If McDavid finds his game against Brossoit that's gonna be ugly. No Danault to shadow him on the Knights as well

On paper, Oilers in 5.
But this Oilers team always find a way to make it more difficult than it should, so I say Oilers in 6.

Skinner will find a way to lose the Oil 3 or 4 games. It's his specialty.

I’m picking the Oilers in 6. I think McDavid was maybe his team’s third best player against LA, and I think he’s got a lot more to give.
Brossoit was excellent in Round 1, but the Oilers’ offense and power play are going to be hard to contain.
Should be a lot of run and hockey that will be high entertainment value.

In my opinion the key to this series for Vegas is depth scoring on both sides. No one can completely stop 97 & 29 but Vegas can't win if Edmonton can get production from guys like Kostin, Kulak, Bjugstad and Yamamoto again. If you can at least hang in when the stars are on the ice, dominate the other shifts and stay out of the box then you give yourself a chance. As a Vegas fan I didn't love the potential matchup against the Kings but the Oilers are the only team I was truly afraid of.

I love everyone underestimating the Knights. Feels like season one all over again and I'm all for it.

Last 10+ posts schlagging Stu with next no factual argument… did your girlfriend ride Skinners stache or something?
The thing being underestimated the most is the Oilers D. After adding Ekholm they have been excellent. Vegas has a good team, but McDavid and Draisaitl are tuned in just like all the Avs last year were and the Lightning before that. This is their shot and it will bring out their best. The weakness so far has been Skinner. If he has a poor performance in game one, I expect a switch to Campbell. Oilers in 5 or 6.

Next to nothing? How about 10+ ultra softies over a 7 game series, a SV% of .890 and GAA 3.43? Don't ask me to check his advanced stats. He belongs in the AHL.
Jack Campbell in relief SV% .964 and GAA 1.18. But for some reason the bum who can't even skate keeps getting starts. It's embarassing. I'm complaining because he could still be benched. Do it before the season is over.
For some reason I was under the impression that teams would get re-seeded for the 2nd round. But clearly thats not the case.
Why is Dallas getting rewarded with the lowest seed in the West when both VGK and EDM finished ahead in the season.
I didnt understand all the flack about the playoff format until now. Regular season is absolutely useless outside round 1.

The Knights PK was 58% vs the Jets who were decimated by injuries ffs. How bad is it going to be facing a healthy Oilers PP?
I think this series really boils down to how much the special teams come into play. The Knights are not great on either the PP or PK. If the series is decided 5on5 they have a great chance to make it through. If there are lots of penalties it will be almost impossible.
Picking oil in 6.
Vegas are a very good team though, wouldn’t be surprised for it to be the other way

ya but they were though, that's why the games are worth points...you know, to see who's better. Plus the Oilers had the 2nd most regulation wins in the league.
