If you can find a way to limit McDavid to 2 points per game or less, Oilers are very beatable.

The first goal was a clear holding the stick penalty on McDavid that reps somehow just missed (aka ignored)
But when McDavid wants to be he's the best player in the game. The only player remotely close to being able to have the combination of speed, skill, and strength offensively is Mackinnon.
So he is fully possible of taking over a series, the Kings need to beat the rest of the Oilers though and hold him to 2 points per game.
