The @GoldenKnights are off to the Conference Finals once again. Only one question remains: will they host the @DallasStars or the @SeattleKraken in Game 1? #StanleyCup#NHLStats: https://t.co/uILgn7XClg pic.twitter.com/LprwrKfIG5

Marchessault has become Edmonton’s number-one enemy.
In short, the Golden Knights advance to the Western Conference Finals, and now await their opponent, who will be determined by the winner of tonight’s Game 7 between the Dallas Stars and the Seattle Kraken.
Imagine if the Kraken won, we’d have a conference final series between the two most recent expansion teams.
As for the Edmonton Oilers, well, they’ve unfortunately been eliminated and are now on vacation.

It’s been 30 years since any Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup, and it’s been 30 years since Gary Bettman was commissioner of the NHL.
I’ll let you choose between pure chance and conspiracy.
We’re talking here, of course, about the Florida Panthers, the Vegas Golden Knights and the Seattle Kraken.
I’ll be honest, I don’t really have a team left to root for right now, with the Oilers out of the picture.
So I’ll be following the rest of the series with a little less enthusiasm.
Prolongation
– Here are yesterday’s results.
