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

[ManofSteel55]

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.

Holy hyperbole on the "10 ultra softies" statement. Skinner has been better than Campbell all season. Campbell has one great performance in relief and all of a sudden he is the answer? Nope.

Pretty cool we get to see Eichel vs McDavid in a playoff series. I never would have guessed that to happen when they were drafted. Heart says Oilers in 6, head says Vegas in 7

Pretty much this.

Campbell was great in his relief appearance, but Skinner has earned the right to battle back with the team.

Knights will conduct a Knightmare and win in four. Stone is going to have so much fun hanging out with McDavid for sixty-minutes.

 

[lextune]

I don't have any predictions, but as a long time Bruins fan I obviously despise the Oilers, so, go Vegas!

Obviously.... There is nothing a Bruins fan can hate more than actual skill

That may be the most disappointing thing about this whole series, since they have developed into completely different players with completely different roles. McDavid is McDavid. Eichel is now much more of a typical role player, not bad, but not prone to doing McDavid-ish things. McDavid is the #1 scorer in the league, but you have to go down to #71 to find Eichel. You will never not notice McDavid on the ice; sometimes you can watch play for an extended while and never realize that Eichel was even out there -- and when you do notice him, it is much more likely to be for a good defensive play.

Lol new york

I feel like the winner of this series goes to the Stanley Cup Finals and probably wins it.

A lot of people are impressed with Dallas but I don't see it. Colorado falling out really has removed the one "true" contender out west, if they just could have recaptured last year's magic.

The East's real contenders have fallen as well. Tampa and Boston out. Carolina has a key injury. The rest aren't that special.

 

[Vergil]

Oilers in 5. McJesus explodes. Possibly both metaphorically and literally.

 

[BudBundy]

Remember when Vegas had a likeable team?

Oilers in 6, fingers crossed.

100 percent I know what alt you are from Oilers HF.

I have no idea.

VGK seems like a rickety old car that can fall apart if it goes to fast. EDM a bunch of drunken High School kids that will drive too fast for no reason and roll the car going around a corner.

Haha. Thats one of the best series analogies I've ever seen.

No such thing as earned in the playoffs. You ride the hot hand. You would be singing a different tune if Skinner played the way he did and the Oil couldn't score in game 7. You'd be calling for heads to roll regarding why the bum was given start after start.
A lot of teams changed starters in the first round and it worked. The Bruins should have done so earlier too.

A favourite that actually won their series, maybe

They’ve had the components of the Misfit Line the entire time along with Kolesar…..acquired Eichel from exile in Buffalo……they’ve never been unlikeable to me. LOL

 

[HenrikW]

Vegas has had aweful PP/PK comparable. Thats gotta change if they want to win

 

[Coffey]

There ya are. God I love your takes.

 

[dwonger]

Oilers in 4.

They are better everywhere including defense.

Knights are a paper tiger and would have lost to the Jets if the Jets were healthy.

 

[Broberg Speed]

Let's Go Oilers

 

[Captain Controversy]

Oilers in 5 or 6. I think the panthers win in 5 as well.

 

[TheSuperElite]

Heart says Oilers in 5, head says Oilers in 6.

Oh do tell.

I don't think Stone's back will hold out for anything longer than 20 minutes ..
