Oilers @ Golden Knights; Game 1, 5/3 | NHL Playoffs 2023 | Stanley Cup Playoffs

Rip Pavelski and Draisaitl💀can't be fun scoring 4 goals and still losing, damn

Leon Draisaitl must have been feeling some excruciating pain in his back during tonights loss...Carrying 19 other teammates entirely on your back must be pretty agonizing

Leon is just amazing

Imagine a guy shows up and scores 4 and the team still loses. Teammates should be embarassed for themselves

Hopefully VGK can continue to play like this. What a team effort for Vegas and hats off to Draisaitl for almost single-handedly beating us tonight.

Back to back nights a 4 goal game ends up for nothing.

What a game. What amazing players on both sides. No words for Draisaitl. That second goal

As a big Leon Draisaitl fan, I feel so bad for him. Oilers offense is so good but their defense is horrible. They make rookie mistakes over and over again. Can't win the cup with this defense sadly.

You only hear "McDavid's skating ability... because of McDavid's this & that" In the POs I only saw one Superstar in the Edmonton team. McD definitely has to develop.

Man that driesitl goal was one of if not the smartest goal ive ever seen

Draisaitl off the back sauce goal was so dirty! OMG

Draisaitl scores, nailing a perfect one timer: "you can see McDavid is so good!" jk, I'm sure they praised Drai too and it was a perfect pass from McDavid. Just came across a bit funny.

Ladies and gentlemen, Leon Draisaitl

2nd of Draisaitl is pure magic!

Ivan Barbashev is underrated, miss him in a blues sweater 🎶

This was a loss based on a series of events for Edmonton. 1. Defense, is the number one issue here. I can’t understand why bc they have such great depth and diversity in aged players but this one hits the loss tonight. Here’s why below ] * Nurse, isn’t covering his man. He’s 4 feet in front not behind the forward. Because of this, direct deflections on 3 goals were allowed to happen. * Nurse & others, are blocking the goalies view of the puck. A NHL goalie can really track a puck well, until their own player blocks the view and makes their body twist or pivot right before the shot hits the pads.. this occurred on 2 of those 3 Deflection goalies Offense is not 2-way players. * Mcdavid, plays a lot like Ovechkin. While you are know Ovi hits guys, maybe you don’t pay attention that he rarely back-checks. These opportunities where it’s a 3 on 1 or 2 on 1 is bc Mcdavid doesn’t back-check. He glides around the ice conserving his energy until it’s hit to touch the puck and accelerate fast. * Leon, doesn’t play 2 way hockey either. So what happens in those events, is you need speed on defense and skill. You lack the speed, you have the skill. The entire 3rd period was just turnover after turnover and no one was staying back covering their posts or points. This, is why Edmonton lost, and why they still lost after one forward scored 4 goals.

DEPTH = VICTORY

Defense like soft butter!

Everyone gargling McDavid yet it's Dri that has taken this team so far. Lol.

If it wasn’t for Draisaitl it would be 6-0, oilers need to step it up
