Stuart Skinner played the best game of his career so far, Evan Bouchard scored a BOUCH BOMB on the PP, Connor McDavid had an assist and the Edmonton Oilers took a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Los Angeles Kings with a 1-0 victory! The #oilers played a defensive masterclass of a game and really frustrated the #kings offense as they stifled them, only allowing 1 goal in 2 games in Los Angeles. There is so much to talk about in today’s Day After Video, so grab a snack and relax and enjoy the show! đ„

I was refreshing every 2 mins waiting for this analysis đđđ the win got me hyped
Wasn't particularily impressed with the oilers that game. Overall a VERY boring game to watch.
Just glad they found a way to score a goal
I hope to maybe see gagner in on the 4th line, he's a clutch scorer when he gets his opportunity. Maybe he strikes when LA falls asleep for a moment.
I think a fair Vinny D contract would be 4 years- 2.5 mil/yr. He's a fantastic bottom pair and pk guy, but he's likely never going to be more than that.
Although the Kings were in the Oilers zone the majority of the game most of their shots were outside the âRed zoneâ. Oilers did a great job keeping the Kings to the outside. The number of shots means nothing as we got the one shot we needed lol! If they can balance this with a bit more offence they will crush the Kings on Wednesday.
For those who say 1 goal against in the last two games whats wrong with the Oilers? is not a good argument.
If we donât keep skinner forever, I might cry. Also Vinny, huge block with less than a minute left, he played great.
Great job Austin. Keep it coming
Oilers only had 13 shotsđ
That was playoff hockey. 1-0. A game they wouldnt have won in years past. 13 MORE WINS!
It pains me to see how quick oiler fans switch up on goalies even now. Skinner has proved himself so much this and last season but they only focus on the downsides even if the upsides drastically outweigh them
Never apologize for kitty!
Victory chain!!
If Stu can get hot throughout other series, then Oilers have a very good chance to win. The main problem has always been goaltending and defence. Edmonton proved tonight they have that. The plan is there, time to execute. Canucks are the most likely 2nd round match up.
Helleybuck has a worse save percentage than Skinner. Proves that season doesn't always mean everything. Goalies go hot and cold.
I feel like Avs could make the conference finals and we could have an oilers Avs rematch. Y'know, time to slay the dragon.
Believe Talbot had a 1-0 shutout against the sharks in 2017
The entire game I kept yelling at my screen to screen the goalie and we never did once. Reason why skinner was getting easy saves was simply because our team is braindead and only play on the outside and never screen the goalie. Horrible coaching on our part or itâs just the players who donât understand basic hockeyâŠ..
I love this team and their fans {:c)
Get Campbell 5000 miles away from this team. Should have called up Lavoie…
Edmonton played the game that LA wanted to play and still beat them.đ Vinny d playing just awesome, I love homegrown boys haveing success so happy for him McCloud and Hollywood lol. Hope perry can get one before series end. Lets go! Game 5 gonna be a doozy. ( Also la fans not classy with the junk on ice and the 'I'm bored" chants.)
