Simply poor awareness and given how this Kings team has been taken to the woodshed by the Oilers for three straight Aprils, you would think they would learn their lesson by now but it appears they just aren't up to the task. I just don't think they believe deep down they can beat the Oilers when push comes to shove as the Oilers are to the Kings like the Ducks were to the Flames in the Getzlaf and Perry years.

The tying goal the defender just tried to stand his ground and turned into a pylon, letting Mcdavid make his own decisions on what to do. I think they have to charge at him and make him make his decision earlier. They might get burned but chances are he will pass (to someone less dangerous). This happened more than once.
