Leon Draisaitl scored four goals in a Game 1 loss to the Golden Knights, a day after Joe Pavelski scored four goals in a loss to the Kraken. TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button and TSN Hockey analyst Dave Poulin join Jay Onrait to discuss Draisaitl’s dominant night and how Vegas was able to take the momentum.

Imagine if the rest of the team actually showed up to play… How embarrassing.
He can stop re-signing with the Oilers and go to a team that actually has some balance. It's hard to feel sorry for a guy who signed up for this.
McDavid hurt? Getting focused on by the other teams’ defenses? What’s going on with RNH?
They need to scratch Vincent Desharnais. He’s good for a goal or 2 against a game. Also I love Skinner. Loved him last season as well and he should’ve been given the reigns last season and than they wouldn’t have signed Campbell and instead used that bread to build a better team.
I like Vinny but he isn’t ready and especially for this tight playoffs where they need to get great success or the 32, going on 33 year old in 20 days year old Eckholm contract will destroy them.
They need a cup final at least.
McRegular season needs to grow up.
It’s hilarious that anyone thinks a floater is “that good” if he played defence as much as he cared to play offence they might stand a chance. You saw him literally give up on a back check and it’s getting old watching it. He ain’t a two way player AT ALL!
Too bad Draisaitl didn't decide to be lazy and not keep skating on the backcheck and Vegas wouldn't have scored the goal, and his team could have won it in overtime. Just sayin'.
Eichel has got to get going
Meh.. They’re pretty notorious for losing the first game.. This series is just getting warmed up
Been saying it for a long time draisaitl is the guy I’d target if I’m yzerman when he’s a ufa the guy always shows up in the playoffs
oilers are the biggest frauds they were gifted 4 first overall picks and 1 generational 3rd overall pick (draisaitl) as well as many other first rounders hot take if another team got nail yakupov he would have became a star you guys were gifted AGAIN a potential generational talent (stuart skinner) and you guys want to start campbell just embarassing we do not even talk about your defense and the lack of depth on every line besides 1 and who is that gm which had the idea to trade youngsters for old asses.FRAUDS
Imagine how Pavelski feels
It’s a shame the Edmonton draisaitls couldn’t pull it off 🫤
So many people saying McDavid needs to pick it up, really?! He had two points, do you think Edmonton should win 7-6, maybe try playing some defence!
Laughing about the critics on Leon. An offensive Player has at first to do what? there's also a goalie, a defensefe line, he's been criticised for what? missing one check? WOW, seems that he's responsable for getting 6 goals? love these experts
For whatever reason we play bad and lose the first game, has happened the last 6 series…This time, too much beach and vacation time perhaps? Tire Fire on defense, nothing new with this team. I'm sure it will be better next game. Hopefully Derek Ryan is back and Holloway is inserted in for Yamo. We need his size and speed. They should insert Nemelainen for Desharnais, he has done well before, cant hurt!….Anyway, I still say Oilers in 6. G O G!…
The leafs have maddddd depth. Yall keep saying t he core 4 should be dominating at all times and tiring themselves out but no, they're doing defense, they're letting their teammates chip in and get better. It's a team sport
you gotta CHANGE A NEW GOALIE Geezzzzzz man!!!
this audio is trash…??????
Love how button said they need more contributions from nuge and Kane ETC and then Jay instantly asks if they need depth scoring.. like really? Sorry for the rant just thought that was dumb
The Leafs can't say they are good individually nor as a team 😂
This is the story of the Oilers….the players who are too good for the team…and the other teammates who can't get it done when the cards are down. At times like this, I just hope McDavid moves on to play with a team that will complement what he does. Draisaitl does that….but others do not.
Dude just said Darnell nurse is a good defender 😂😂
Skinner looks shaken since round 1. A lot of goals were wrist shots. Not saying he sucks but like Alex lion feeling the heat and he's wrinkling. Skinner looks like Campbell reg season. And Campbell looks sharp. Wtf. Poor Oilers management tough choices ahead
Shut up TSN good God it's one game also worry about Toronto never winning round two since they added a seventh team
