Toronto, Boston or Carolina. Hell Rangers, Florida, Tampa, Islanders or Capitals. I'd take any of them...
Been there, done that. No thank you.Too bad we can't play the Jets.
Fair, but here's my logic.
f*** the Kings, I'm tired of playing them, watching them get help and guys finishing the series banged up.
The knights would be good to exercise last year, but I would rather not, and see them play Dallas instead.
I like Nashville for 3 reasons.
1. Past success
2. Different team
3. Earlier start times for games
Every Oiler cup win featured a series vs. Winnipeg.Been there, done that. No thank you.

Maybe, but I don't expect 8:30 home starts playing Nashville, imo.The scenario that has Edmonton playing Nashville likely means Vancouver is playing LA and Dallas playing Vegas. So I suspect we'd still be the late game for the games at home on alternate nights from Vancouver/LA, but probably better times for the games in Nashville as they could put the Dallas Vegas games (in Vegas) at the late slot.
So it's only a couple games we'd see better start times. But that assumes the league/networks don't like the Dallas/Vegas conference final rematch and push that series as primetime and make Nashville deal with 9:00 home starts.

That's fair, I don't know they're deep enough up front.I put don't care. If the goal is to win the Cup then it doesn't matter who you face. Nashville might be the weakest team but a goalie like Josi can steal a series.

To perform a surgery on Stone.I'm not sure. But I prefer Dallas take out the garbage(vegas)
Final Oilers Carolina. Oilers in 5
this is the only correct answerDon't care.
This season is a failure unless we beat all of them. The order doesn't really matter.
LA for sure, we got their number.
Fair enough, but that was also a President's Trophy winning team that had a goalie regularly in the running for Vezina. LA is neither of those things. Selfishly, I'm hoping it's more of a Edmonton vs. Dallas in the late 90s early 2000s type thing where the first time we gave them all they could take and just managed to win Game 7 (unlike LA). Dallas tended to take care of Edmonton a little more easily each time after that especially once they got through the intial burst in the first 3 games of the series'.I don't know... I have a feeling somehow that the 3rd time would be the charm for the Kings, kind of like how Vancouver was extra motivated to beat the Blackhawks back in 2011.
Maybe, but I don't see them making Nashville watch a game starting at 10 pm.Maybe not 8:30, but I'm sure we'll see 8:00 starts for the home games unless it's a weekend. I just don't understand why in this day and age of multiple channels and with there only being at most 4 games a night that they can't find a way to let games for western teams have a reasonable start time.
I mean, does it really need to be completely off the table that a game in the east start at 6:30 eastern time to allow for a set up of 6:30, 7:00, 9:00, 9:30 on the nights where the final game of the night isn't in the Pacific Time zone (10:00 PM EST is reasonable if the game is played in a city in the Pacific time zone).
Careful, Todd Mclellan doesn’t coach there anymore. They may not be the free space on the playoff bingo card without him.LA for sure, we got their number.
