Leon Draisaitl scored a pair of goals, Evan Bouchard tallied three assists on the night, and the Edmonton Oilers closed out the series in five games with a 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Kings.

McDavid calling out the play on that third goal. The man's a hockey genius. Picking out holes in the defense with 3 seconds left on a powerplay, in a playoff elimination game, like it's a leisurely sunday afternoon walk in the park.
Nhl is too easy for mcdavid
Gretzky's office? Nah, it's McDavid's now!
@@grantwalker2477 mcd is better than gretzky he's doing it in a tougher era goalies aren't allowing goals from center ice, they're bigger more pads and more skilled
@@piggy8761 the counter weight argument against that holds water though. If it was so easy then why wasn't everyone doing it back then? They weren't. Gretzky was just that much better than everyone else that he'd have the Art Ross more or less clinched in Feb 1st each year. I agree though that the players, training, physical regimen, speed and skill set are much higher today. The argument about greatness revolves in my mind more around how much better than everyone else at the current moment the player is. I wouldn't say mcd is better than Gretzky at separating himself from the rest of the NHL but he's close to if not equal to Gretz. He'll just never get those 215 point seasons today, which is to your argument.
@@Neonator08 I get your point but c'mon McDavid, even MacKinnon are clearly more talented than Gretzky, goalies were legit trash back then and these guys are making the rest of the league look like the AHL almost every night in an era where NHL players are ATHLETES, not smoking and drinking between periods. Now in terms of efficiency, impact on the game, winning championships, etc., that's an entirely different conversation and the Great One has that nickname for a reason.
McDavid and Draisaitl are behind only WAYNE GRETZKY and MARIO LEMIEUX in Playoffs PPG average... simply INCREDIBLE Duo!! 🔥

Toronto fans are salty in the comments section
Starkes Spiel von dir Leon, 2 Tore einfach Klasse, es freut mich sehr für die Oilers, eine Runde weiter. Ich bin schon sehr auf die nächste Serie gespannt. Ihr habt eine Super Mannschaft auch mit eurem Torwart 👍🏻 ihr schafft das 🏆LG aus Berlin 👍🏻🍻
I've never seen that many hugs and pats in a post-series handshake. That's what makes NHL hockey so special.
Kings were just happy they get more practice at the range before the oil meet up with them in a week. Kings will kick the oils butt at golf.
Third straight year these these two have met in the playoffs. Gotta be a different level of respect between the combatants at this point.
This Oilers team is probably Canada's best Stanley Cup threat in the last 10 years. If their depth can contribute, and their top lines play like this, they have a real shot
True, if Edmonton can face their demons, being the cunucks then I think they might go the full 16, but if it’s the preds they are gonna be super super over confident going into round 3 and are gonna blow it.
They got a really good draw we'll see when they step up in class as the playoffs continue, I have my doubts.
@@SkopedOT Beat their demons? What demons? The Canucks have had 1 good season against them in 8 years, and 3 of the wins were at the beggining of the year when everyone including San jose was beating them, and 1 win without mcdavid. The Canucks are barely beating a fake playoff team in Nashville right now lmao
@@dungeree7292 im an oilers fan, the only team that will compete with us in the next round is cunucks, demko is back next round too remmeber that part of the reason preds are competing is bc of no good goalie
I think it's safe to say do NOT let Edmonton get on the power play. They are lethal.
Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are the best duo
They're childish whiners who can't win without bad officiating.
@@bunsw2070 🤣
buuuuut they aren't a duo. They're on different lines.
Yeah, except for every power play, right after PKs, in 3rd periods in close games, when being behind, in OT and for about 20-30 games a season just for the fun of it. @@brianbenoit6883
@@bunsw2070🤡
That Edmonton power play though. They're like poetry. They move around and flow like they should be accompanied by music. Errr...sorry about that. Fighting. Blood. Big hits.
darn auto correct.
Knoblauch / Coffey have brought so much calmness to this group. The difference between this series and the 2022 / 2023 series is that the Oilers look in control at all times. There's now an intrinsic trust in their game and the process. Critical for playoff hockey.
To be fair LA isn't really that good right now lol
Yeah, bigger difference is LS is trash this year, made some bad trades and they don't really have a goalie....
That fan base looks amazing
I mean if there's any positives for the Kings to take away, they technically killed those 2 penalties...
Glass half full kinda guy eh ahaha
They were absolutely robbed of the 5 on 3. Refs handed the game to the oil.
@@1TreeStudioDid the refs hand the oilers a 4-1 series win as well? Keep crying lol
@1TreeStudio LOL. Quit diving and you won't get called for it
@@jpeglang Not saying that, but this game they did, if you dont see it then you do not know hockey
Fun fact: Oilers won game 7 the 1st time, game 6 the 2nd and game 5 the 3rd time.. y'all see a pattern here 👀
next year can potentially be oilers beating them in 4 games if they don’t change the playoff format.
Watch the drag queens get Marksbum next year and still get swept. The oilers own them. With that putrid core they have they should tear it down and rebuild again
So next year in 4
So 2025 it will be a sweep vs Kings
we sweeping next year
Definitely should have shown the highlight where Rittich loses his helmet, and still makes a glove save on a one-timer slap shot with no bucket on.
Lethal Powerplay
Hyman continues to be in the right spot @ the right time 🤩
But they are giving him a rough time for being there
Hyman's hymen has been fully broken in
Lets hope the Canucks can win on Friday to set up an all Canadian matchup guaranteeing a Canadian team in the final four.
I’m praying for an Oilers/Canucks matchup cuz I’m a big Nucks fan and my Dad’s a big Oilers fan. Game days gonna be lit 🔥🔥
@@dman1417A white dude talking like super spade. Drop your ebonics lessons. They aren't "lit".
Oilers - Leafs in the finals
Ideally you would like to see that series go 7 games and Vancouver or Nashville come out as tired and banged up as possible. Rest is a weapon in the playoffs. Survival of the fittest.
@@algrundau9441not if you want the canucks to win
I love the subdued celebration of the players for winning the series. The Oilers are looking like the real deal... but so are 3 or 4 other teams. It's going to be interesting!
the oilers are virtually unstoppable on the power play...
umm...
How they can call that draisaitl shot a goal when you cant see the puck inside the glove?

