forget about playing the matchup game for now both sides starting with their best here we go JT Miller wins the opening drop out there along with besser and P Suter against Conor McDavid two onone really didn’t develop back the other way goes dry cidal digging in here’s dyle to the forehand and she locks with the save shoveled across to the near side for McDavid he hold on newon Hopkins gives it back to him Dy settle in his power play office takes a long look cross like pass scores and Edmonton strikes first with another for Zack Hyman on the power play Lane to get it to the side where Hyman was so now he just gets lost and this is the quick little cycle down below Eugen Hopkins kicks out and this is one where Cole’s taking nobody you got to go over there and press you’re late in a penalty kill maybe a little bit of fatigue with just 30 seconds left and there’s on the doorstep you cannot let Keane on the receiving end of that up ahead it goes here Suter you Suter in that shot block a rebound that’ll test Stewart Skinner sent around the other way more checking by McDavid it’s play to hand fre cover gin byner Garin cers again the middle Garland in all alone he’s got the backand couldn’t get it past the blocker and here is kulak Deone looking to Cent her and another big hit that one DED out by Susi and Away goes M three on two Over The Line pass patteron in front and it’s cleared away from the front of the net did a really good job of handling the absorbing the hit and making the play to get it out and get the breakout going five points for Hugh in the opening round he had eight in the G in the series G enson Miller over the line H took another big hit from Hyman here’s a chance oh skner just got a piece of that little lost in coverage comes right through I think he had a chance to walk a little further down right off the knob and the stick sending it around to the near side nobody there for Vancouver and out SKS of Vander Kee chips it off the mor picks off his own pass and put it through the blue paint there’s dyle loose p he’ll feed it back e scores Matias EOL and Edmonton has a two- nothing lead just the little mistakes around your net that you can’t make against this group control of the puck you know Cole started in the offensive zone but he gets back so now it’s p Suter in the middle of the net and then it’s Cole who comes to the opposite side I don’t know who he was trying to reverse it to and that’s one of the first times look at how far Sheila slides here he he’s on his knees coming sliding through and he slides here’s MF with hoglander deep in the oiler Zone hoglander works the boards Rick toet felt his play improved steadily throughout his first playoff series that just off the P Ricochet back but a close call there here’s at the other end right on the doorstep mck finds the puck before Skinner can pass his toe but off the skate and Al K and you know he he can beat guys oneon-one you just haven’t seen that fire in intensity and that’s something that you like to see quickly Miller McDavid start and Carson Susi takes down wanted to get a piece of that Skinner did a nice job of closing the Gap to where the deflection could come from and snags out of midair face off win by L of scores vancou on the board Dakota Joshua [Music] well there’s a great example of going hard to the net to create something either be there just gets enough to go back Rider loses this draw nice job of lindol a little deflection a late job of Skinner fighting that loose Puck and watch Joshua just kick off he’s all over and he’s able to get it up and over the sprawling leg of Skinner as this one gets deflected comes off hard and there’s a tough angle shot but Vancouver gets on it with Joshua off Cole sends it deep MF couldn’t reach it Susi advances now M com out and a back hand stopped by and Skinner with an answer at the other end and Cody CCE along the in boards trying to tie it up after all that Chrissy drve Sidle went off the ice and into the room for the Edington ERS there he was right by the bench twice and went to go skate and stop C scores Cody C lets it Fly and Edmonton’s got a two-goal lead back CC almost put one in his own net and then how about the return that would have been a high stick had Cole been able to touch that the whistle would have gone and this is just a shot that ends up under seven minutes remaining here in the second period Zack Hyman back in shifting gear scores Hyman goes through the triangle and the Oilers have a 4- one lead on a quick transition play heyman’s by himself it’s a one against two and this is one that just Myers got a little bit hesitant and that to me as this shot goes does it hit the Stick of Myers he goes backand and that one’s a hard one to read and you’re right there’s that Josh Allen triangle that he was talking about Heyman didn’t get much on this and that little deflection that got pass nurse charging after Garland but CEI back in a hurry challenge there hit by lindol Josh W Front Garland couldn’t get a stick on that crashing in Joshua one hand it for Lindo centering it scor got a good bounce and the connects get one back [Applause] well it’s the play along the boards which win or loses in this battle as Heyman unable to make the play and instead it’s back in the back Rick toets crew down by two just to complete the thought of the stats four minutes more of offensive zone time in the game for the team that Trails by two put on the brakes looking for Miller he gets tied up Miller helps him out Susi for besser sends it back across and Ricochet Tosi R wide besser down low scores J T Miller and it’s a one goal [Music] game off the post and then side to side play who said trying to keep plays alive cross team and how about this deflection there’s two guys who know how to read each other and Bess Miller and that’s a shot pass from a just ridiculous angle Pon Hugh kicks it back try to get it to Pon that doesn’t work now across here’s a chance GL stop Stewart skitter off Lind Holmes tries to get in the way but also allows his goal tender to see this linol m with a slick o Lon out comes Vancouver hog glider spins it bler got a man going to the net but he curled back here’s Star Nita sedora well this defense PA watch the middle of the ice as Heron is his defense partner driving to the net takes three guys down now you got three Oilers actually in the way of their [Applause] goenda be in the screen in this is one that sedoro just walks right into through the legs of De har past Cory Perry and underneath the globe Allan newon Hopkins checked it sedor will take over Dan cover and Edmonton two and three and here comes Garland then FES the shot scor cter Garland in the second period it was the Oilers quick goals now you this place is alive the long stretch pass standing still and that gives Garland a little bit of the time and then just moves it enough that fake shot forces here’s McDavid trying to get back in Conor McDavid in the SL the ne hont Block H follows knock to the boards buar one timer L still lose for Newton Hopkins at home one more shot clock guysle and P locked and Vancouver has won game one [Music]
