Hockey Feud: Kings vs Oilers Betrayal

'The Curse of the King: A True Crime Tale of Hockey’s Most Bizarre Feud'

Prologue: The Heist
June 6, 1990. The Great Western Forum, Los Angeles. The Edmonton Oilers, hockey’s high-flying dynasty, stood on the brink of their fifth Stanley Cup in seven years. But in a twist fit for a noir thriller, the underdog Los Angeles Kings—led by the enigmatic Wayne Gretzky, the very man who once was the Oilers—stole Game 1 in overtime.

It was the beginning of a heist that would fracture a kingdom.

Act I: The Betrayal

Two years earlier, in August 1988, the unthinkable happened: Oilers owner Peter Pocklington, drowning in debt, sold Gretzky to the Kings in a deal brokered in shadowy secrecy. The trade wasn’t just business—it was personal. Gretzky, the Oilers’ crown prince, was now wearing the enemy’s purple and black.

Rumors swirled: Was Gretzky complicit? Did Pocklington pocket mob money? The truth was murkier than a back-alley deal. But one thing was clear—the Oilers never forgave him.

Act II: The 1990 Playoffs – A Revenge Plot Unfolds

By 1990, the Oilers were still a powerhouse, but Gretzky’s Kings were rising. When the two teams collided in the second round, it wasn’t just a playoff series—it was a reckoning.

Game 3, Edmonton. Gretzky, the prodigal son returned, was booed like a fugitive. Then, in a moment of chilling symbolism, he took a high stick from former teammate Kevin Lowe—blood dripped, the crowd roared. The Oilers won, but the message was clear: This was war.

Game 6, Los Angeles. With the series tied 3-3, Gretzky orchestrated his masterpiece—a five-point night, dismantling his old team with surgical precision. The Kings advanced. The Oilers’ dynasty was dead. Gretzky had pulled off the ultimate inside job.

Act III: The Fallout – A Curse is Born

The Oilers never recovered. Within years, Mark Messier was gone. The team spiraled into mediocrity. Meanwhile, Gretzky’s Kings never reached the Finals, as if the hockey gods punished both sides for their betrayal.

To this day, the feud lingers—Oilers fans still whisper that Gretzky owed them one more Cup. Kings fans retort that he delivered their greatest moment.

Epilogue: The Ghosts of 1990

Decades later, when the Oilers and Kings meet, echoes of that 1990 showdown resurface. The trade. The blood. The overtime dagger. It’s more than a game—it’s a true crime story of loyalty, greed, and the night a king dethroned his own crown.

And somewhere, in the shadows of Rogers Place or the crypt of Crypto.com Arena, the ghost of that feud still skates. Waiting. Watching.

Case unsolved.
