Don’t see why this is surprising. Winnipeg is more than capable of coming out of this division if things come together.

if Winnipeg comes out of the division, it means something went horribly wrong for Edmonton and the Leafs

Eliminate McDavid and Drai from the scoreboard, that's all you have to do. They have utter crap up front, other than the big 2.

It's more like big 1.5. Draisaitl on his own line is a massive liability, he's much better suited as a winger on McDavid's line permanently.

If the Sabres blow it up, the Oilers should try to get Reinhart to make that happen.

Entertainment should carry you until the Leafs/Habs game tomorrow night...

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

If Edmonton loses this series this is the game they'll be kicking themselves for losing. No Ehlers or Dubois for Winnipeg and the Oilers still managed to go and flub it. Reminds me of the Leafs in '99 when they managed to lose to a Hasek-less Sabres team in Game 1.

You know who the Oilers need...Connor Bedard. And then a few more 1st overalls and they will be well on their way.

 

[smokes lets go]

I cant tell whether Mackar or Mackinnon is more exciting to watch. Makar walks the point better than prime Karlsson.

 

[Gallagbi]

Man, this AVS team is crazy impressive

Yep a quick Oil Change and they'll be good.

The blues and the west are pretty terrible.

McDavid and Draisatls ghosts in game 1

Gotta love it

Should go far if Grubauer is steady.

 

[Mats13]

Here I thought that McDavid and Draisaitl were better than peak Crosby and Malkin.

How the f*** do they get shut down against that defense.

Because it’s easy to pound on Calgary and Ottawa in meaningless games

Much harder when there’s less space in the playoffs

Can’t lie. I’m going to enjoy the Oilers tears for the next couple of days

They were ok me think, but I think a week layoff kind of evens up chances in game 1. We better be ready as puck drops.

Brutal.

Ovechkin was yelling at Samsonov in Russian after that. Never seen him that pissed.

One should be when team goes through three games with 70, 90, 70 plus hits.

Career Playoffs

McDavid (18gms): ES 5gls, 8pts ----- PP 4gls, 9pts (vs. ANA, SJS, CHI, WPG)
Matthews (25gms): ES 9gls, 14pts - PP 3gls, 5pts (vs. WSH, BOS, BOS, CBJ)

I don't care who wins the Oil Jet series, I just want it to go seven games please

 

[keonsbitterness]

lol, Parayko just gave Makar a nasty glove to the face.

For two players who aren’t good defensively, their value is directly tied to production.

Good effort with no results isn’t good enough in the playoffs

Landeskog set the tone again on the first shift.

 

[mix1home]

Wow, what was the Washington goalie doing on that one? Stops the puck behind the net along the boards, but doesn't shoot it away, nor hurry back in net...almost like he went blank.

It’s on D as well as on goalie. Samsonov left him the puck. But he was looking wrong way to find his outlet winger on board and I bet he didn’t even know Bruins forward was behind him. D allowed Smith to go inside and go for wrap around. Too casual play all around and confusion about position of opposition players just like last game ot.

 

[TMLeafer]

Good win by the Jets, they kept McDrai in check.

 

[Superstar]

Paul Maurice must have made his team watched the 3 game sweep by the Leafs against the Oilers from earlier this season.

But yeah, shutdown McDrai and the Oilers are done.

Samsonov should still have gotten back to his net earlier.

Kadri is probably just got himself suspended again. High hit to the head.

upd: major penalty and he is gone from the game.
