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

[PanniniClaus]

That 3rd goal... terrible rebound control from Skinner and when you need your d to defend .. where is he? Nurse played 3rd most minutes.. 9.5 million horrid...

They still need a starter...

Campbell for Murray trade is inevitable

Has to sting for the Oilers. Everything was kind of falling into place with Dallas/Kraken looking shaky, Boston/Toronto/TBL falling early.

They probably would've gone all the way if they get through Vegas.

They weren’t beating the Canes or Panthers. Those two teams are very dangerous.

I don't get why Edmonton didn't give Campbell a chance. Skinner shit the bed enough you'd have nothing to lose

It genuinely makes no sense. The regular season doesn't predict the postseason, look at Bobrovsky.

I wonder how much of it was because Skinner is from Edmonton and they didn't want to hurt his feelings.

 

[EdJovanovski]

McJester should be ashamed of himself for that performance, especially the flopping like a fish and throwing temper tantrums toward the refs for penalties, makes sense when he only scored 3 even strength points to Eichels 7 in this series.

When you get eliminated by Francouz and Hill and somehow it was your goalie's fault. Just Edmonton things.

Draistatl had a fake slash at Pietrangelo with 1:09 left in the third there. Wonder if he was tempted to connect.

No matter what team you are, you can’t win games when your goalie lets in 4 goals on less than 15 shots 2 games in a row. Skinner deserves a lot of blame, Woody deserves just as much for being blind and thinking this rookie goalie who can’t control rebounds is going to “bounce back”.

Bettman got what he wanted. Let’s decide to put the whistles away because it benefits one team. Edmonton got punished this postseason for having a historic PP. They need to improve their 5 on 5 play or learn how to dive better

Don’t forget nurse

The team didn't back up Mcjesus on the "our best game of the series" statement.

McJesus crucified on the playoff cross once again for the sins of the Oil.

And there shall be no resurrection or forgiveness of trespass in Edmonton.

I mean the McDrai PowerPlays did well, they can’t win any other way around

If it wasn't for ̶S̶m̶i̶t̶h̶ Skinner they would have beaten VGK

 

[KnightCap78]

Awesome series, it was alot of fun to watch. Oilers fans i think you are a goalie and some more depth guys away. Edge of my seat most the series!

 

[Deen]

Vegas just kept coming at the Oilers. Few weaknesses up and down that lineup.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Would like to offer a deep hearty guttural guffaw at Canadian sports media for declaring a Leafs v Oilers SCF was all but inevitable at the start of this round. Truly the pinnacle of sports journalism.

 

[Hank Plank]

McDavid has the best season in the last 20ish years and they’re out in round 2.

Best player in the playoffs Draisaitl -4 tonight.

Hockey is a cruel game.

Hockey is a team game and not decided on the PP.

 

[jcs0218]

Kelly Hrudey on Sportsnet is stupid.

He said he wants to know what the story is behind Skinner and why he was pulled three times this series.

He is wondering if Skinner is injured.

Did he not watch the games, and see that Skinner was playing poorly and was useless?

 

[lionsDen]

Man that’s up there with we want Florida… almost

Campbell for Murray trade is inevitable

Reduce, reuse, recycle. The mantra of Canadian teams GMs for goaltending

 

[Turin]

Oilers need a real number one or a significant upgrade next to Nurse, a difference maker on the third line and a goalie.

 

[Blitzkrug]

This loss really still falls on Ken Holland.

Jack Campbell was so bad in the regular season the Oilers didn't bother to even consider starting him, which led to Woodcroft running Skinner constantly even when it was clear the latter didn't have it. Which then leads to him giving up four goals on 16 shots. Even if some of those were tough you need a save there.

Basically no cap room going into the summer. Have fun running it back and probably losing in the first two rounds again..

What a return for Pietrangelo, +4.
