WCR1: Edmonton Oilers (P3) vs Los Angeles Kings (P2) - Oilers win 4-2

[Manhattanboy]

Might have to lay down a bet on EDM to win. It worked for me last year in the finals. Basically it comes down to how much I’m willing to pay for the Oilers to lose.

I did that last year for each series and kept rolling it over for the following series. Then bet everything on game 7 and gladly donated my money to bet365

They all look like typical dirtbag oilers fans. Mullets? Check. Beards? Check. Probably all have cliche tattoo sleeves.
Swapped out the sweatpants for some acid wash jeans- must have been a fancy night out- maybe impressed the missus with a fancy dinner at denny's earlier. All likely drive trucks with truck nuts? Check.

The shorter guy surprisingly threw the bigger guy around- looks like he's been in a few before. The big guy has either had too much edmonton trash beer or doesn't know how to fight.

Nah he just did the stupid thing of getting half assed involved in a fight with a guy who’s ready to throw at 110%. Don’t get involved in #### like this unless you’re prepared for all possibilities.

[Dude Where's Makar?]

Hopefully LA is able to give around 8+ minutes to their fourth line and bottom pairing. The play time of these lines in game four are ridiculous. LA is riding 9 forwards and 4 defenders and running on fumes.

Wonder what sort of fresh hell /disappointment awaits us tonight.

[SuperMatt18]

It's the problem with hard line matching against the Oilers.

We trashed Sutter for not linematching 97 and 29 in our series against them but it shows why it's a difficult task.

When trailing 97 and 29 will play about 60% of the period.

So now you're worried about putting your 4th line out because you don't want them out against the Oilers top line

Now Hiller is still stupid because he shouldn't have shortened the bench to 8 forwards, but it's the tough part when you're playing the Oilers who just spam the same two guys over and over.

Since its for the greater good, we should probably crowd fund this puppy.

I realize it's more difficult on the road but I think you still have to find a way to put out the 4th line when the opportunity is presented just to give your horses a break. They just had nothing in OT as it was nearly all spent in their end and anytime they got puck possession would break out to center ice while trying to change lines with a single forward or two bringing the puck into the offensive zone only to get outnumbered and lose possession and rinse/repeat getting cratered in their own end. Anyone watching that OT could see it was just a matter of when the Oilers score, not if.

The Kings should change their name to the LA two thirds.

Has to be Pickard.

Why would they go back to Skinner when he got lit up both games in LA? Pickard has won 2 straight, they'd be crazy to switch it up again.

That's just Edmonton foreplay.

Don't worry, you're good. I never win any money.

[midniteowl]

C'mon Kings, chase Pickard.

[direwolf]

I refuse to watch any more of this series until the Oilers lose. I’ve been disappointed too many times, and opposing teams seem to do better if I just avoid the games entirely.

F*** the Oilers forever.
