The Edmonton Oilers got swept out of the first round over a week ago now, but honestly, there are still a few more things we have to say about it.

While this was a tough loss to watch, the Edmonton Oilers did play some pretty good hockey throughout the entire series. The Winnipeg Jets got the better of the Oilers in game one, and they were not able to find an answer the rest of the series.

I think the biggest reason the Jets won was the fact that they shut down Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.
