Oilers in 6-7.

 

[Mr Kot]

sweep for oilers, just to live dangerously with my bets.

 

[Herby]

Jonathan Quick finds the fountain of youth and the Kings win in 6.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Oilers in 6, McDavid goes full psycho

 

[johnjm22]

I'm a Kings fan, but I think the Oilers probably win in 5 or 6 games.

Edmonton has gotten hot at the exact right time.

 

[syz]

McDavid and Draisaitl are going to get bear hugged around the ice every game again but they should actually have the wingers to fight through it this time.

Concern for the Oilers remains that they've been vastly outgoaltended the past 2 years and are going in with the same 2 guys anyways, against a goalie in Quick who has been playing well (outside of his whiff the other night.)

Nurse is also injured and "might" be back for the start of the series but I doubt will be 100%.

 

[Mikeshane]

Cheers to the Oilers and Kings for opening the playoff board.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Bring it.

 

[NYR94]

I'll say Oilers in 6.

 

[johnjm22]

First playoff meeting between these two teams since 1992.

30 years ago.

 

[crazyfisherman]

Expectng drai to carry the load this series, danault is a defensive beast

 

[Joey Moss]

Oilers in 6

 

[Cloned]

Bring it.

Will do.

 

[Reparlana]

Kings in 7 playoff hockey is the Oilers kryptonite

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Oilers in 6.

I think the only strategy that could work for the Kings is to get physical with McDavid and Draisaitl. Complete suffocation when the refs bury the whistle as they always do.

It'll be interesting to see how they approach it.

 

[tarapoto2006]

Well, I picked the Jets in 4 last year so I'm gonna go with Kings in 4 to keep it consistent.

Doughty’s going to neutralize McDrai by foregoing the press box and sitting in between the benches to yell, “You’re bad at hockey, bud!” at them every stoppage.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Kings in six because why not?

 

[fsanford]

Love me some Smyth Division hockey!

Just promote him to PA announcer during home games.

 

[kevsh]

McDavid is going to hate the name Danault.

Kings in 7.

 

[Canadienna]

Danault did quite well against McDavid in the Canadian division. Remember all those threads about McDrai's lack of production against MTL? He also thrives in a matchup role in the playoffs.

I think it'll go 7.

Hopefully the Kings are watching the tapes from last seasons sweep by the Jets.

Hopefully the Kings are watching the tapes from last seasons sweep by the Jets.

That tape is just "have flawless goaltending" so I'm not sure how much they'd learn.

That said Quick could do that anyways.
