  • In today's video I discuss the Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings first-round matchup as the two teams meet for the THIRD straight season in the first round! The #oilers won in game 7 in 2022 and then knocked off the #kings in game 6 in 2023, but LA is looking to prove that they have taken that next step and will be an extremely tough opponent for Edmonton to deal with. Connor McDavid is rested and looking to lead his team to it's first Stanley Cup Finals appearance since 2006... It's finally time for the playoffs to start. LFG.

    I want to say Oilers in 5 based on the pattern (7 in 2022, 6 in 2023) but the Kings are too good for this to be 5 game series. I’ll say Oilers in 6/7.

      @the_one_the_only420 Před měsícem +7

      Yeah and in 2026 I’d be oilers in 3! Lol

      @@the_one_the_only420 2029 will be interesting. The Oilers will win in 0 games. It will be the first ever 0 game series. LOL 😆
      The Kings will just forfeit the series be because they’re tired of losing to the Oilers in the first round.

    Drai with 14 points in a 5 games win..... And with a tough fight against Doughty

    If the oilers can beat the 1-3-1 system oilers will take it in 6 and brown, henriqe and skinner will shine

    KINGS fan: surprised with the respect for thinking the Kings win at least 2 games. I personally think the Oilers win in 4 or 5. I hate the 1--3-1 too

      i think the past ways too heavily on your picks, LA is a good team and COULD make it go 7 like the 1st time. Anything can happen, good luck!

      Fans don’t like it, rest of nhl doesn’t like it, some of Kings own players don’t really like it, It’s only seems to work to a certain point. Now 2 coach’s still insist on employing it. They always seem like a good aggressive forechecking team until they fall in to that passivity. But hey this is why you play the games, anything can happen, let’s go oil!

      We respect the kings they always play us hard. I do think the oilers should take this in 5 but wel see. If this goes to 7 it’s a failure of a series for the oilers Hinestky

      We cannot take them lightly! Dont care if we've won the last two series....if Oilers go back to how they were playing during our losing streak, we're in trouble....We want the D that played during the 16 game winning streak, they're quite capable! G O G!!

      Kings will frustrate oilers. And make them do stupid mistakes.

    @RickL_was_here Před měsícem +1

    The last week or so of the season was important and had something to play for... These guys didn't show up for it so I'm not entirely confident going in this time. I'm thinking another 7 game series but hope I'm wrong and they show up for the puck drop. They need to win that first 1 at home.

    Off topic sorta, - Look at what Vegas did, Stone and Pieterangelo are back at practice. LTIR magic. BS. Tampa 2.0. This needs to be FIXED. Also, Oil in 5. 6 at most by getting beat by themselves but I think theyve learned.

  • @4u2nvHock3y
    @4u2nvHock3y Před měsícem +3

    Oilers in 6. But it's gonna be close. The Oilers are definitely better offensively but also easier to play against. I think the Kings will keep it close but with the Oilers being just so much better offensively and in net. I dont think the defense will hold fo LA

    • @johanstinson
      @johanstinson Před měsícem

      The Oilers are a top 5 team defensively since the coaching change.
      Definitely not easy to play against.

    @clintonwagner1043 Před měsícem

    The King's defense is quick but not fast put Connor, McCloud and Holloway high and ice the puck and beat them to the puck at the other end, ice it hard so the goalie can't handle it.

  • @JonesTonesGuitar
    @JonesTonesGuitar Před měsícem +1

    Oil in 5

  • @Smokey_775
    @Smokey_775 Před měsícem

    I guess oilers in 4. Not to sound cocky I just don’t think cam talbot has the answer.

  • @saifonlawrence2044
    @saifonlawrence2044 Před měsícem

    Oilers should advance beyond the Kings...don't think they have the defense or goaltending to go further.

  • @VanMichael21

    Kings in 6

    @Lanearndt Před měsícem

    If we pay as poorly as we did the last 6 games of the season we've got 4 games left of the year.
    Fingers crossed for something different than the 20 minutes of hockey the oilers like to show up to play!!

    • @johanstinson
      @johanstinson Před měsícem +4

      Thry played 17 games in the last 30 days of the season including 6 games in 9 days to finish the season.
      They were on fumes lil bro.
      All this rest has been great for them.
