100% optimists. lol

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

We’ll go down 3-1, Ek will come back, we’ll win 3 straight

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

If the team that played game 5 shows up we win the series.

Otherwise I'm not so sure. They have a lot of work to do.

 

[FlameChampion]

I would never pick Vegas regardless. Hate Garys franchise.

 

[russ99]

Not expecting Ek back, but the Knights play more to our strengths, they’re not a sit back and make you fight through their defense style team. We play in our zone like games 5 and parts of game 6 and we should win the series.

That loss from 2 years ago still annoys me - time to get these MFs back

Sounds like it annoys Mcdavid too. Oilers in 5

 

[Satire]

Vegas won't give us gifts like LA did - hopefully the rust has come off, because I genuinely believe the only team that can beat the Oilers is the Oilers...

 

[syz]

On the plus side Hill's numbers are also pretty bad so far. I'm sure he'll turn back into Hasek like he always does against the Oilers though.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Oilers are a different team, whereas Vegas is more or less the same without Marchesault.

I think we can slay this dragon.

Vegas has Hertl and Hanifin this time around.

Not really.

Hertl?
Dorofeyev?
Hanifin?

 

[MoontoScott]

Like Mc-D said last night, the Oilers are going to get off to a faster start this time.

I think they will split in Vegas and win the series in 6.

Yeah next few days needs a few more things cleaned up. The odd man rushes have to get cut down. Overall Vegas isn’t quite as quick as LA I’m thinking which works well for us.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

LA and Vegas play 2 completely different systems. Vegas runs a hard press forecheck and seal the walls, and don’t sit back like the Kings. Their forecheck will put a lot of stress on our D, centres need to drop deep and be the short interior pass outlet. Can’t be playing loose with Vegas and they match us on our depth. Possibly the best team still standing. Going to be a very tough out.

Oilers in 7.

 

[Lacaar]

Oilers A game beats Vegas's A game

Oilers are a team that finds a way to lose game 1 consistently so I'm just going to accept Vegas starts with a 1-0 lead.

Can Vegas beat Edmonton in 3 of 6 games?

It's going 7 imo

It's time to bring this back
