Will the Oilers beat the kings? How long will the series go?
Phil Gretzky:
I already wrote about this and my feelings haven’t changed from when I wrote the blog – yes they will beat the Kings and I’m going to say 4-2.
Sean Mallon:
Five games. Edmonton’s path toward playoff success involves lots of rest for Mike Smith. If they can’t knock off the Los Angeles Kings quickly, their chances in round 2 and beyond will dip heavily. The Kings aren’t a great team, and will be missing Drew Doughty as well. Close them out quickly and then start looking at a deeper run.
Lane Golden:
The Oilers will win this time thanks to their deeper lineup. They take the series in 6.
Devon Hladunewich:
I agree with Sean(Oilers in 5), I think the Oilers should win this series fairly easily.
