T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers.
I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the Colorado Avalanche on Monday. The Oilers are now down 3-0 in the series and they are on the brink of elimination here. I think they are going to be desperate in this game and I expect them to leave everything out on the ice tonight to win this game and keep their cup hopes alive still. This is a last stand for the Oilers on home ice here and this is a game they have to win. They looked pretty good for the 1st bit of the game in their previous game but Mike Smith gave up some bad goals, the winning goal really late in that game too, and that led to their demise in that game. I think the Oilers are going to bounce back here though and I'd be shocked if the Oilers get swept here in the Western Conference finals. The Avs still have Francouz in net here and I'm not convinced he is as good as he has been playing. The Oilers have also struggled to get good shots off at him but I expect them to pepper him tonight facing elimination here and I expect them to throw pucks at the net all night. The Oilers didn't look terrible in any of these games, they just had some unfortunate situations with their goaltending. In the 1st game they scored a ton of goals on the Avs in a road game but had a terrible performance from Smith. In the 2nd game they couldn't score but their defensive effort was much better and they lost that game in a span of 3 minutes where Smith collapsed but other than that he looked good in that game. And then in the 3rd game they had a lead and all around played a really good game but again Smith let in a bad goal late that changed the landscape of that game. Smith is still a veteran goalie though with experience and a great career behind him, I expect him to step up and bounce back here since he is due for a good game. I think the Oilers are also going to put it all together here for a much better performance and I expect them to win this home game and stay alive. I like the Oilers to win this game.
T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Oilers.
