The final score of the final game was 4-3, but that was just a bookkeeping detail because the series was over long before the final horn sounded. The Oilers outscored the Kings 22-13 in the five games, with nine of those goals coming in 19 chances on the power play.
For Kings' defenseman Drew Doughty, losing in the first round of the playoffs three years in a row was the crucial point, irrespective of the opponent. The disappointment and desire to win the series remained consistent.
The Los Angeles Kings' management, specifically focusing on interim coach Jim Hiller and general manager Rob Blake, faces questions regarding the team's playoff performances and potential changes needed in leadership roles.
