Les Kings et Oilers sont sur une route de collision pour se rencontrer pour la quatrième année consécutive au premier tour des séries éliminatoires. Edmonton a remporté les trois dernières séries, mais cette année sera-t-elle différente? Le directeur du Scoutisme TSN Craig Button partage ses pensées.

Great motivation locker room pre-game content for Edmonton. Thanks Craig! Oilers in 6 games
Oilers when healthy are a better team than last year. We will also have Frederic and Kane in the lineup. Plus Nurse is playing the best hockey of his career.
It's funny how much Craig switches. Didn't he predict the Oilers as the Stanley cup winners this season?
Edmonton just learning from Vegas. Act injured all year and then run everyone over come playoffs. Oilers don’t don’t have ekholm, McDavid, didn’t have draisaitl for awhile, no Fredrick from Boston who is a big nasty guy to play against and if Evander Kane comes back for playoffs yeah good luck oilers gonna be a nasty team to play against
It will be the Jets and Oilers in the WCF and the Oilers lifting the Cup against Ottawa.
“I don’t think Montreal can win one game” – Craig button, before the first round of the 2021 playoffs
Oilers will absolutely lose in round 1. Oilers don’t have it. Skinner is a disaster
The glazing of LA by everyone is insane. Edmonton will destroy them. Yet again.
😂 I’m kind of glad of Craig’s opinion. Most of the times things ended up being the opposite way. 😂😅
Craig is in bad moods today, but disagree!
Oilers will be underdogs against almost anybody with that horrid goaltending , they got lucky last year.
Everyone said last year the kings could surprise and win the series. More like 4th times a charm you do it enough maybe you break free who knows.
oh yes the matchup we've all been waiting for. Dying to see this series. Absolute Dross. Go back to 1v8 format please.
No Kane, no Fredic, the Oil will not be soft come play off time
I just love when Button gives his opinion. Lots of wishful thinking from this analyst.
You knew Button's answer before he opened his mouth. He's one of the biggest Oilers haters in media.
Jinx! That is an opposite result!
Who’s this rookie haha😂
They got lucky last year, they were never a great team, Skinner is a dumpster fire and McDavid is not at full potential
5 6 7 oilers this time oilers in 4
under dogs to a team they beat 3 years in a row gonna be 4 Kings did nothing to be better this year
Ok Stephen a smith
Oilers always hated. Nothing better than proving people wrong just like last year. Let’s go oilers
Button guys tilt to whoever looks good at the moment. Doesn’t looks at the reality that when they healthy. Plus the players that will make an impact upon return.. he’s talking for a pay checks so that’s understandable..
Button is an idiot. They just beat Vegas with no Fredic, McDavid, Ekholm, Kane….Oilers will beat LA in 5
Craig how much is LA paying you
older slower smaller -great MGT again & again. DAL is deep. Go WPG !
This guy flips his opinion like a pancake chef. As soon as one team starts winning he pretends any prediction he made on live television never happened…"what?…I never said that." 🤣 Doofus.
Can’t wait to replay this after the Oilers take out the Kings hahahaha
The same two dudes who said Dallas was beating EDM in WCF…
Unfortunately too many talking heads in the sports media do not closely follow the Oilers. McDavid, for one, has been coasting all year, missing games here and there, playing 70-80% most nights. Kane has not played a game yet this year, biding his time. Most of the team I think is coasting through the regular season at 70-80%, including Nuge, Hyman, Ekholm. Everyone other than Draisatl essentially. They are all resting up, saving their intensity and energy for the playoffs. After the experience of going to the finals last year, they know its important to conserve energy and peak at the right time.
It’s tempting to say the LA Kings will, in that upcoming conference quarterfinal with the Oilers, beat the Oilers provided neither team will end up catching the Golden Knights for first in the Pacific Division. From the 2019–20 season onward the Kings and Oilers have faced each other thrice in postseason play, and it’ll be interesting to find out what happens in that 2025 playoff series taking into a account the assumption that I made in my previous sentence.
Oilers like proving you wrong
Final 8 games for each team will almost assure home ice for Kings. Injury issues for Oilers + ongoing Skinner saga = Kings in 5.
Oilers fan here, but if the oilers get bounced early I’ll definitely be cheering for the Winnipeg Jets time to bring Stanley home.
Craig Buttons predictions – the kiss of death. Goodbye LA
Are we gonna act like a fully healthy oilers team doesn’t wipe the kings in 5?
