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.

Cool story bro lol. Keep thinking that and try playing McDri for 12m a period, maybe that will work. Coach isnt much different than their fans....just cant see this Kings team is a totally different one since the deadline than the one they faced for 3 years.

Still LA hasnt done shit until they win 2 more. Can they do it? I think so, will they? Dont let up no matter how many ahead or behind...give McDri nothing.

Saw the presser live, just had to shake my head. Yes there have been gaffes (he used it twice) but the Kings have flat outplayed Edmonton, have a deeper team than years past and more than Edmonton can boast and Skinner being Skinner. Their defensive play is horrid.

The biggest reversal has been the PP which I was not expecting at all, the Oilers can no longer run guys or do Edmonton things because it's a threat now and they're making them pay. Buster has really started to get under their skin.

I would be extremely worried about this series were I Knobhead and if the Kings win you can kiss McDavid goodbye next summer, probably sick of losing like Eichel was.

Only reason the games have even been in question at times is when LA players start getting jumpy for no reason. Fiala looks like someone who worked out hard a couple hours too long then took some meth to compensate....just all over but not right.....they all need to stop that
