What bothers me about it is it shows the Kings have the Oilers frustrated and they are under their skin.
I said it in the other thread. I believe it's in between the ears for the Oilers. They are the better team. They have shown that when they want to play, the Kings can't compete. The Oilers played like trash last game, let the Kings do their game and then when the Oilers decided to turn it on, they damn near won the game in the 3rd. If that period was 5 mins longer, they would have won. The Oilers need to relax, stop forcing things and do their thing and they will beat the Kings. But it's in their minds and that can be hard to overcome.

I'll disagree on the better team part. They are a tier or two or three better in goal. We have higher end top players at forward, but they have better depth or atleast play better. And I'm more inclined to give a judge's decision to the Kings on defense.

Player for player, the Oilers are better at most positions. All you have to do is look at who each team dressed and there aren't too many positions where the Kings have a better player. Are the Kings playing their style and system better than the Oilers? Absolutely. Are the Kings outworking the Oilers, absolutely.
When the Oilers play their game, they beat the hell out of the Kings. The whipped them game 2 and 3 and when they turned it on last night in the 3rd, it wasn't close.
