Playoff Round 2 Game 1 Preview: The Edmonton Oilers take on the Golden Knights

We got the Edmonton Oilers taking on the Las Vegas Golden Knights in round two, game one. Here’s what you need to know. And I say here’s what you need to know, but there’s really nothing much you need to know, but there’s a little bit. So, I’m going to tell you, we all know this is the 2023 playoffs rematch, which we all remember 2023. That’s when Vegas took down Edmonton in six games. And then Vegas eventually went on to win the Stanley Cup for the first time in franchise history. We all remember that year Leon Dry settles fourgoal game. That was a crazy playoff series. Now for the Oilers news, there’s nothing much as there weren’t many changes made to the Edmonton Oilers lineup. They’re rolling with the same lines as we all love these lineups that Chris Nolak has created as they’ve won four consecutive games against the Kings. So, he’s rolling with these lineups for game one against the Las Vegas Golden Knights. And also talking about lineups, the starting goalender for this game, a lot of people were calling it to be on Steuart Skinner to get the start, but no, we are rolling with Calvin Pickard, which I absolutely love. The guy won four consecutive games. You have to give him the start. And I understand people think Skinner can go on a longer run, but right now Calvin Pickard is him. He’s our guy. We got to roll with our pal Cal. So, he’s getting the start for game one. And then on the other side, Aiden Hill had two rough outings against the Minnesota Wild, but then he cleaned it up at the end of the series in games four, five, and six. He had like a 918 say percentage, which that’s really good. But we all know this is not the same Aiden Hill in like this is not the same Aiden Hill as we saw in 2023. He’s a lot different now. He’s not as good as he was in 2023. And if you guys don’t remember the Edmonton Oilers and the Golden Knights split their four game season series this year, but the Edmonton Oilers, the last time we played the Golden Knights, we beat them without Conor McDavid. And now it is that time for the video where I’m going to be giving you guys three bets to place for this video. The first bet, you guys know I love it. Evan Buchard over two and a half shots. The guy shoots the puck so much. So, expect him to do that tonight. And then for this next bet, I really like it. McDavid popped off in round one, game one against the Kings. I expect him to pop off again today. So, I’m going to go McDavid over one and a half points. And then for this last bet, I wanted to have a little bit of fun. I’m going to go with my favorite player, Matias Yanmark, anytime goalcorer. We all know he’s a playoff performer. He’s playing against his former team. Give me a Matias Yanmark anytime goal. But that’s it. Nothing really else to talk about heading into round two, game one against the Knights. But make sure you guys drop a like, comment, subscribe. Let’s go Oilers.
