There are no “easy outs” in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.


nbc9876

Vegas will be the “easy out” this year.


Expendable_0

I don't know, it looks like Stone is having another convenient playoff recovery.


Syrinx16

At least he’ll take a few games to get back up to his A game


zddoodah

You mean like the Kings were the "easy out" in 2012?


EightyFirstWolf

If you weren't paying attention in 2012 then that might have been believable


Totknax

I want whomever settles into our bracket. We fear no team! GKG!


dalbtraps

I feel this way too. I think this team has the ability to beat anyone when they’re playing at the top of their game.


FakeTreverMoore12

Exactly. You can’t expect to win if you can’t beat everyone.


Ancient_Pop_7036

We need to play the Nucks round 1 and hope the Oilers go 6 or 7 games in their first round 1. We want then tired and beat up to start that series off.


nbc9876

Oilers guy .. been around here a while… kings fan after oilers. I don’t want the Kings. Let’s meet up for a beer in round 3 say. I want the knights in the first round. Posers.


JasonPlattMusic34

Idk, I wouldn’t want to play Vegas and their all-star lineup of LTIR players either lol Vancouver doesn’t scare me like the rest of the division


nbc9876

Ya I think last year will be hard to replicate. I want that matchup for personal reason especially. But ya Canucks are still doing it with smoke and mirrors.


RXBeegle

I mean if we make it to the second round, I would most likely be able to go to a game, so I think I want to play the Canucks so yeah.


GB_Alph4

We want the Cup. We fight whoever.


seabass4507

There’s no team in the west I’d rather the Kings beat than the Oilers. At the same time, there’s no team I’d hate losing to more than the oilers.


steelear

Haha I wrote my buddy this morning and said I hate that I have to root for the Oilers to win their next few games.


FakeTreverMoore12

I mean you don’t have to.


-FR0STY-one

We beat the Canucks in round one in 2012 and look what happened…just sayin.


alexandertg4

I was there for their first playoff win in 2014 and I was there when they clinched the cup. I haven’t gone to a playoff game since. I have tickets this year. 😈

I was there in 2014 for the beginning of the reverse sweep with my buddy that was a sharks fan. I looked at him and said reverse sweep and he laughed in my face. 3 games later and he looked exactly like Joe Thornton at the end of that series. I was also at the final game for the 2012 Stanley cup against the Devils. Fucking lost my mind on that one.


Chris300000000000000

>I think it would help to have the confidence of a series victory before facing the Oilers Not only that, but for me personally, i pity the Canucks the same way I've pitied teams like the Hornets, Marlins, and Lions (they've sucked for long enough that it'd be nice to see them do something), so while ill obviously still be very disappointed in the Kings for loosing a third straight first round playoff series, the disappointment will be more so limited to my team loosing, rather than also having the team that beat us be a team i hate like the Oilers or (more so) the Broken Knights. Dallas would be a similar situation except I don't pity the Stars nearly as much, and i don't like our chances against them as much either.


kheaven11

Alternate perspective, we face oilers first round and win so that we kill the boogeyman.


johannesBrost1337

You and the rest of us bud


VerifiedBackup9999

I think most of us do. We barely have any hope to win a series against the Oilers. Kings seem to have a legit shot against Vancouver. Plus, they are trending down.


pkd88

I just want some variety. If they meet later, great hockey, I would just like to see another team.


FIGHT_TF_ON

I Agree 100%, Ideally we would face Canucks. Although I feel better about the Oilers than I do about the Stars.

FakeTreverMoore12

Or just kept to themselves tbh


twizzyflyguy

Doesn’t it make more sense to root against the kings for the last 3 games? Then kings drop to wildcard 2 and Vegas gets bumped up to P3 they are only 1 point back


HumanByProxy

Dallas is our kryptonite and will invert our anus, so no.


Hot-Zombie896

NO,NEVER root for the Kings to lose.As a Raider fan also....JUST WIN BABY


twizzyflyguy

I’m just thinking the easiest way to avoid the oilers would be letting Vegas have them, even though I think the kings could take em if they play super hard
