Mikey Andersson will be back in over Moverare.

Hot take, I think the real fight between these two teams will be their bottom-6 and depth players.

oh I didn't know that I just put in what Daily Faceoff had as LA's starting line up

Should I put the full line ups of both teams in here then?

No worries, just letting you know.

I don't think you have to do all that work. We won't know the real final lines anyhow, but the Matchups will be figured out by who can most effectively shut down McDavid, Kopitar or Danault.

EDIT: Nevermind you already did it, lol

I dont think its that hot of a take, we saw what Toews did in tue bubble vs McDrai

My money is on Danault. What he did against Matthews-Marner, Stone and even Point to a lesser extent, was incredible last season. There's a reason why MacKinnon said he's the hardest player to play against.

Agreed, but Danault's role has changed this season dramatically, his offensive burst has come at the cost of some of his defensive prowess. His line has surprisingly led our offense since January with Moore and Arvidsson. Kopitar is a Selke winner with extensive playoff experience. It will have to wait to see which player can contain him best and the other will be tasked with finding offense vs. Drai.

These coaches both know each other very well, it's going to be a chess match.

Oilers are A LOT deeper team then they were in 2020

Never said they weren't

just saying it would be as easy as it was in 2020, and also unlike in playoffs past McDavid and Drai aren't gonna have to be put on the same line because McDavid/Drai's crappy winger or wingers can't get the job done.

Dont get me wrong, I still think Edmonton wins but people writing the series off are underrating LA
