Yup…Avalanche have too much depth for the Oilers to play that game with them.

McDavid, just bad at defense.

yeah that deflection should’ve been easily stopped by him.

I’m not actually watching, but 6 against sounds like a dialed in Smith. If he wasn’t dialed in it would be 9-3…

MacKinnon’s defence on par with McDavid there

He was fine before a mercy pull. Oilers getting badly outplayed.

He’s dialed out now lol

Nice defense by MacKinnon on that McLeod chance.

Kid is damn good.

Top five player in the world, no doubt.

If Edmonton gets one here this could get interesting.

That was fun

I don't know if you caught this, but on the TNT panel, Wayne Gretzky of all people actually said these teams need to play defense...

Given how the Oilers started the last two series, this is still quite interesting, I think. Especially with Kuemper out injured again...

I did catch that.
This wide open hockey is not gonna get either team a cup.
TBL and Vasilevsky will school em.

Wayner knows a thing or two about what it takes as a team to win.

Legit

No kidding, the kings played the oil the right way just didn’t enough offence.

Igor, Igor, Igor....

Off to Vegas for WSOP, probably do some live sports props for fun. Be good, try not to whine too much and as always, go Canucks!

From Karine on the Habs site

Now that we know the Canadiens will pick first, 26th (thanks to the Rangers for eliminating Carolina) and 33rd, perhaps they could consider packaging the 26th and 33rd pick to try and climb up to a mid-round first rounder, if they are really high on a player in that range of course.



I would be okay with that type of trade down scenario.

Hopefully they see who's available first before they make the trade and Van doesn't miss out on a good young player.

Bettman has no control over how the balls fall

Oustanding offside call by the war room too. Nothing to see there. Usually Gary waits until game 6-7 to make those calls but starting early. Well done Gary!!!!
