The talent difference looks so huge but Montreal is hanging in against Toronto. Have to give them credit.

Jets complete the sweep. Holy cow. Oilers fans have got to be absolutely melting down.
Getting the popcorn ready while I load up the Edmonton board.

Fun fact: since the creation of the Coyotes (1996-97 season), the Coyotes and the Oilers have played the exact same amount of playoffs games (66).

Proof that drafting 1OA means nothing!
Pay no attention to Chicago, Washington, Tampa, or Pittsburgh.

Rebuild usually means selling off assets for picks or prospects. We don't have any legitimate superstars, Edmonton has two. I would not be opposed to moving any Coyote if the return was equitable, but the Oilers would be crazy to hastily dump McDavid or Draisaitl.

I'd still much much much rather be trying to figure it out with McDavid on the roster than where we are. That is still a pretty good roster imo. Just needs some tweaks and probably a coaching change to a more modern style.
The Jets played their asses off. That kind of intense defence that consistently was impressive. Yeah, they don't have a McDavid but their roster is pretty damn good too. Hats off to them for a great series.

Right. If you could do a complete roster swap with Edmonton...would you? Abso-f***ing-lutely.
It was closer then the 4-0 sweep for sure. The Jets have a deeper team and it paid off for them but it is still a game of mistakes, you just can't make them. In game 3 Mcworld had a key turnover that lead to a goal and last night his chip in got picked off and lead to the final goal. If it were any other player, he would be roasted for that. I still think they could get 3 good players for Drai which would make them a better team.

So there is a decent shot Mike Smith has to retire this summer with no Cup ring.
How sad
Still no love for the most successful netminder in Coyote history. How sad.

What they really need is a team, instead of Drai, McJesus, Nurse, and RNH and then a bunch of Tippett's Best Buddy Benchfillers. If your strategy is to octuple-shift 97 and wear out your best players endlessly, then you're not gonna go very far in a playoff where your opponents can roll all four lines at you.
I tell you, if it wasn't for Blake Wheeler existing and the bulk of their online fanbase wanting to kill hockey in Arizona and salt the earth afterward, I'd definitely be on board the Jets' bandwagon. I'd like to see them have a deep run, for no other reason than to honor Ducky.
The Oilers will continue to build around McDavid and Drai. They won't change coaches for next year, but DT will have to not only get them into the playoffs but win a couple of rounds.
Smith is a very competitive person, and a good goalie, even at his age. If we had Smith this year we may have made the playoffs. Our goalies, who were suppose to be an area of strength, was an area of shit.So there is a decent shot Mike Smith has to retire this summer with no Cup ring.
