Stone has a punchable face, Oilers in 5
Oilers in 5. Vegas wasn't that impressive vs a team that barely made the playoffs and were decimated by injuries.
Oilers need to tighten it up a little but how much will depend on if RNH, Kane and Hyman finally show up. Bottom six and the defense is rolling

No half measures
They had the shortest series of the playoffs...

IDK I actually think Vegas is less deep than LA, and the Oilers depth came through against LA. Vegas has more star power, mobile AF Dman, and overall a better system, but their system is actually worse against the Oilers compared to LA.
Line 1:
Kane-McDavid-Hyman > Barbashev-Eichel-Marchessault
Line 2:
RNH-Draisaitl-Kostin/Janmark >> Smith-Karlsson-Amadio
Line 3:
Howden-Stephenson-Stone >>> Whatever Oilers use.
Line 4:
Tossup really.
Dpairing 1:
Martinez-Pietrangelo = Ekholm-Bouchard (With how well Bouchard has played, I actually give Oilers the edge here).
McNabb-Theodore > Nurse-Ceci
Hague-Whitecloud > Kulak-Desharnais/Broberg
I give a slight edge in goaltending. I guess the Knights are slightly deeper, but I don't it's enough to match Oilers having 2 generational talents, especially since Vegas doesn't have the means to shutdown both McDavid and Draisaitl if they're not together.

Edmonton in 6. I think the Oilers match up favorably against the Knights.

Coin toss i'd say. Vegas is definitely a tough out, not very easy to get quality chances anywhere near the net. If the Oilers can somehow find a way to get in close on LB they have a pretty good chance here.

I say Oilers in 6, so much talent. But Vegas is resilient and Oilers goaltending still questionable
I would hope so with no Ehlers, Morrissey, or Scheifle(and it's not like the rest if the roster was very good)

Yep....people seem to be forgetting just how great Stone is and how much he has improved an already excellent squad....

Can Edmonton’s goaltending hold up? This is going to be a close one.. 6/7 games. I’ll take the team with the best player in the world.
Aside from game 5 the other four were closely contested. Final outcome isn’t a true indicator to how close it was.

Can Vegas' goaltending hold up? I'll take Skinner over Brossoit or a banged up Logan Thompson.

Have I told you I miss Logan Thompson
Gary seeing his two expansion teams in the West Final.... Vegas in 1. 
But seriously this could go eitherway, But is probably going 6 or 7.

I’ll say Oilers in 6. I think they’re going to the finals this year.
If Vegas can stay out of the box, they can win. Edmonton’s powerplay is just too lethal. I’m going Edmonton in 7.

Can Vegas’? They’re starting our old backup. Vegas might have the sketchiest goaltending in the entire playoffs.

Our Rookie goalie would have to come back from injury first.... Ahhh well lets just call Brossoit are back up again and really fire him up
Loved watching Brossoit when he played for the Oil Kings and wish him nothing but success except for nowOur Rookie goalie would have to come back from injury first.... Ahhh well lets just call Brossoit are back up again and really fire him up

My 2 most important ideals/truth/what ever the actual word I'm looking for are coming into some major conflict series.Loved watching Brossoit when he played for the Oil Kings and wish him nothing but success except for now
The first is I want us to win... the 2nd is I don't care if we lose if the Oilers do too.
So I guess the only way I'll be happy with a loss this series is if the Oilers beat Vegas and are then immediately expelled from the league, might need a couple of benjamins in the bribe envelope for that one.

Knights in 6, this is going to be a good series. Kings were just a brutal PK'ing team in the playoffs, won't happen in Vegas.
