What makes Oilers vs. Kings so compelling?
What makes the Oilers and Kings matchup so compelling? How big of a loss is Mattias Ekholm for Edmonton? What must go right for the Canadiens to beat the Capitals? What will Tom Wilson bring to the series against the Habs? Who do you think will win the Stanley Cup? TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button joined SC with Jay Onrait to discuss.

I think the Oilers are playing possum.
If Kane, Hyman, and Fredrick are ready to go….They're gonna be a big problem.
Oh and perry doing what he's been doing
There is nothing gripping. The only suspense is whether the Kings will sweep the Oilers or win in 5.
Button does this every year. He will eat his words
Stop talking to button
Oilers will win, water is wet
For the Oilers to win two things need to happen. Jake Walman is as good as Ekholm, whether that value comes from offense or defence he needs to replace the value Ekholm gave. The second is health. These guys have been playing it safe. This forward group is full of people capable of scoring goals. I don't even know who they put on the bottom 6 and that is not a bad thing. So Walman being solid, and the health being good and this lineup is right up there with our SCF roster last year.
Oilers in 4
Button's Oiler's hate shown clearly AGAIN.
I have some concern about the Oilers' small D, but if they play as a team their higher skill will shine through against the Kings.
Oilers in 5 maybe 6
Button is a Calgary man couldn't pick the oilers if they were up by 5 in game 7 with 30 seconds left!
Button is such a coward, stop hedging your stupid bet. Button picked against the oilers in every round of last seasons playoffs.
someone needs to tell Button, you dont have to be the game 7 Edmonton Oilers to beat the Kings lol
Oilers stink
And Button would put money on the Leafs or the Jets? lol both choke artists.
Button is talking out of his a**
Button is an idiot… Doesn't know jack. Oilers will beat the Kings again.
kings in 6
button🤡🤡🤡
The only reason the Kings even have a chance is due to all of the Oilers’ health concerns. With a full roster at 100%, Kings would be cooked. But this year, my money is on them.
Oilers in 6
Skinner is going to have a hell of a series, just watch
where is bros socks?
Everyone tough until they get punched in the nose. La kings have been punched 3 years in a row. I doubt they're going to act tough against the Oilers.
MC David wants the Cup….but…..Los Angeles wants to take emOUT….we shall see.
Oilers are the dark horse this year cause no one has seen what their lineup looks like come game 1.
Oilers fans are delusional
Everyone is picking La. Everyone saying no Ekolm. No one is saying if Kane comes back like he did when they played the flames this oil team going to be hot.
Didn’t Button emphatically say the Oilers had no chance to beat Dallas in the WCF last year?
Oilers do not have the Goaltending,Oilers are to old to slow and to vanilla, they are going to take far to many penalties this year due to a lack of discipline and a need to simply keep up to the pace to score their ways out of their problems. Kings in 5.
i love how these talks are just thinly veiled gambling ads.
How many times have we see McDavid trailing the play as the other team scores? The Oilers will not play defensive hockey. They can lose 6 to 5 any day of the week. Love the socks, Craig. I wear the same kind myself.
LA in 4/5/6 or 7, but its also possible Oilers in 4/5/6 or 7
Skinner looked good his last few games
LA in 6
Craig button is great for this tv! 🇨🇦
Button confirms it. We're getting an 06 Stanley Cup Final rematch.
Button is the Jim Kramer of hockey predictions. Inverse Oracle speaks again.
You can listen to button’s analysis or just look at the standings. Higher seed wins. Lazy.
Doesn’t Button bet against Edmonton every year?
Button is CLUELESS on Oilers, period!
