I'm giving Winnipeg a pity win, otherwise the Oilers should look to easily continue their dominance over the Jets. Their forwards have checked out on the coaching staff and their blueline can't contain Edmonton's two scoring lines.

Honestly the only thing that could save the jets is Hellybuck going sicko mode. Ehlers returning is also nice but people forget he underperforms in the playoffs.

I see it as

95% Edm wins
5% Hellybuck stands on his head and Jets win

as of now my prediction is Oilers in 5

If Ehlers comes back fully ready and Hellebuyck plays unreal Jets in 7. If not Oilers in 6.

I think the Oilers sweep them. Hellebuyck hasn't been great these past few weeks and without him in top form, Edmonton can roll over them.

Jets if Heli is good. If not, the oilers will win. Both in 7.

I think this is closer than people think. I'm saying Oilers in 7, but I like WInnipeg's depth.

Oilers in 5. The Jets defense aren't gonna be able to handle McDavid and it's doubtful that Hellebuyck stands on his head for them.

Winnipeg has been terrible recently, and they’ve been terrible against the Oilers this year. This should be an easy win for Edmonton.

If that wasn't the pity win, Oilers are in big trouble.

No such thing as easy in the playoffs. McDavid and Draisaitl were both shut down completely.

Had the sweep on my official bracket.

It concerns me that we were that ineffective when Dubois and Ehlers weren't in. Wasn't a fan of the Neal-McLeod-Kassian line either.

EDIT: I'll probably feel better about this game in the morning. Underlying numbers suggest Edmonton fed the Jets their own lunch tonight. Goddamn Hellebyuck.

And people who think the Leafs will easily beat MTL are in for a big surprise, too.

here is the difference

Price has not played since April, Hellybuck never got injured the entire season

Hellybuck over his last 5 games had a 0.938 including 2 shutouts. He stood on his head tonight and became a wall and that wall stopped the Oilers overwhelming offense.

As for Price things are not as pretty

Price played a game in the AHL and had a 0.867 allowing 2 goals on 4 shots, He has not played an NHL game since April and while he is practicing not being in a game for that long can be bad for game readiness.

Habs best chance of winning was for playoff Price to show up and right now he does not look ready

good luck to them is all i can say for now

I didn't get the chance to watch game 1

I was busy watching the Canes game and the Warriors game

What happened to McDavid and Draisaitl?

Even when it's not about the Leafs, it's about the Leafs.

How did the Jets score 4 without Ehlers and PLD?

Was Smith bad?

i mean he was awake before the season ended but yeah

Hellybuck over his last 5 games before playoffs had a 0.938 including 2 shutouts

But man does this prove my theory on Edmontons lacking of scoring depth and that needs to be fixed (if Draisaitl and Mcdavid dont show the team should not struggle to score)

2 ENG

1 One timer right under the cross bar (literally they had to review it to see if it went in)

bad plays on the poolman goal on Edmontons side

He wasn't terrible by any means but not his best game, first goal he let out a bad rebound but it was poor d zone coverage and then the 2nd one he had no chance, tipped in off a rocket point shot. He never really looked all that comfortable though, let out a few bad rebounds and looked like he was fighting the puck a lot.
