Should be a good series, I'd be shocked if it's less than 6 games.
It's divisional playoffs with locked brackets(even though Seattle is Vegas division, as wild card, they get locked into the other division bracket). There is no reseeding. Winner of Colorado and Seattle auto plays winner of minny and dallas.If Seattle wins does Vegas the 1 seed not play them instead?
They were by far the best team since the trade deadline and if Vegas lost their final game then the Oilers would have been first.Sure, but not strong enough to catch VGK who were even stronger.
No probably not. The Oilers penalty kill will also probably be better than 66% too though.X-Factor to me is Bruce Cassidy. Can he make the necessary adjustments against McDrai that Todd McLellan couldn’t? You can’t play passive against them. Force them to play a little D.
And will the Oilers’ depth continue to score goals? I doubt the PP will continue at over 60%.
If Vegas is healthy I have been bullish on them for three years. They have 51 wins while once again dealing with injuries and people pass on them time and again?
I don't get the disrespect.
lolLA gives the oilers fits because they have two selke caliber centers to match up against Leon and Connor. They also squeeze the life out of their offense with the 1-3-1. Kings[sic] have no one to match up defensively they need to try and outscore the oilers who are the highest scoring team. Also their goaltending is even more sketchy than edmontons. Some of our guys played with Brossoit they’ll know his tendencies.
Brossoit has 1 regulation loss in 15 total games this year. That’s more unproven than shaky.I think Vegas is the better team than LA overall, but Oilers matchup better against them than LA and Brossoit is more shaky than Korpi. I think Oilers win in 6-7.
Our starting lineup is $2.3m below the cap but okay.I dislike the Oilers pretty much more than any other team, but I am rooting for them since Vegas is playing well over the cap, and I now think their organization and Stone are dirtbags.
Oilers in 6
That's how I see it. LV is a good team, but they may just not match up well against the Oilers, who have an 11-6-2 records against LV all time and went 3-1 against them this season.I think Vegas is the better team than LA overall, but Oilers matchup better against them than LA and Brossoit is more shaky than Korpi. I think Oilers win in 6-7.

The point is Vegas isn’t even using Blueger or Quick. I’m not completely sure if Vegas could have squeezed Barbashev and Stone in but they could have easily excluding deadweight dollars in the minors.Do you mind educating me on how Stone was able to come back this postseason?
Also, it seems absolutely insane and risky to go over the cap if a timeline for a player's return is around the end of the season... unless somehow you knew they wouldn't be back when the cap is enforced... somehow
Shows how little I followed Vegas the last half of the season. What's up with Thompson? And why isn't Quick an option?Brossoit has 1 regulation loss in 15 total games this year. That’s more unproven than shaky.
Those games do include playoffs. Hill was backup the majority of the year and although he was somewhat inconsistent I’d say he is comfortably more reliable than Quick. Might have the details wrong but Thompson was injured early February, played 1 game down the stretch, reaggravated his injury, may have had another a setback prior to the playoffs, and there is no longer a time line for his return.Shows how little I followed Vegas the last half of the season.

From the All-Star break to the end of the regular seasonVegas was 22-4-5.They were by far the best team since the trade deadline and if Vegas lost their final game then the Oilers would have been first.
Vegas were not as good as Edmonton for the last part of the season, actually last half season
