The Oilers are on a roll. The Arizona Coyotes (the only other team to sweep a Round 1 opponent) are rolling. By virtue of the NHL’s reseeding choice, the two immovable forces will face off in Round 2 starting tonight, right here, at 7pm MT.

About 15 minutes prior to game time, the stream will be live here:

In case you missed it, we ran a completely random sim (aside from some tweaking to the sliders to make them more realistic for a 20 minute period sim) and the @Edmonton Oilers, valiantly fought hard to make a series of it in the Western Conference Finals before falling to the @Dallas Stars in 7 games.

If you would like to check out that recap check here:

Then #NationSims2 began with us playing the @Chicago Blackhawks in the play-in round.

Here is a break down of how all the other series went:

And then the NHL went and announced they will be reseeding every round, so we will too now… here is how the matchups lined up (Round 1 results can be seen below):

When we ran the previous playoff stream, you asked for the ability to pick the jersey matchup each night. We love doing this for you and this will continue, I will just be running the jersey polls the day before a game to get them out there longer, and to get others to tune in as well as you!

Since the playoffs started, I have been trying to get you guys to answer a poll that lets some… I mean, I have been happy to do this haha. This time I think I will run a start or sit poll on social.

Look for that on game days.

Today’s question is:

Ennis – McDavid – Kassian
RNH – NeonLeon – Yam
AA – Sheahan – Archibald
Neal – Haas – Nygard

Klef – Larsson
Nurse – Bear
Jones – Green
