Let's Go Kings!!

[dino7c]

Should will really allow and Oilfan to start this thread?

Kings are due, Kings in 6. I would be thrilled with Talbo or Rittich knocking them out

[MoneyGuy]

Oil in 6

[direwolf]

Kings in 7. Kopitar and Doughty are too proud and experienced to go down without a fight, and I think they're due after the last couple of years.

[midniteowl]

Let's Go Kings, crush those Losers!

[memphusk]

Kings in 6. Oilers lose the room after taking the first two and LA tying the series.

[TaranakiFlame]

Perhaps Oilers underestimate the Kings and lose at least 1 of the home games, putting them on the back foot?

[dino7c]

Game 1 Monday

[Mathgod]

Oilers bounced in 4 straight losses.

The Oilers have 5 more points, its not some monumental mismatch

[getbak]

Third time's a charm. Talbot's revenge.

[dissentowner]

I hate this matchup, I don't see any way the Kings can pull this off. Stupid Vegas! Oilers in 5.

[FLAMESRULE]

Oilers in 5. Hate to say it, but this is an easy match up for Edmonton.

[DeluxeMoustache]

1-3-1 ftw

[topfiverecords]

Kings don’t have it sadly. Coil will win again. Either 4 or 5 games. All we can hope for is a battered and bruised Kane and Perry.

[midniteowl]

Oilers go into the playoff in a 2 games losing streak, and the 2-game will turns into a 6-game losing streak, and then it's golf time for them.

[dino7c]

They will start the playoffs like they started the season...way too cocky
the entire hockey world picking them in a short series despite similar records will be a perfect setup

[bdubbs]

I will never cheer for the Oilers, so I will be rooting for the Kings the whole series. But Oilers will win this in 6.
