The Kings might be better off just going full goon in the first game to put the Oilers on edge even if it burns a game, rather than getting slow burned for the whole series.

This is what I'm hoping for as well. Teams should know that even if they play non contact with the Oilers, they're going to dive anyway. If the Kings try to play cautious try not to take penalty, they'll lose.
