalry burns, fueling the flame.

The crowd roars loud, the tension high,
As the puck drops low, the stakes reach the sky.
With each shot taken, each save made,
History's written in the game they've played.

It's a battle on ice, Oilers vs. Kings,
Where legends are made and glory rings.
From Gretzky's era to McDavid's reign,
The rivalry burns, fueling the flame.

So raise your banners high, let the victory sing,
In the clash of titans, where champions spring.
For on the ice, in the heat of the fight,
The Oilers and Kings, they shine bright.

I said short words! I suppose I can work with this though.

 

[Three On Zero]

I said short words! I suppose I can work with this though.

The longest word is “determination”, most of them are short

 

[Summer Rose]

That's not what I meant and you know it.

 

[Three On Zero]

That's not what I meant and you know it.

Whatever!

 

[Summer Rose]

Whatever!

Okay, here's what you get!

His name is Rittich. Big D*ck Rittich.
