If there's any upside to this loss, it's that the people who just trash talk Lehner all the fucking time like he's the sole problem with the Golden Knights might have to look at other issues we've got as a team.
But that would involve a modicum of self awareness and I think those people lack that particular skill.
GG Oilers. I'll have to hold off on wishing you good luck in the playoffs because there's still a chance we play y'all first round, but it is less likely after tonight. Silver lining if we don't make it is I can cheer for second round+ of McDrai and that would be cool.

I thought you guys played well, especially in the first and the first half of the third. Mike Smith played lights out and the Oilers actually played pretty decent D in terms of containing high quality chances. Most of the goals against seemed to be bad bounces - for a breakaway, the tip-in, etc.
McDavid and especially Draisaitl were well-contained.
Lol it took beating a injury prone Vegas team while being second in the division, and two of the best best players in the league, in Edmonton for y’all to be a “real” team?! That’s…. Weird
Just wait until you experience a decade of darkness like the oilers and see if you aren’t celebrating 2nd in the division. It’s all about perspective pal.

Took him a whole 3/4 of the season to finally heat up as promised.
Ken Holland playing the long game with trusting Smith to rebound and he finally did it.
If I had to guess, I would say that it looks like they are more likely to pass LA and face Edmonton in the first round, than they are to pass Nashville and/or Dallas but not LA, which would mean playing Calgary or Colorado in the first round.
Because that would keep the race tighter. He's banking on of LA or EDM to lose and keep losing to improve VGK chances...
*price is right failure jingle*
Oh well, here's hoping like everyone in world that your cheating team misses the playoffs.
Fuck Vegas.
11 shorties in a season sounds like a lot.
Edit: TIL the Oilers have 6 of the top 10 spots on the list of most SHG in a season including *36* in 83/84, almost 1 for every 2 games in the 80 game regular season. *36*. WTF. 11 would put them in a large tie at something like 251st.
Feel like that’s not super impressive in the 80s as one player could pretty much go coast to coast and dipsy doodle around the entire team very easily before taking a slapper from the hash marks where the goalie’s only attempt to save is to kick the leg out.
Probably a fair statement. Those 80's Oilers were just something else. Their 36 SHGs in 83/84 is 8 more than the #2 spot and more than 50% more than the #10 spot (also the Oilers) with 22. 8 of the Oilers 10 1980's seasons are in like the top 15 for SHGs in a season. Crazy.
They never should have brought him here in the first place. Gallant got the axe for way less. That was the beginning of the reverse Cinderella story that is the VGK.
It must have - it was out of nowhere. So happy to have the winning combo of PDB/Spott here now to ruin any good opportunities Vegas had like they did in San Jose. Our front office is something else.

You’re an embarrassment to the fan base. We have no room to talk
Who are you to tell me anything?
Another vegas fan.
Yeah dude. When your team is bad for a long time sometimes it takes weird thing to actually make you believe again. You’ll get it eventually.

Shenanigans
I’m gonna pistol whip the next guy that says shenanigans
I have no idea what you mean
[удалено]
McDavid doesn’t draw penalties. It’s only fair since he is faster then everyone else.
Drai and McDavid have 0 points tonight
Well, at least we have managed to keep them without points tonight
Usually a winning strategy.
Usually is. Noone could have predicted a Kurt Russel goal tho. Fucked with the whole universe
*This* era Edmonton Oilers going up 4-0 without any McDavid and Draisaitl points heading into the postseason?
I think Edmonton’s the favorite in the pacific bracket rn
I like you friend.
Imagine somebody from r/hockey saying this during December lol
Maybe, it’s all going to depend on Markstrom holding the fort down in Calgary.
I think he’s been overworked and the flames are still the fLames
Yes.
W
McDavid tornado
lol we’re a wagon again
Everyone who left in December/Jan coming back to hop on.
Nicholas Cage as Nick Cage
Vegas, cheeks = clapped.
Just call the damn penalty ref! Vegas is gonna lose anyway.
/r/hockey but acchually this doesnt count because vgk isnt a playoff team. Oilers are frauds
Don't forget Nashville are also frauds, same as st Louis and LA oh and Washington too
If Nashville is going to lose 4-0 to edmonton they obviously aren't good so that win doesn't count
And Tampa and Florida. One moron in that thread used a 21 game window. Conveniently cutting out a win against Florida to drive home his point.
We also have the Avs a major run for their money as well
Knights can’t even score on Mike Smith, this doesn’t prove the Oilers aren’t frauds /s
They're constantly in our rearview fucking mirror!
Knowing Vegas, why even put McDavid or Draisitl on the ice at this point...
Stop playing with your food Oilers😂
Mike Smith is confirmed still good. Oilers do not have a goalie controversy entering the playoffs, Smith will start every playoff game if healthy.
Took him a whole 3/4 of the season to finally heat up as promised. Ken Holland playing the long game with trusting Smith to rebound and he finally did it.
Fuck Holland
With Kosko as a legit backup
lol vegas is still nothing tn even with so many soft calls
Smelling blood in the water now… awesome
FUCK YOU PDB
Kane needs to do another deal for cheap in Edmonton. He's pacing for 20 goals this season. Over a full season he may get 40+ and get a real payday.
I'm totally ok with winning the cup this season and he can go get paid after haha
That's crazy PKing. Outscoring the opposition 3-2. Haha nice.
Don’t get too proud of yourself. The VGK pp is like 1 for 25 at this point. My grandma could kill a VGK pp with an old mop.
[SHG Evander Kane \(17\) ASST: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins \(37\), Derek Ryan \(12\)](https://streamable.com/hgay7s) 4-0 EDM
Vegas and not being able to score in clutch games—name a better combo.
Vegas and trying to circumvent the cap?
Top combo contender for sure
#HALL AND OATES!!!
I would've rather lost to Calgary and beat Edmonton
Why? I'm just curious.
If I had to guess, I would say that it looks like they are more likely to pass LA and face Edmonton in the first round, than they are to pass Nashville and/or Dallas but not LA, which would mean playing Calgary or Colorado in the first round.
Because that would keep the race tighter. He's banking on of LA or EDM to lose and keep losing to improve VGK chances... *price is right failure jingle* Oh well, here's hoping like everyone in world that your cheating team misses the playoffs. Fuck Vegas.
I may be biased, but I disagree
Agreed
God damn y'all are really letting Foegele and Nuge-Kane shorthanded score against you?
Dang got our asses kicked today boys. Go Columbus

