Around the league part 2

[SettlementRichie10]

Imagine forechecking.

 

[Shellz]

I have a feeling there’s going to be a lot of back and forth just like when they played the Kings

 

[KOPITARRULEZ11]

Well it wasn’t just our PK

I think their pp is just that deadly glad to see we aren't the only ones getting burned

 

[Shellz]

Skinner is going to have another tough series. But, luckily for the Oilers the other goalie isn’t too great either.

 

[bland]

NJ looked pretty over matched in that 5-1 loss. Don't sleep on the Canes.

They are winning the Cup this year.

 

[jgs]

Vegas is sustaining much more offensive zone pressure on the Oilers and out shooting the Oilers

 

[kingsfan28]

Nurse and Draisaitl were so bad on goal 2. Draisaitl just coasted from the blueline in and let the guy walk in and score.

 

[Herby]

NJ should consider putting L Hughes in for Game 2. Their defense just looks so slow vs Carolina, they could use someone who moves better.

 

[King'sPawn]

I'm convinced East coast writers only stay up till 10 PM their time.

 

[jgs]

Well the star studded Oilers don't look like stars so far. Vegas has size and its going to give the Oilers lots of problems.

 

[kingsfan28]

Damn, Vegas up 3-1.

 

[jgs]

That was a bad goal to allow from that area of the ice.

Haha, this is so true. That last goal by EDM . Banks it off his lid and in from an insane angle. Another lucky goal for them.

Vegas - Oilers is going to be a crazy series. Subpar goalies for both teams. It might be last goal wins in each game.

 

[LAKings88]

I argued with Oilers fans that Vegas was a difficult matchup. Vegas can take the game to them. LA settled for prevent and capitalize if possible. Could be a long series but Vegas has a good chance of knocking them out imho.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

Vegas has the team most Kings fans want to have. Deep, physical, aggressive on the forecheck, balanced on D.

 

[YAYSAY]

Oilers having trouble getting actually forechecked, they're wondering why the Knights aren't just letting up and falling back to the 1-3-1 like the Kings

 

[jgs]

Do you all notice the respect the Oilers are giving the Vegas players. Not cheap shotting them like they did the Kings

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Exactly

Forechecking aggressively, especially that slug Desharnais

Imagine that, nawwwww we could never

 

[SettlementRichie10]

I know Edmonton had good even strength stats in the regular season, but their PP has really carried them in the playoffs.

 

[Mats26]

I wonder why. Maybe becasue Vegas has players that can dish it back.

lol Vegas' response is what a character team does.

 

[Shellz]

Oilers only have 17 shots lol

 

[SettlementRichie10]

Oilers only have 17 shots lol

I kinda hope Vegas torches Edmonton just to prove how many f***ing issues the Kings have to fix.

 

[King'sPawn]

Draisaitl has a hat trick and they're still losing.

Hoping he and McDavid can each have 3 point games each time and they get swept - and Oilers fans can keep deluding themselves.

4g for Lyon
