The Edmonton Oilers are now officially in the offseason after their playoff run came to an end thanks to a six-game loss to the Vegas Golden Knights, who are on their way to their 4th conference final appearance in their brief franchise history.

“You pull Skinner three times in five games and you roll with him in Game Six? I don’t get it,” Gawlik said.
