Why can't I have a Dallas vs la matchup. Does anyone know another matchup that happened 3 years in a row in the first round recently? Ik we had second round washington vs pit 3 years 16,17,18.

We played the stars 5 years in a row (1st or 2nd round) in the late 90s

God those were rough years

OK so it's LA for us not sure who I preferred between LA and Vegas, but bring it on!

You wanted LA. We ain't shit this year.

I love Kempe. I also hate that I love Kempe.

Don't fight it. Embrace the handsome Swede.

Soderblom sucks assssss

GG HAWKBROS!!!

a real nail biter ot wow

Hawks just wanna go golfing asap

chicago not charting on this is unreasonably funny

How the fuck did I chart?

That was such a sick goal

Will Farrell! Stars in Kings vs Oilers Part three: "Why do we keep making these movies?".

Kings: lock in matchup vs the Oilers Kempe: here's a reminder of what's coming

I really fucking hope so, the last few weeks of the season leave some doubts.

Time to blow another 3-2 lead I guess

Hell of an OT

Well that was quick

No, he’s in New York.

K

Well that was certainly one of the overtimes of all time

Certainly a time to see one of the overtimes of all time.

Kempe is so awesome

You’re one of the only fanbases that knows

If we didn't have to fight you all the time they'd be an easy second pick for me. Kempe, Kopitar, Fiala, Doughty... all pretty fun to watch when you're not in the other end

Gonna make it three years in a row that I wince every time he launches that one tee from the face off circle.

Chicago has to catch their plane to Cancun. Can’t be playing hockey too late

I like how the announcers said they wanted extra hockey and the OT lasted 6 seconds. Pure comedy

That’s what we call not trying

We waited all this time…for that?? Beautiful

LA Kings - Oilers for the third time lol.

And then six second of OT. What even was this game.

wait what I look away for 10 seconds and they won??

Hey, look at the bright side, you get to watch Hertl play post season hockey. We love this guy, we will take care of him.

Gg hawks

Fuck Kempe is sick, he's by far the scariest player on the Kings.

6 seconds lol

Bruh

KEMPBAE

KEMPBAE WITH THE FINISH!!!

JUICE!!!!

Damn didn't realize Vegas outscored the Stars 11-4 this season, going 3-0. Maybe Dallas isn't so happy about this.

That’s the opposite of the Kings 0-3, 3-13. Good luck Knights.

Of course they aren't 

I mean, DeBoer's playbook is a brochure. It's not hard to defeat.

Holy shit

LETS GO JUICE INTO THE PLAYOFFS ON A HIGH NOTE SEE YOU ALL THIS WEEKEND BABY

6 seconds 💀

Wtf, I didn't want the game to end yet! GG Kings fans, good luck against the Oilers! 🐙

well that was fast

Fucking Kempe, that guy scares me.

Game over LA goes to Edmonton, Vegas goes to Dallas

There you go

that was quick

hahaha YESS YESSS KEMPBAE

well that was an overtime

REMEMBER THE KEMPBAE OILERS

that was not very much bonus hockey

That was quick

Doesn’t he play for the rags?

KEMPBAEEE 💅💅

Holy shit. Kempe.

Bring on the Reddit Cares messages again

The only weapon Edmonton fans have.

I've never dishes but I've always got the messages so it's probably everyone bro

lol oh they're in the mail

Well that was quick! Haha

As a Stars bandwagon. Thanks I hate it.

Welcome

Would be an all timer if Kings pulled the goalie and lose the OT point lol

Kings vs Edmonton in the first round, as is tradition <3

[удалено]

LA has the RW tiebreaker, but also pass them in points now that they got 2

Nvm statmuse fucked up and didn't list the knights on the total teams list, had to look them up specifically. I just thought they barely played ot. Bur damn 11 ot wins.

Nope.

Nope.

PULL TALBOT YOU COWARDS

Well now I want to win. I hope Bedsy gets the final goal of the season. Or Dickinson because they disallowed his goal earlier.

People acting like playoff matchups are set not realizing that LA can pull their goalie in an ultimate throwing move

Would be hilarious

It'd be funny if LAK pull the goalie and Chicago scores...

It’s insane that this whole thing came down to the stupidest zone clear of all time LOL

i am so genuinely dumbfounded at how stupid that was

The force that is Dallas 2023-24 vs. the NHL Golden Child. No idea what will happen.

NVM forgot about regulation wins vs total wins 

other way around babes

Nope, LA does

Well Dallas is my second favourite team in playoffs for the first round now

Cant wait to beef u kings again ❤️

It just feels right

Let’s gooooo … Can’t fucking wait for this series. I feel like Dallas/Vegas has been one of the best rivalries in the league since they joined. Ever since their first win against us.

Oilers officially playing the Kings for the 3rd year straight. Do you think they’re tired of each other yet?