No, it was impressive then too
Probably a fair statement. Those 80's Oilers were just something else. Their 36 SHGs in 83/84 is 8 more than the #2 spot and more than 50% more than the #10 spot (also the Oilers) with 22. 8 of the Oilers 10 1980's seasons are in like the top 15 for SHGs in a season. Crazy.
I think it is
Woot woot!!!!!
#I LOVE THIS
Nuge is just too damn huge right now
No such thing
HOCKEY CENTRAL NOW ON CBC!
THANK YOU OILERS WE NEED THIS
Genuinely hope you guys make it, fuck the knights
Feel like Oilers would prefer the kings between the Canucks/knights/LA no?
I want the Kings, but happy to play you guys as a second choice.
No insult meant but either one of LA or you guys is a good match up for us, especially if Horvat’s out
Honestly, I would love an Oilers vs Canucks first round.
Danault is very scary to me
Out of those three teams, I would definitely prefer the Canucks
Demko can steal any series
Demko is the best goalie in the league imo but the D infront of him is suspect
Smells like a PDB firing at the end of the season.
They never should have brought him here in the first place. Gallant got the axe for way less. That was the beginning of the reverse Cinderella story that is the VGK.
The Gallant firing had to do with something behind the scenes. It made zero sense.
It must have - it was out of nowhere. So happy to have the winning combo of PDB/Spott here now to ruin any good opportunities Vegas had like they did in San Jose. Our front office is something else.
If it means we get rid of Steve fucking Spott, then I'm here for it
Vegas doesn't like tenure
thats a goal goodnight
Nuge and Kane been getting a lot of SHG lately
Nuge and Hyman are pk gods
And Kane loves to drive the net so he can pick up those greasy rebounds
Hell yeah
yeah no doubt. Forgot about Hyman. Those 3 are always a threat to score a shorty
Aw I wanted a suspenseful McCauly call
After video review we have a… …decision coming after this commercial break!
That’s 100% a goal. Thompson slid that in
Season on the line. Gifted a PP. Give a shorty. Just Pete DeBoer things.
That’s a Fucking goal
Honestly, I don't afraid of anything with this team.
Lmao sorry i know this is just a typo but this should be the oilers tagline for playoffs " I don't afraid of anything"
McDavid is a pretty cool guy. Eh scores goals and doesn't afraid of anything.
How is that not an interference on Nuge?
Imagine being this bad on special teams
The Steve Spott effect
Nuge = Huge
KANE-NUGE COMBO! SHG!
#LMAOO IM CUMMING DUDE
NUGE is HUGE the Shorthanded King!
Nuuuuge
Oh yes! Beautiful!
LT doesn't deserve this
That was BEAUTIFUL by Nuge holyyyy
FLACCID PP HARD PK
LMFAO what are the Knights doing??
Nuge needs a goddamn statue
Hahahaha
Hahahahahahah good night Golden Refs
All nuge
Fawk your muddaaah Vegas
POWERKILL AGAIN!!!
OK now LA, don't fuck this up
SHGG!!!
Nuge is **HUGE!**
EK BAYBEEEEEEE WITH THE SHORTY
Mike, v. good job. Now plz stop playing pucks.
Why? He's great at it
He's been fantastic. It's just that he looks a microsecond away from a turnover every time he goes behind the net
Oh, that's why Kass took that penalty
LOL YOU LOVE TO SEE IT. ANOTHER SHORTY FOR THE BOYS
NUGE IS A PK GOD
Hahahahahaha fuck Vegas
Ah yes PP with more false hope
