The scandalous Evander Kane is playing a staggering spring: 12 games and 12 + 3 points is the Canadian’s balance in the playoffs.
- Oilers will play in the conference finals after a 16-year hiatus.
- Evil Kane, the raging hero of the oil men, is playing a great spring.
- Jesse Puljujärvi would love to meet Mikko Rantanen.
The Battle of Alberta, a playoff series between the Edmonton Oilers and the Calgary Flames, was ultimately a mouthful for Edmontons.
The Oilers defeated their vicious local opponent 4-1, winning Edmonton as a clear underdog before the start of the series.
The matter was resolved on Friday morning in Finnish time, when the oilmen sought a 5–4 victory from Calgary.
Connor McDavid settled overtime, and Jesse Puljujärvi scored one goal.
– I went from there to the pillar to putt inside. Everything is counted, they haven’t come terribly, plus “Pulju” in the playoffs for their second goal to Iltalehti.
The stars are shining
AOP
The Oilers won as many as four games in a row.
– It’s hard to win that team four times in a row. Printed with good self-confidence all the time. It paid off, we were tough, Puljujärvi thinks.
Where did the series go?
– Our number one winners were on fire. They were pushing with tremendous power. Our attack was too hard for them.
By “number one” Puljujärvi means McDavid and Leon Draisaitli. Both have rotten mega powers 7 + 19 = 26 in the spring 12 playoffs.
The duo control the playoffs.
As many as 45 goals were scored in the five games of the match series.
Kanen scandals

Evander Kane is Oilers ’30-year-old top striker. The man’s career and life have been overshadowed by several different scandals such as a contentious divorce, gaming debts and personal bankruptcy.
He has been charged with assault and other crimes, but has not been convicted of anything.
The striker’s NHL career seemed to have already come to an end, but the Oilers offered the horror spear one more chance.
Its famous last.
Kane came to Edmonton humbly. In 43 regular season games, the striker scored 22 goals and 39 power points.
“Team Dude”
In the playoffs, the pace of the Vancouverist has only accelerated. In 12 games, Kane, who is almost 100 kilos, has scored 12 + 3 points.
And most of all: the man is focused on playing, not roaring in the trough.
– Yes, there is an amazing dude, Puljujärvi starts.
– A dude with such a cold head that I haven’t seen him before. He is always ready when the game starts. When the place comes, he puts the puck in the cage.
– After all, he’s a nice guy who gets along with everyone. There is nothing wrong to say, a real team dude, praises Puljujärvi Kanea.
Tkachuk slapped
AOP
Kane is not always easy. The past goes with the games.
Flames snot Matthew Tkachuk tried to challenge Kane early in the match series. Among other things, Tkachuk offered money to Kane on loan, alluding to the man’s personal bankruptcy.
– At the beginning of the series, there was a lot of shouting. When they won the games, their confidence went down a bit. That shout subsided when we had a lot of intensity on the ground, Puljujärvi commented.
Attacking Rantanen?
Oilers will play in the conference finals for the first time in 16 years. In return, it will receive the winner of the Colorado Avalanche-St. Louis Blues.
In both cases, Puljujärvi and Mikko Koskinen will receive Finnish players.
– It’s not in our hands which one will come from there. In a way, it would be nice to get to play Avalanche and Mikko from Ranta against. Let’s be good friends.
Artturi Lehkonen also plays in Colorado.
About the master material

The NHL’s northernmost team, the Oilers, is four wins away from the Stanley Cup final. The last time the team celebrated the championship was in the spring of 1990.
Edmonton is already messed up.
– This is completely insane. The atmosphere in the hall has been stunning. From the games when you leave home, the streets and bars are full of people. Oilers tickets fly everywhere. Winning the Alberta match series is such a big deal for the people here.
– If we can play top hockey, then we have a chance to go all the way. Hopefully there will be no injuries, says Puljujärvi.
