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

[Avs44]

Good riddance to Edmonton. Congrats, Knights.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Obvious conclusion to Oiler's season is obvious.

Knights... i'm not sure about but they have a shot.

Congrats Vegas. Many people were critical of them because they missed the playoffs last year but look at them now. A very well put together team and getting Cassidy as a coach was a fantastic hire.
Edmonton should not be ashamed or panic. This team is on the right track. This years team is better than the conference final team last year. Much better depth. It was just Vegas’ year to come out of the Pacific this year.

 

[Oheao]

I remember when Oilers and Maple Leafs fans were arguing over who'd win more Cups with these cores.

 

[lionsDen]

awesome to see the oilers out. I’m gonna root for the krakheads here on out

 

[K1900L]

Congrats to Vegas, the better team won the series.
Pathetic that in year 9 of Drai and year 8 of McDavid Oilers still haven't found any depth. Both have spent probably 90% of their career with either Kassian or Yamamoto on their wing.

 

[CorgisPer60]

I'm conflicted. I didn't want either team to win their series, and the arena refused to implode with both teams in it. Oh well. f*** Vegas and Mark Stone's stupid face.

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.

Oh c'mon, the Oilers still lose this series with a prime Hasek in net

They just need a couple more #1 overall picks and they'll get over the hump.

 

[hirawl]

A team defeats individuals. Color me shocked.

[Dirty Dan]

They just need a couple more #1 overall picks and they'll get over the hump.

They could have got Bedard this year

 

[HanSolo]

So proud of Vegas. All I wanted was for them to fight to overcome adversity and they did it.

Thanks for a good series of chatting Oilers fans. It was almost universally friendly between our fanbases.

 

[OilersFanatics505]

I was told by Edmonton fans that penalties didn’t dry up in the playoffs… was I lied too?

Well, Stuart Skinner .890 while Jack Campbell had .957 in the playoffs. Still think they should just have rolled with Campbell until he proves that he can't do it. And even if he couldn't, he probably wouldn't have been as bad as Skinner regardless.

Love the Knights. Happy to see them go deep again this year. And 30 straight years of US dominance. If Seattle loses all the teams left will be in southern/southwestern US states.

 

[Rude Dog]

That’s a shame

 

[Mobiandi]

Moral victories for Edmonton

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Nurse their wounds and hope the drai spell ends next season.

 

[thekernel]

Once again, I cannot believe that people had the Kings coming out of the West, let alone the Pacific. It's incomparable how much more complete Vegas is than both LA or Edmonton.

 

[Ryan120420]

Turns out you can win just 1 series by relying on just your power play.

 

[SEALBound]

Kinda rooting for the Canes now for Puljujarvi. Just so he can rub McDavids nose in it.

 

[Divine]

Imagine if someone told the Oilers when they signed Campbell that he would have a .950%+ save percentage in the playoffs, they'd be debating the order the cup is going to be passed