@@velipulla3936 Probably because his entire glove was in the net and it was literally impossible it wasn't a goal lol?

I can't stand when people whine that teams score a lot on PP. If their team was as successful they don't complain at all. It's part of the game stop bitching already.
Special teams is very important in the playoffs. Who moves to the next round can be dependent on it. Look at the Leafs they are struggling mightily because they can't buy a PP goal despite the opportunities.
Meanwhile, Leafs fans could only dream about whining about scoring too much on the PP.
Exactly, it's a key factor to score on the pp. It can win you games. I don't understand why they are complaining ? You want the NHL to remove the penalties ? lmao like what
Same energy as people complaining about grenade launchers in Call Of Duty back in the day. They're both part of their respective games yet they can be avoided.
I farted
Its crazy they said after the game that LA had only been leading for 28 minutes in the entire series... They spent a lot of time chasing goals.
More time playong down a man. Must feel good knowing oils had to have thebrefs help them win.
@@jaydee8864lame take.
@@jaydee8864 one bad call...ONE!!!! in the 5th game, after an entire season of it seeming like the refs were under direct orders to ensure the Oilers didn't win. If you don't want to be down a man, DON'T take stupid penalties. Kane and Draisaitl were taught that lesson last year and seemed to have learned it. Now it's the Kings' turn to learn.
@@jaydee8864 Still bitching huh? What a delusional person you must be, life must be rough for you, unable to see the bad both ways. You forget your team plays dirty to win but I guess thats a conversation you dont want to have. Quit being a sore loser youre making good LA fans look bad.
What happened to 1-3-1? 😂
doesn't work on the oilers lol
Oilers sent 2 guys down one side and made sure the puck went there.
Oilers figured it out in regular season, idk why they kept on try to use that strategy only to lose
its hard when there are only 4 men on the ice go sniff trudeau
its hard when you only have 4 men on the ice now go sniff trudeaus hair
my old teammate from childhood mcdavid is insane lol! we were little kids playing and i'd want to be one of the top guys on the team so he was someone to compete with, i remember thinking jesus christ i gotta keep up with this guy, he was always so fast and good at hockey since 5-6 years old. i remember thinking about how if i can't be the best on the team i'd never make it cause there's way better players out there, never thought he'd be one of the greatest ever lol. at 6 years old i watched on the bench him on a breakaway and shoot it over the net (i couldnt raise the puck) and then he wrapped around his own shot before anyone caught up. we'd play in tournaments a year up and mcdavid was already playing a year up himself
Cool story if its true :)
@@erikm9768Hockey is a very small world. I’m just a retired high tech guy but I’ve managed to coach the kids of NHLers, and with their dads helping out. It was a very cool insight into a very small world. I’m buying the story.

