Don't even talk like that. We want to Oilers out early, often and as brutally as possible.

Do you really want to listen to Ron and the SN crew grease their pole for an entire playoff season, and then crown them the "true" champs when they lose in OT?

When you have the chance to kill something unholy, you drive the wooden stake in its heart right there and then. You don't let it chase you around all night and hope to lure it into a sunbeam at dawn.

Get that team gone ASAP.

Kings in 5. Oilers are too old to put up a fight this year, not to mention their injuries. LA also got back on the tracks after the PLD trade nearly derailed their rebuild.

Here's hoping that we don't see any of the team-wide "controller disconnect" with the Coilers opponents we saw last year.



Kings in 6.

I think...I just became an L.A. Kings fan. It's just the oddest thing. I can't explain why.

It'll be a dive fest and the Kings will need to do their best to stay out of the box.

Oilers goaltending will betray them; Kings in 5.

I'm surprised I haven't bought a Kings jersey already. I bought a Stars jersey in the 90s when the Stars beat the Oilers 14853 years in a row in round one.

Okay, the Kings haven't one a series yet, but they play them enough.

He's just following Captain Connor's leading example of cross checking guys in the head.

Kings in 7. I also bet that LA's impressive home form will go out the window come playoffs (will still be enough to get by Edmonton though).

Ekholm out could be the x factor.

The Oilers got rid of most of the good defensive players who gave them their incredible PK in last year’s playoffs, and replaced them with old, washed-up offensive players who can’t even score now. They got rid of Holloway and Broberg, their only two young players, and squandered most of the proceeds for one game of Trent Frederic. Ekholm, their one good defensive defenceman, is out for the duration, and they’ve annoyed the officials by turning last night’s game into a goon show.

I expect the Oilers to fold like a cheap umbrella in a Lethbridge windstorm.

This seems to be the Kings best opportunity out of the last 4 years to take out the Oilers. I'm hoping we see Byfield emerge and the Oilers start to decline as they begin to age out. Would be glorious to see them fold like a cheap tent as well (fingers crossed).

Oilers with no Ekholm and with a good number of players banged up aren't winning this series. No chance.

Kings in 5

I don't disagree with you. It'll play w my emotions too to have them so close. But to see all their practically die when they lost last year after getting to Game 7, their emotional wrecking and pain was my summer tonic leading into this season.
