I'm thinking
Perry-McD-Drai
Pods-RNH-Arv
Skinner-Henrique-Kane
Kap-Janmark-Brown
I have no evidence of this, whatsoever
Game 1 was LA's first playoff regulation win since game 4 of 2022, and that streak ALMOST continued, so i like the chances of the Oilers winning this series.
Going to be a big game and could decide how the rest of the series goes. Players to watch: McDavid, Kane, and Stu. McDavid has awoken, he is now in McJesus mode. Kane is someone new to me as I just got into hockey and this team this year, going to be very interested in how he plays. We need Stu to have a bounce back game, lock in big guy. Oilers 3-1. After getting a game together I think the team is going to be ready for the start of this one and I think they win it. I also think it's going to be a lot more tight defensively from both teams hence the low score.
Before the edit I had Jeff Skinner as one of my players to watch but someone decided to scratch him and not Frederic who is clearly still injured. 😐 I hate that decision.
GO KINGS!!!!! 🏴☠👍
Kane being injected into the lineup should bring a big boost to the boys – let’s absolutely crush this game and put some doubt into the queens
LINEUP UPDATE:

Thumbnail is very Austin Hockey like.
I am sooo hyped with tonight's game! I think I will watch it live, despite local time will be 4:00AM at puck drop here in Europe… And I must be at work tomorrow at 8:00 AM… If the Oilers play a great game and they win, everything will be OK. Otherwise… I prefer not to think about it!
That said, in case of an Oiler's win, I will be wearing a Connor McDavid shirt tomorrow at work, although nobody will notice and/or understand what does that shirt mean at all. 😅
3-1 LA 🙂
Last 3 post seasons between these 2 teams who ever won game 1 lost game 2! I’m going oilers ml let’s gooooooo, skinner you better stand on ya head my boy!
Get Dineen in !! Gotta tighten up the D zone !!
Quite literally will be there, you guys better not scare my ass again.
KANE IS IN!
They need to win today and make it 1-1, I always try to believe but I don’t know, I just don’t see it. Maybe if Kane is in and Bouchard plays D
I’ll say 4-3 oilers
J Skinner scratch? i hate that knobs still doesn’t have any trust in him
Alright I predict 4-0 LA. Why? We have Skinner.
Not Skinner 😕 play picard! Enough of the insanity
Became a fan of yours due to your excellent and fair coverage last year. Looking forward to watching you throughout the playoffs this year.
Stu seemed cool as a cucumber during that enterprise interview, maybe he knows something we don't. I know I'm hard on Stu he literally determines whether the boys win or lose so i believe I should hold not just him but all goalies to a higher standard. Lets Go Boys I got SN App for you. See you later Austin.
Been Watching your content as a Kings fan trying to get the other perspective around the series. Your channel is amazing! Wish you were on our side haha
Frederic in the lineup over Skinner is diabolical
Oilers will continue scoring. We will be wild from the start. Perry scores 2
It all depends on the refs. They sure are biased. We sure look good when we play good hockey. LG Oilers
I still think we would have won if it wasn’t for the refs. Lets put these kings on a golf break Oilers
Oilers win 3-2 regular time
Kane and John kliingberg are playing today Austin
Evander Kane coming back tonight. Your first game in a year and a half and it's a playoff game. I really don't know how anybody could get ready for something like that.
Sounds like the coach might be a little nervous about tonight's game. I predict Kane to take a stupid penalty.
How may assists is Boucher going to get tonight? Not assists to an Oiler player, but slot passes to the kings?
How many softies is Skinner going to let in tonight?
without Eklund your screwed.
Defense is terrible…
Kings winning the series in 5 games
