The Kings scoring a power-play goal with 16 seconds left in regulation and another power-play goal in overtime for a 4-3 overtime win in Game 1 vexed Oilers fans, because their team led by two goals twice in the game.

"I really don't care," Kopitar said Wednesday before Game 2 of the best-of-seven series.
"I didn't get hit. That's all that counts."
Oilers vice-president Tim Shipton wrote in a statement to The Canadian Press that Edmonton's loud and passionate fans give the team a huge home-ice advantage inside Rogers Place.
"We know emotions run even higher during the playoffs and to ensure the safety of fans, players and officials, we’d like to remind fans to refrain from throwing things on the ice," Shipton said.
