Oilers take game one / Line shuffling / Pickard far greater than Hill last night



The Edmonton Oilers came back from an early two-goal deficit to defeat the Vegas Golden Knights in game one of the second round of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs. Coach Bruce Cassidy could not find the right line combinations to get a late goal. Calvin Pickard was far much better than Adin Hill in game one.

  1. Ekholm being out was supposed to be a death knell to the success of the off season. They figured it out it would seem.

  2. I find this unwatchable because you say 'VGK' too often. It sounds stupid and annoying. Just say 'Vegas'.
    Sorry, but it's terrible.

  3. Vegas with one shot on goal in the second was the end

    Edit: I was out there, but the sound and the stream were not sync'd up. I t was driving me crazy. Oh and having to pay $35 parking to go see the game outside was a pisser. I am poor!

  4. I interpreted Cassidy’s comments about the bad ice as a reason why it was even more important to play a north/south game, and specifically to play the ice behind the defense. Vegas did not do this. I don’t think he at all said this is what made them play a more east/west game. He then said Edmonton just elevated their game whereas Vegas did not and he further continued that Edmonton just played better. Bad ice was not the issue and I don’t think Cassidy used it as an excuse. That’s just me listening to him though, and I’m a nobody.

  5. Eichel looked okay in the defensive zone, but didn't look like much of a factor in the offensive zone for the few moments the Knights were in there. VGK looking like the PP merchants that the Oilers used to be, outmatched 5 on 5.

  6. If Eichel didn’t shadow McDavid, Tony would be complaining, he does and Tony complains 😂 Tony doesn’t like excuses? Does he like anything VGK related? 😂😂
    Go knights go ⚔️🛡️⚔️

  7. OIlers fan here, Hill wasn't weak, i don't think Pickard outplayed Hill, oilers severely outplayed the VGK in game 1.
    VGK gets important players back for game 2, it will be exciting.

  8. Ha ha, you think the Knights have better depth than the Oilers. The Oilers are finally getting healthy, and if you actually paid attention to the first round, the Oilers have great depth.

  9. Why would you have a hard time believing a motivated Backup Goalie (Cal Pickard) can lead to a Championship? — 2023 Adin Hill was a Backup Goalie.

  10. GUYS… In what Universe don't Oilers have vastly superior depth at forward???? 'You're dreaming in technicolor' (as we used to say, back in the day)….PRETENDING OTHERWISE…

  11. I hope Vegas can rebound. I have a bad feeling about Edmonton winning the West and contending for the Cup. Bounce back Vegas! Please!

  12. Choppy ice plays into the hands of the slower team and the team that is not playing most of the game with the puck. It’s clear who was faster & had the the puck. That being said, vegas will make their adjustments and be waaay better in game 2.

  13. Go Oilers!

    Swap Pickard and hill and you get the same result. Idk why you trash your own goali when he got the far tougher night.

  14. Vegas will come out hard in G2. But if oilers take G2, that will be a statement. The Edmonton crowd is on fire, one of the best in the league. Vegas empty seats? G3 and G4 will electric because the oilers will be on fire too.

  15. Why TONY HATES the GOLDEN KNIGHTS?? Can I ask WHY THE HECK U DO THIS VGK PODCAST? IM JUST been won for soooooo long why YOU do this VGK IF U DONT LIKE MY TEAM?

  16. I have a question – VGK fan living in Chicago. Booked a trip to Vegas this May back in March. I'll be arriving Sunday, May 18th (game 7), but the flight won't arrive until 10 pm, so no chance of attending that game if it happens. However, if Dallas upsets Winnipeg and VGK gets this series against the Oil, what are the odds game 1 of conference finals will be on Tuesday May 20th? I'm returning back to Chicago on Wednesday afternoon. Just trying to figure out if I should keep the night free.

  17. Oilers fan here, just to give some perspective. So far, 13 players on Edmonton’s roster have scored this postseason. McDavid and Draisaitl are only loaded together to force Vegas to load their top line when they’re on the ice. So far, Vegas is doing a good job shutting down McDavid and Draisaitl, but they’re outmatched on the cycle. Rush offense and sustained shooting pressure is the name of the game in this postseason.