@@Mike-zf4xg you are probably right...
@@Mike-zf4xg You mean English right :) ?
Edmonton just owns LA. Simple as that. Draisaitl and Bouchard played great and the Oilers will await the winner of the Canucks-Predators series.
Not hard to do when you have the refs in your back pocket. Should have been a better series if the refs didnt want to hand McJesus a cup.
@@jaydee8864cry some more buddy
@@jaydee8864 😢
@@jmazen407 I will be crying with you when you dont get the calls next series and have to actually win 5v5.
@@jaydee8864 bye felicia 👋
Didn't score this time, but I love that PP sequence they run where Draisaitl goes to bumper and receives it on his backhand for a quick shot.
Series Summary: 1. LA put up a valiant effort, but took too many penalties trying to stop the Oilers stars (yes a few were weak calls) 2. Oilers finally have playoff worthy goaling and defense that can shutdown games with a lead. 3. P-L Dubois was invisible and seems to be sinking every ship he sails on.
I would have had more respect for the NHL if they let the Kings play instead of always giving the Oils the PP. The call on embellishment was just stupid and changed the outcome of the game. Give Oils credit for a good PP but thats expected with McJesus playing.
And Talbot getting scored on 17 times in 3 matches doesnt help either, they shouldve put Rittich in way earlier. You might say the defend was horrible, but 17 goals? Come on
@@jaydee8864What are you on about? The embellishment was a super accurate call. He acted like his legs got totally slashed out. The Kings players were all acting like their spines were made of jello. Just flipping over on everything. The kings had their power plays just like the Oilers had theirs. The difference was the oilers scored on their PP while LA didn’t score a single goal on theirs. Oh and the kings had some super lucky bounces. The first goal that LA had tonight was a fluke luck goal.
@@jaydee8864😂 It's a good thing tools like you don't make the rules. Literally braindead. Yeah just let LA hook slash and do whatever! 🤡
@@jackbrax7808 Only Oils fans see it this way. Seriously take your blinders off. That was one sided officiating.
Bravo Edmonton! The Leafs could learn some lessons from that wild Power Play
Leafs has no point shot shooter.
@@johnl2613 Leafs also don't have Zach Hyman in front of the net.
@@reaganharder1480 They used to. I still shake my head at the Leafs letting Hyman get away. He was and still is a great grinder, full commitment, something the Leafs have lacked.
@@harryposner7584 Yep. He definitely benefits from the players he plays with in Edmonton, but his hard working style is good on any team and he's earned every ounce of success he is now getting.
Draisaitl is the most disrespected player in the league. Always turns it up a notch in the playoffs, incredible. Oh, and he won a hart and an art ross when McDavid was out, so don't bring up that stupid argument that he's just good because of McDavid. They both benefit from playing with another all time great player.
Cause he's a punk.

Congratulations to the Oilers. They are a well oiled machine. Pun intended.
The best team won! 🎉🎉🎉
BEHIND EVERY GREAT VICTORY IS A HARD FOUGHT BATTLE good to see Edmonton wrap up the series good effort
Is it just me or is Edmonton’s power play super fun to watch
Sportsnet, you need to show other highlights other than goals and saves. Hits and penalties are part of the game. You need a better editor.
McDavid's pass at 5:38 is insane.
McDivid deserves a Cup, and i hope he wins it this year
Still 720p Crazy
That Arvidson play deserves more
Oilers vs Canucks. That’ll be INSANE.
Yeah baby!
@sportsnet how did you not add Drats steal at the end. The crowd rose as he passed them.
Gotta give credit to Derek Ryan for throwing the body with no stick to break that puck loose for Leon
Once McDavid gets moving on power play he is always going to find a open player because he is so fast he draws usually two players and the more he skates circles around everyone on power play the more he finds a open player
Sad beginning of my morning. For NHL with love from Russia)
EVANDER KANE "I just gave it a little tappy . A little tap tap taparoo "
Congratulations Oilers, you deserve it.
We are moving on baby!! What a game and what a series for the boys! Weathered the early storm for the most part, and when they were down, they took advantage of the Kings handing them power plays and fought back! That was also an incredible defensive effort in the third against a desperate Kings team giving it everything they could muster. It's what allowed the Oilers to close out so many games during the 16 game win streak and it worked again here tonight! Bring on Nashville or bring on Vancouver. Whoever it is, we will be ready for them! LET'S GO OILERS!!!!
More like refs handing them pp but they really want mcd to have that cup so got to make it as easy as possible.

All the people whining here about the Oilers getting calls their way are hilarious. Ya they definitely got a lot of favourable calls their way this series, for the first time in FOREVER. I can’t remember the last time I watched a playoff series where it didn’t feel like they were playing against the other team plus the refs. I can name off the top of my head 3 calls against the Oilers that decided games, if not entire series, and none that went their way. So ya, refs were on their side this series, and I don’t feel bad about it at all. Kings fans, welcome to our world. It’s not so fun being on the other side of it huh? The reason you weren’t whining about this the last two years is because you were the ones getting all the calls, and you still lost those series, so maybe it’s not the reffing?
