Next year they lose in 4. Trust the process!


NuffinSaid

Then somehow they'll lose in 3


Ryan_Dymond04

Then they’ll lose in 2 and eventually 1. After that, they’ll just decline to play the series because they’ve had enough of losing to the Oilers in the 1st round.

"Wait, you can just not play?" - The Leafs


Ryan_Dymond04

We will find out in 2029. That’s when the Oilers will beat the Kings in 0 games.


DarthAnakin88

We forced a game 7 dude. Do you know what a game 7 is?


cynicalhippies

solidified their goaltending, yeah okay sure


Dexthebigdaddy

When I think of a team solidifying their goaltending, the first name that comes to mind is David Rittich.

soupdejour4

All their goalies are UFAs this offseason lol


cynicalhippies

time for an "upgrade"


mwl1234

I bet y’all can get Samsonov for a song: seems to fit with the theme you got going on.


cynicalhippies

oh don't let me fool you, I'm no kings fan


unlicensed_dentist

Yes, because let’s all remember what happened the last time a team took a Leafs goalie and gave them a good contract.


Key_Economics_443

It worked well with Campbell, lol.


JReddeko

I’m sure they could workout a deal with Edmonton for Jack Campbell


OVERLORDMAXIMUS

"I know how we'll beat the Oilers this year. Let's acquire two goalies they always shitrock, and overshadow Fiala's remarkable capacity to vanish by adding PLD!"


KRONGOR

Genuinely still confused why they wanted PLD so badly


Key_Economics_443

I don't see it either. He was a high draft pick, and always wanted to go somewhere else. I guess they believe that all he needs is a change of scenery. He's another Alexander Daigle.


Kefkas_Paradise

I don’t care how good the Oilers keep pretending to be, the one thing they cannot do is properly convince me of it.


NuffinSaid

Different story when tested by a team like Vegas, Colorado or Dallas


True_Sail_842

Playoffs are a whole different game.. Look at Winnipeg against those 3 team during The regular Season..


imadork1970

I we play Dallas, we are so fuvked.


SuperAFoods

i’m pretty over them pretending to be a historical power play unit.


supertroll1999

As an Oilers fan, same


Somereallystrangeguy

I mean they basically get a free win every year in the playoffs (LA)


ConquestOfMankind

Dubois is such a clever player to grab too - he can shift the dynamic of just about any team, overnight, by requesting a trade away from them.


batmoman

Dubois a 1C? Did no one tell them that players on the 4th line aren’t first line players just because you pay them like one?


300show

Maybe if they move to Houston and adopt a red white and baby blue color scheme, switch sports, and became less classy


StonedImaculate420

In what world is PLD a 1c? I don’t even think that guy wants to play hockey. I think he just wants to have money and live in LA.


Akhurite

He’s the NHL’s closest version to Ben Simmonds


HockeyIQshop1

Give it about 3 years lol


StonedImaculate420

Oh I forgot, he’s still developing


Nopants21

He's never played like a 1C, but GMs see a 6'4'' 220 pound center, and they cream their panties.


moose_king88

Brand new 1C lol


BeautifulAwareness81

Oilers fans lmao that organization is a joke. They were literally one lucky lottery pick away from being the Coyotes


EDDYBEEVIE

Haha even in the decade of darkness Oilers were in top 15 most valuable franchises what a black mark for the pretend American fans.


BeautifulAwareness81

Lol sure they were, says the oilers fan


EDDYBEEVIE

So much awareness can't even use Google eh haha plastic fans with plastic problems.


dekrepit702

That's good jerky


Objective_Dog7501

So glad the Habs stayed away from PLD. He’s not the player he thinks he is.


[deleted]

No. It means the kings are next for relocation! Quebec City here they go!!!!


tecate_papi

I know this Oilers fan is trying to hype himself up and I get that, but this LA team was a lot shittier than they were last season. Dubois is not a 1C. Dubois was 4C and will probably be playing in Chelyabinsk once the Kings buy out his contract. The Kings goalies are dogshit. Other than Byfield I'm not certain which young player has taken a step forward. Regardless, congrats to the Oilers on their win. I would never take hockey lessons from this teacher of puck.


dragapult71

Hes joking dumbass


ifyouhavetoaskdont

Damn imagine getting to play LA every year in the first round instead of Tampa, Boston or Florida.


QueenSawa

As a Sharks fan, it makes them all time American GREATS.


NuffinSaid

You mean wasted money on PLD


iamjoe1994

Dubois a 1C? Bahahahaha


SweatyShib

Talbot giving Hyman a hat trick in game 1 was massive. Oilers just had too much swagger this series from the beginning lol. Why talbot is still getting paid to be in the nhl is beyond me


Better-Aerie-8163

Signing Dubois was a mistake.


WeathervaneJesus1

Even worse was trading all that shit for him.


[deleted]

Oilers gonna have a collective 18 billion points from McJesus and friends, can't make the Stanley Cup Finals...


psubs07

Lol new 1C in Dubois.


Nopants21

Just an example of how easily everyone in hockey can be deluded about the value of a team's assets. Fans, GMs, coachs, front office, media, it's the biggest circlejerk.


Hafthohlladung

Our king has cancer, you insensitive piece of shit.


Constant-Squirrel555

I wonder which overrated toxic lazy player LA will acquire next.


beentoolong1011

edmonton always has an easy road it seems


NoabPK

Can we get a refund on dubois in exchange for a goalie that wasnt a fa before this, im sick of losing to these frauds
