Game Thread: G2 WCQF 1-0 Kings vs Oilers 4/23/25

I think the Kings will lose one of the two in Edmonton, won't be a sweep. I expect Edmonton to have their fans and vibe like LA has and the Kings aren't a good road team.

But if they come back to LA 3-1, it's lights out. And a big giant FU to Bettman and their fans.

I already see their fan pages clamoring for a big Game 3 win. Like blowout style like they were able to respond in Game 4 against Florida. We'll see their best response, especially the first ten minutes of Game 3. This is where a guy like Kuemper might actually help. Dude is serial-killer calm, for good and for bad.

But Kings look better 5 on 5, and special teams. I don't expect EDM to go scoreless on PP for a 3rd game in a row. Kings were 3 of 4 on the PP and the only one they didn't score on was the one Kempe ran the guy and ended early. I think they didn't score one late, but at the time it was 3 of 4.
