Vegas Golden Knights defeat Edmonton Oilers 4-2 - Advance to WCF

[EdmFlyersfan]

It's always the league or the ref's fault, the Oilers never lose

4 first overalls in 6 years and the Oilers fans still say the league is rigged against them...lol

Yeah... that's what I said... Sigh.

this felt like an out coached situation. Oilers did nothing to adapt except pair Mcdavid and Drai together nothing else changed. Vegas plugged up holes after bad periods and were relentless. However, let's be real: Oilers with above average to elite goaltending would be advancing with ease.

Officiating trash both ways. Hard to watch

 

[Mike C]

The line he’s giving you about Crosby and Lidstrom is pure fiction.

Drai is hardly the first player to do this in the line.

Billy Smith NEVER shook hands win or lose. he regarded the opponent as the enemy who was trying to take money out of his pocket and was very brash and vocal about it

Ironically he's talking about Edmonton fans here too lol

Sportsnet and Gene are holding a funeral today. Lol

Give Vegas an above average or elite goaltender and they would have won.

It feels like McDavid is having that Ovechkin like career where his team can't really get it done in the playoffs. Ovechkin won his cup 5 years ago at age 32. McDavid is only 26. He's had better runs at it than Ovechkin had for the longest time before they finally made it past the conference finals. McDavid and the Oilers will get their at some point. They have already had more success than the Caps did till 2018 and they had some real powerhouse Presidents Trophy caliber teams who couldn't win more than a round or 2 in the playoffs for years.

 

[TheBeard]

We call that the Dark Times. Missing the playoffs last year was better.

Holy f***. Move on already.

 

[MrvJets]

Idiots from Edmonton being, what they see, idiots.

Were they yelling we want Florida!!! Lol

 

[Mitts]

Draisaitl... What a fragile ego... including a massive flop in the 3rd period trying to draw a call.

I like how he jerked his hand away after the shake, stay classy Leon.

 

[hangman005]

Holy f***. Move on already.

I have moved on... I didn't even bring it up. I just stated that missing the playoffs because you don't deserve to be in the playoffs feels a whole lot better than getting eliminated due to a crap call followed by immediately by an epic collapse.

 

[Mitts]

He looks so sad

It's amazing

Looks he just stepped out of a trench in the Ukraine.

 

[MrvJets]

Kane's running crosscheck into Pietrangelo's neck was worse...

Kane the dirtbag should have gotten 4 games.

 

[ReHabs]

The Oilers are a blight on the NHL. What a waste of McDavid and Draisaitl's careers.

 

[17thRoundPick]

NHL is becoming really hard to follow.

They've not had more success. I mean, they made it one round further one time (and then got swept), but that's about it. Every other measure, the Ovechkin Caps were much better.

 

[ItWasJustified]

I'm happy that Evander Kane didn't get an opportunity to win a cup this year. And I'm happy that the Oilers fans that made Adam Larsson their whipping boy all the years he played there are all sad.

 

[MikeyMike01]

imagine ending up with a prison record over the Edmonton Oilers

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Glad Oilers are out. Hot streak and weak schedule to finish the season got their hopes up. Reality now sets in. Another wasted year of prime McDavid and Leon

 

[dragonballgtz]

Fighting in the upper bowl of an arena is about the dumbest thing one could ever do IMO.

 

[kranuck]

Knights are now 38-1 this year when scoring 4+ goals. Defense wins.

How is “they win when they score a ton of goal” in any way evidence that “defense wins”?

 

[kranuck]

Skinner was bad.... but so was the defense around him.

People slept on Vegas because they played 5 goalies... they still had the most wins in the conference because of their defense. Led the league in blocked shots..... Great D makes a goalies life so much easier. Not just the D-men- You got to get the support from your forwards on D. Two of the Knights goals tonight were because Draisaitl was not playing defense. I don't blame him considering how much time he plays.

They had the most wins because of shootouts.

3rd in regulation wins. Tied 2nd including OT.

Year #30 of Canada going without a stanley cup.

To put it into context Canada has won a World Series, NBA title and MLS title in that same time span despite only have at most a couple canadian reps in those leagues as opposed to the 6 to 8 the NHL has had.

for an even bigger mindf***; an American team won a Grey Cup since a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup.

They won the World Series before93 I thought?

 

[kranuck]

Ego is bigger than his head. The guy is one of the dirtiest “stars” in the league. Show some respect to the team that just bested you

Why the f*** would be shake hands with a guy who tried to wreck his hands with s slash?

f***ing ridiculous that anyone would criticize him over that.
