Morning Coffee: McDavid sends Oilers to Western Conference Final

For the first time since 2006, the Edmonton Oilers are headed back to the Western Conference Finals.

While I was sad to see it go so soon, the Battle of Alberta gave us a little bit of everything.

The Oilers beat the Calgary Flames 5-4 in overtime in Game 5 last night to win the series 4-1.

After the fastest four goals in Stanley Cup Playoffs history and a very critical and controversial overturned goal call, we got our first overtime of the series last night.

The stage was set for the best player in the game to do his thing.

As is the case more often than not, he didn’t disappoint.

Here’s the TSN EDGE Morning Coffee for Friday, May 27th, 2022.

McDavid Sends Oilers To West Finals

Connor McDavid needed just five minutes to end the Battle of Alberta in overtime.

The Oilers’ captain became the second player in franchise history to score a series-clinching overtime goal in a playoff game against the Flames.

McDavid anytime goal scorer was +134 at FanDuel Sportsbook.

McDavid to score and Edmonton to win was +340.

Meanwhile, Leon Draisaitl registered four assists in the win.

Despite playing through an ankle injury, Draisaitl is tied with McDavid for the league lead with 26 points in 12 games.

Draisaitl playing on “one ankle” had 17 points in a 5 game series. That’s insane!!! #stanleycup

Zach Hyman’s anytime goalscorer prop cashed again as he finished with a goal and two assists.
