I don’t think the difference between these two teams is as big as people are making it out to be. Oilers finished a mere five points ahead of the kings and their goal differential was +16. It’s not nothing but I don’t think it’s particularly significant either. And given the kings 1-3-1 that they play I could see them frustrating the Oilers a lot. If the kings can keep these to low scoring games and capitalize on some chances this could be a very close series. The Oilers also have a dominant home and ####ty road record. Whereas the kings were pretty even at home and on the road. If the King steal one in Edmonton watch out.
