Scoring first against these guys is absolutely key. LA scoring first and settling into their 1-3-1 defensive pattern for the rest of the game is their only hope of beating us.

I agree. However, this is the 3rd time they have played the Kings in the playoffs. Plus all the times they have played them in the last few seasons and all of the success. I think the Oilers know and have finally accepted, even as much as they hate doing it, if the dump the puck in behind the Kings dmen, they can get past the 1-3-1, they are the better team and can still generate offense.
In my opinion, FINALLY, the key players have figured out that if the goal is truly to win, you have to adapt your game at times. I don't think that was the case a few years ago. SO even if the Kings get the first goal, I don't see it as much of an issue as it was a few years ago.

I was listening to some Podcast (So many fill my time I cannot recall), but they said the Oilers skipped the pre-anthem skate around around and went right to the blueline in anticipation, helmets off and ready for business, while the Kings floated around which is customary in my experience.
This team is doing it's best to get into work mode from the first puck drop. I love it. Now if only we can find a routine after each shift a goal is scored for, or against.
|
But I am not like some who are all nervous or assuming the worst.

I am always nervous and assuming the worst from shift to shift during the playoffs. That is just me though. If I am worried and complaining, that just means I am happy and in a good place.
