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

[LuGBuG]

Ha. Byeeeee.

 

[Haatley]

Did I blame anyone? I said the league got what they wanted. That's not blaming. I do think the League is poorly run and an embarrassment though but that has little to do with Oilers losing.

Why would the league want lower ratings, merch sales and ad revenue?

 

[Master P]

Yeah, that’s about right.

[Sasha Orlov]

Wow!

Big changes coming to Edmonton this off-season one would think

 

[rotiman187]

What happens when you literally only score on tbe powerplay lol

 

[dragonballgtz]

The way some people were talking about Skinner in this thread I thought he let in some bad goals but after watching the highlights that's not the case.... well maybe the 4th goal. Team defense was horrible in front of him.

On the tying goal Marchessault skated right on down even when RNH gave him a little bump. Ceci goes chasing, RNH fails to stay with March or he thought Draisaitl would pick him up. Unfortunately Draisaitl was puck watching and seemed like he didn't even notice March coming down from behind.

Go ahead goal. Draisaitl loses a puck battle, Skinner makes a save but puck goes straight up high in the air, THREE Oilers (Ceci, Nurse, Draisaitl) don't even attempt to watch the two VGK players behind Skinner and they bang home the puck that came back down.

Depth guys didn't produce and the coach just refused to start Campbell, the guy they paid a lot of money for. That's what happens.

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.

So Mark Stone should've not shook hands with every Oilers players who tried to wreck his back by giving him cross-checks? Or Kane who tried to smash his face in with his stick?

This is now truly sad.

You have the equivalent of today's Gretzky and Lemieux together, and every damn year they lose to a Glenn Healy.

Of course it doesn't help that modern day Steve Passmore lives in your crease.

Looks like the modern day Gretzky and Lemieux have a long way to go before achieving that status.

The league gets Canada's ratings, merch sales, and ad revenue whether they have teams in the playoffs or not.

Lmao

 

[The S5]

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

These guys fight like the Oilers defend.

 

[nocupsinhowlong]

Congratulations, Edmonton Oilers, on being the final lynch pin in ensuring no Cups for a Canadian city in over 30 years!!!

 

[LuGBuG]

Vegas fans. Have fun dealing with Oiler fans over that call. They still haven’t stopped whining about the 2017 Kesler goal.

They get more if they're in the playoffs.
You think Canadians are out there buying Vegas and Panther jerseys right now?

Half the Leaf fans I know haven't watched a game since they were eliminated. Do they really get the ratings?

LOL and who might Lemieux be?

No, of course not I stopped watching after the first round and the lottery

Blaming the goalie is a good crutch because you can focus all the heat on one or two guys you didn’t like anyways and continue to live in some fantasy world where your two superstars got brutalized at even strength, you soft 100 point winger was complete non-factor, your “#1” defenseman continues to make mind blowing gaffes and your lack of reliable depth is exposed…again.

But yeah, next year with a new goaltender it will be different…

 

[Sentinel]

Happy for Marchessault and Karlsson.

Maybe he wasn’t angry about the slash as much as he was mad at himself for being -4 in the game

 

[North Cole]

Good series knights fans. Goodluck in the next round. Better goaltending wins as it usually does.

Sad to see our playoffs end, but plus side is that I don't need to read anymore garbage from the fans of eliminated teams or teams that never made it. Crazy how much worse the quality of this board is than even the main board.

On to the next year.
