Would the 2024 playoff Oilers have defeated the 2023 Golden Knights?

[Bjornar Moxnes]

In 2023, the VGK won the series against the Oilers in 6 games.

With the 2024 roster, do you think the Oilers would have won against the 2023 Knights?

My first impression is no for a similar reason they lost to the Panthers. Vegas is/was extremely good at playing a tight structured defensive game and giving opponents no room to operate.

Second impression also is a no

No I don't think so , the oilers are not a very good team imo , they have two guys that go super saiyan every post season though so they could have a shot for sure

The Oilers took out Dallas who was took out the better version of Vegas

Or you can say the Oilers were a very good team that's being held back by Stuart Skinner

I voted yes to balance out the early results - but honestly, flip a coin?

I love talking hypotheticals in hockey, but usually it's based around individual results. ie - how would player X do with no injury, or with a different linemate, or different, era, etc. That's a lot easier to speculate on.

It's so hard with team results. Because the truth is - the 2023 San Jose Sharks may have beaten the 2023 Golden Knights in a 7 game series if they get hot at the right time. It's so hard to predict team results, any team can beat any team.

Anyways - I'll say McDrai step up and lead their team to victory. But again....is Draisaitl injured? Is McDavid injured? Lots of x-factors.
