Sean Maloughney: Oilers vs Golden Knights Round 2 Primer

Can't give the Knights high danger chances like we were against LA. Team needs to tighten up. Vegas has a more balance attacked and we aren't going to get easy matchups to make up for our mistakes.

Penalty kill needs to be better too, 60% just isn't gonna cut it

I see Fleury giving one last go at World's this year.

40 years old and this will be his first appearance

The point differential for the players of these teams in the first round is pretty crazy. Obviously McD and Drai will always be point leaders, but they are also +5 and +6 respectively. Whereas the top two guys in Vegas Are Hertl and Eichel with 5 points, with a -2 and a -4 respectively. We also have Bouch with 7 and the THREE other players with 5 points. Also kinda nuts is that only 4 vegas players have a positive plus/minus, with Pietrangelo and Karlsson leading the way at +2. In contrast the Oilers only have 4 players with a negative plus/minus, but its not great that 2 of them are Bouch and Nurse at -3.

Pickard absolutely should start the next round.

MacKinnon and Crosby going this time. Crazy.

Already see people saying Crosby trying to convince MacKinnon to come to Pittsburgh

Reality is it would be the other way around

Actually I saw articles saying the exact opposite, MacKinnon convincing Crosby to move.

MacKinnon is pissed at Colorado for trading Rantanen especially after he single handedly eliminated the Avalanche in game 7.

It's funny how blunt he was at the end of the year.

Makes matters worse is they traded their best prospect and a 1st for Nelson. Only have a 4th and 7th in this years draft, no 1st, 2nd or 3rd next year either.

Think they have all sorts of NTC/NMC, so not sure what they can do there either

One really has to wonder if once Rantanen was traded to Carolina his plan all along was to come back to the West to try get revenge

Since the Avalanche won the Cup in 21/22 they have won just one playoff round in the past three seasons.

Pickard starts tonight. Thank Gord.

I wonder if the Oilers will read this

Come on Alberta, let's hear it...

Oilers in six over Vegas, let’s go.

Connor Brown

That third period didn't even look like the Oilers, they just dominated. Oilers need to get their act together at the beginnings of games.

Great game Oilers. Knights lucky it was only 4-2, did they not watch the oil play the kings last series. Cassidy has to change, can’t sit back.
McDavid with a beast of a game, easily the best player in the league.

Finally starting off a series with a W.

Oilers put on a defensive clinic in the last 2 periods. Vegas had a total of 2 even strength shots over that time. Unbelievable!

Oilers just broke an NHL record with 5 straight come from behind victories in the playoffs.

You won't see him after a dominant Oil victory.
