Game One went swimmingly, 8-2 the final score with Tyler Ennis, Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid all getting two goals each. The times they were good and the chat feed was as lively as it has been since #NationSims1. I hope you will consider joining the fun tonight as we hit the airwaves right here in this article (just below) and on twitch under the username officialoilersnation.

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:

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 or Chiasson – Haas – Nygard

Klef – Larsson
Nurse – Bear
Jones – Green