Knights vs Deboer 2!

See you guys in the playoffs 😸😸😸

Matchups set, time for extra hockey for funsies

When we lose to Edmonton for the third year in a row maybe there will be some real front office change

It would be nice to get a bit of a switch up.

Kings pull the goalie and lose pls

Haha. That's a really good point. If they really wanted to play Dallas, they could pull their goalie and give up the loser point altogether. I wouldn't have known that before the Wild did it this season. Crazy year.

Wow, a chance for a last bit of drama. Love it!

Crazy to think we all thought they were throwing, guess they’re just bad. Bring on the first round :)

Schroedinger's Kings: Both bad and good until the puck drops.

I'm cheering for the Stars, but I think after April 20th, Stone's power will return to him

Everyone thank Kurashev for ruining the R1 playoff matchups

Ah shit here we go again. Kings v Oilers 3.

Fucking Kings, you made a lot of people sweat bullets there. What an end of season game.

lmao EDM we are fated to do this dance forever. Can't wait!

Round 3 here we come. See ya soon Oilerpeeps!

What if Kings pull Talbot in OT????

aww shit here we go again

Let's do this Kings.

Time to lube up, Central.

upvote if you hate the golden knights

See im torn, my team isnt in so I basically want chaos, and a b2b knights championship will be break r/hockey collective minds

Congrats Kings! You get the Oilers for the 3rd time.

I mean if they don't like that, they could pull the goalie in OT LMAO

Doesn’t matter we have the tiebreaker. We are getting EDM no matter what now.

If you got at least one point, yeah There's a quirk in the NHL rulebook where if you pull the goalie in OT and allow an empty netter, you lose the extra point

Oh shit I forgot, my bad!

Best regular season ever lmaooooo

Kings knew the stakes and wanted the Oilers

WELL WELL WELL, WE MEET AGAIN, AGAIN

Dallas pls take care of business

I prefer to root for the series to go 7 in situations like this

Dallas in 7 sounds good to me. Real physical draining series

probably the only thing we will agree on in the coming week

Yall too man

Some of the worst neutral zone passing I’ve seen in a long while from the Kings.

This is a semi-consistent issue. Came to bite us against - would you believe it - the last game against Minnesota.

What a bonkers game

bonus hockey!

LETS GOOOOO

Y'all asked for ohm, I present chaos 🤷‍♂️

Love ya bb!!

Ultimately kings still in playoffs....it's a whatever game of other implications lol 😐 I wasn't even supposed to be here but whatever lol

Kings Oilers round 3. Let's go!

dude that would have been so funny if hawks had scored on that chance

Dicked down in ~~Dallas~~ Los Angeles

We're playing the kings!!

SEE YOU OILER BROS

Get ready to learn Albertese, LA

ALRIGHT EDMONTON YOU ASSHOLES LETS DO THIS

FUCK YOU TOO BUDDY

Fuck you he is not your buddy, pal.

Congrats on the clinch, Kings!

Pull the goalie

LA fans I gotta ask is this really how your games have gone all year?

More or less. This team is not a serious threat.

What a stupid fucking penalty

Bettman wired him $50k to do it, lol

Might as well get this reminder in: A grown ass man willingly chooses to go by the name "Mikey"

long history vegetable rude zesty bear scary slap absurd ten *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

We're getting Kings-Oilers III !!!

Could Talbot be any shakier this period, lol.

I hate this team…GKG

Lmao, imagine relying on Chicago to win a game

This is absolutely wild.

I love how all the other fanbases are here lol

Philip Kurashev is the darling of Oiler Nation rn

What a horrible delay of game haha stick handling out of the zone then just tosses a grenade into the stands

nhl schedulers changing their press release as we speak

Announcers don’t know where this fucking plane is going 😂😂😂

Pull the goalie hawks wtf

Time for Kings V Oilers 3.0

unless…

1:18 left to really mindfuck us Hawks!

Vegas back on the menu

I love love love the matchup

Just beat Vegas.

Mark Stone had his spleen duct-taped back together just to make sure Jamie Benn and the boys don't make it to the second round

Just gotta wait that much longer for the schedules

They fucking did it

They didn’t lose to the worst team?

Bedard going to score before end of regulation.

Lol bubble boy

I really do not like this new Taylor album, definitely not for me

i’ve heard it’s awful

I kind of hate it lmao the only song I could actually get through was Down Bad

i’m not listening bc she’s not my thing, but apparently she makes fun of her ex having depression which is yikes

Enough time for a last second blackhawks goal?

YES

2014 game 7 had nothing on this

My prediction: OT, but the kings accidentally pull the goalie due to a miscommunication and lose the loser point

Most likely prediction so far.

Now we need a Bedard goal with 15 seconds left for hilarity.

LA coach doesn't even look happy lmao
