Oilers in 7

Interesting stat: Edmonton hasn't lost in regulation since March 11, a run of 21 games, going 18-0-3. The one OT loss in the regular season in that span was to Vegas.

Overall the Oilers were 3-0-1 against Vegas this year.

I remember back in the 1987-88 season (Gretzky's last season as an Oiler) Calgary went 8-0 versus Edmonton. So everyone except for Oilers fans picked Calgary to beat them in the playoffs. Oilers swept them 4-0. That's when I learned regular season results mean jack squat. LOL

Every new game is a new game, whether regular season or playoffs. However Edmonton's style is very difficult for Vegas to handle.

I've never believed momentum travels. Each game has its own identity. Oilers PP is lethal but Vegas has the edge in playoff experience.

Great memories, thanks.

Hmm... Edmonton went deep last year, I don't think they lack experience.

Great start by Vegas and Leon Draisaitl. Now hopefully the rest of the Oilers get into the mood and make a series of it.

How many games does Pietrangelo get? Does Nurse get suspended for a game or not?

So Nurse is suspended for game 5. The jury is still out on Pietrangelo.

I reckon the Oilers go:
Ekholm - Bouchard
Kulak - Ceci
Broberg - Desharnais
