WCSF: Vegas Golden Knights (P1) vs. Edmonton Oilers (P2) (VGK Lead 3-2)

Oilers wishing they still had 41 year old Mike Smith in net is not that surprising to me, honestly.

Their goaltending the past few years is nothing short of a tragedy.

I’m being vindicated in my assertion that McJester is no match Emperor Eichel. (And I posted that before the series started!) 5v5 Eichel is outscoring him 6-2. Eichel is built for the playoffs and is showing his superiority once & for all. Not only is he outproducing him 3-fold at 5v5 but he’s also doing it in key moments and just dominating McJester. Stripping him of pucks and scoring right after to put them away, scoring right after McJester scores to steal all momentum, the list goes on. McJester is looking like a clown whining to refs and losing his cool, he has no composure and is making a fool of himself this series, Emperor Eichel is calm & collected when the pressure is on. McJester can rack up a lot of points in the regular season mooching off of Draisaitl on the PP but when it’s all on the line in the playoffs you pick the born winner in Eichel.

McDavid scored a goal last night that Eichel couldn't replicate if he had 50 years to do it and made it his life's mission. Cool highlight of the empty netter tho, it's not like McDavid was 2 minutes into his shift trying to make desperate moves to tie the game.

Funny how a team living off the Power play is complaining about the refs.

Any way, start Campbell so we can finish this series ASAP.

Yep, can’t help but to laugh at fans crying how the reffs are against the Oilers.

5min major last night+ 3 goals but the reffs!

Remember when everyone on here wanted Vegas to blow it up this past off season because they had the audacity to miss the playoffs because of a ton of injuries?

I like how these Vegas fans and hate watchers keep calling the Oilers a PP fiend. The Knights should be embarrassed that a team is batting nearly 60% on the PP on them in a professional sport. Vegas can't handle it. The only way Vegas is In this is because of garbage goaltending by a rookie. Goals Vegas is scoring are low percentage plays. If Oilers play Campbell they win this series. They will.

Not sure why you have a profile pic of Thanos to represent the Oilers. Everyone knows Thanos lost in the end so am just wondering if that's what you predicted too?

Tragedy when the feelings gone and you can't go on. It's a tragedy.

 

[NYRfan85]

Has the start time for tomorrow's game been announced yet? It's still showing TBD on NHL.com and ESPN. How do they not know this yet? It's the only game tomorrow!

 

[jackjohnson]

Hehe am just curious about it. Probably why Oilers keep losing

I imagine we will know tomorrow.

 

[jackjohnson]

I think Vegas could win it now with Skinner not being that confident and getting pulled many times. Do you go with the shaky goalie that's started most of the playoff games or a goalie that hasnt started one playoff game and has only played in relief and sucked in regular season?? Tough delimma

I thought it was a no brainer to start Campbell for Game 5 vs LA.

I thought it was a no brainer to start Campbell for Game 2 in this series

I think its a no brainer to start Campbell for Game 6 in Edmonton tomorrow.

Cmon man. Yes my picture is the reason the Oilers are losing. Besides Thanos is alpha. Best marvel character by a country mile. Spiderman is close.

 

[smytty]

Ridiculous

The alpha lost in the end my dude. He got beheaded and never achieved his goal and also killed his own daughter too. Was a narcissistic character and was too arrogant. Maybe it's similar to Oilers, too arrogant and overconfident lol

You're rather antagonistic this morning

They didn’t think Edmonton would actually make it to game 6

Ridiculous

Not highly marketable teams, don’t get prime time

10pm EST on ESPN tomorrow night. Couldn’t do earlier because of Sunday Night Baseball. So it was either 10pm or late afternoon which everyone in Canada would have bitched about.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

lol....an 8PM game on a Sunday night? is the game at risk of competing with Lawn Bowling championships or something?

NHL is full of morons

NHL does a wonderful job of hiding their product

no wonder the ratings in the US are dogshit

Sunday playoff rights are a tricky situation for the NHL because ESPN has Sunday Night Baseball and TNT typically has the Sunday Night NBA games. ESPN had the rights for the Game 6’s and apparently wouldn’t relent on giving it up. So it has to air after Sunday Night Baseball. It sucks because there is no TNT basketball game Sunday because those series went short. They could have easily put it at 8 eastern on TNT had it not been for the rights situation.

And it should be noted ESPN got an extra game this series because game 3 was in ESPN and not TNT/TBS. But I guess the East series going only 5, there wasn’t a possibility of trading back.

Does Canada celebrate Mothers Day tomorrow too lol? I am not sure if all countries are same but that may have played into them not wanting an afternoon game in the US anyway

Look at the delta between Campbell and Shesterkin (Small sample for Campbell true)

There a canyon between Campbell performance this post season and everyone else
while Stuart Skinner is macerating at the bottom where it stinks

If Woodcroft was a surfer, he sure cant tell a wave from the beach
