McDavid’s crew lights up Sin City, sends Knights packing with a 4-1 series KO.
The Oilers have officially cashed out in Vegas — and not in a bad way. Edmonton beat the Golden Knights on May 14 with all the subtlety of a slapshot to the face, locking in a 4-1 series victory and cruising into the Western Conference Final with a smirk and a swagger.
Connor McDavid was on full “hockey god mode” again, zipping around the ice like the puck owed him rent. And Leon Draisaitl? The man’s wrist shot could file taxes — clean, efficient, and ruthless.
Vegas tried to rally, but it felt like they were skating in maple syrup. Their power play fizzled, their top lines got neutralized, and the only thing hotter than Edmonton’s forecheck was the Vegas bench melting from frustration.
Goaltending? Stuart Skinner said, “Thou shall not pass,” and the Knights obliged. The Oilers’ defense clamped down in the final minutes like they were guarding national secrets.
Now Edmonton heads west (figuratively, they’re already west) — to the Western Conference Final, eyes set on Lord Stanley and vengeance for playoffs past.
Vegas? Time to rethink, reload, and maybe block McDavid’s number.
