2022 Stanley Cup playoffs - It'll be father vs. son in Colorado ... (ESPN)

Houses divided? Loyalties tested? For the next week or two, the relationship between Dave and Josh Manson might be a bit strained.

"[He knows] when to push and when to back off," Josh said. "I think that's what makes him a good coach as well [as a father]. He knows how to handle situations. It's not every player who can make the transition, and Dave paid his dues with the Western Hockey League's Prince Albert Raiders and the American Hockey League's Bakersfield Condors before being promoted to the NHL in February from Bakersfield as part of Oilers head coach Jay Woodcroft's staff. He'll be there for me, and I'll be there to talk to him about whatever." It's rare enough for a player to follow his father's footsteps into the league. Reaching this Western Conference final was no easy feat for either Manson. There's a competitive fire on each side to emerge victorious.

Game 1 of the Western Conference Final is set to begin in The Mile High City tonight. Puck drop is scheduled for just after 6:00 p.m. ...

And between us I think we won five Stanley Cups over those seven years,” he said. For four straight seasons, Colorado felt it had the team to go deep, maybe all the way. DENVER, Colo. — The Western Conference final, which might just turn out to be a series for the ages once the Edmonton Oilers and Colorado Avalanche have fired their last shot, isn’t just about superstar vs. Smith, who also won the head-to-head duel with L.A.’s Jonathan Quick in Round 1, has an 8-3 playoff record, a 2.70 goals-against average and a .927 save percentage in the first two rounds. Nice storyline and we know the ending. “Hopefully that gets more viewers and lowers escrow, but other than that, I don’t care.” But when the team returns to skate on the ice for Game 3 back in Edmonton, that banner won’t be up there for the occasion like it should be because of some unexpected complication. The Oilers are keeping things fairly similar to what they did against Calgary in Round two. The Avs don’t have top-four D Sam Girard, who suffered a playoff-ending broken sternum when checked by Blues’ Ivan Barbashev in the last series. The first two league games this season were back-and-forth, played at a frenetic pace, but 3-2 and 2-1 results. Kathy Kovacs sent us a couple pictures of her beautiful puppy, who is busy taking a pre-game nap. After extinguishing the Flames in 5 games the Oilers now face the top team in the west.

Edmonton Oilers Vs Colorado Avalanche- Game 1 Pre-Game (Oil On Whyte)

The Edmonton Oilers continue their run to the Stanley Cup Finals tonight as they play the Colorado Avalanche in game 1 of the Western Conference Final.

For that reason I think we will be watching the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup Finals. After watching how the Edmonton Oilers were to shut down the Flames top line after game one is the reason I think the Oilers win. As much as Colorado was the better team during the regular season, so were the Calgary Flames and the Edmonton Oilers beat them in 5 games. The Oilers were able to come back to tie it at 2 only to lose 4-3. The Edmonton Oilers have players on their third line that have played on their first line. After dismantling the Calgary Flames in only 5 games they Edmonton Oilers open up the 3rd against a formidable Colorado Avalanche team.

2022 Western Conference Final preview: Colorado Avalanche host ... (Fox News)

The Colorado Avalanche host the Edmonton Oilers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals on Tuesday night.

Colorado’s appearance in the conference finals comes after three consecutive losses in the second round. The Oilers have had little impact in the playoffs since their last Stanley Cup Finals appearance. Edmonton would win four straight, including a thrilling overtime victory in Game 5 to advance to the Western Conference Finals. Forwards Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen led the team in scoring during the regular season with a combined 180 points between them. Led by NHL superstar Connor McDavid, the Oilers finished the regular season 2nd in the Pacific Division with a 49-27-6 record. With names like McDavid and Draisaitl and MacKinnon and Makar on the roster, it's no surprise that both teams are each averaging more than four goals a game in this postseason.

NHL playoffs live updates: Oilers, Avalanche face off in Western ... (The Athletic)

It will be a star-studded battle between the Colorado Avalanche and the Edmonton Oilers as the remaining two teams from the Western Conference battle it out ...

Oilers vs. Avalanche is Manson vs. He’s a No. 1 pick who has blossomed into an NHL superstar, and now he’ll get to play on a bigger stage than he reached in his first eight years. As far back as when he was at Shattuck-St. Mary’s, a prep high school in Minnesota, he and friend Danny Tirone wouldn’t talk to each other for hours after contentious pingpong battles, Tirone told The Athletic. The two also held a knee hockey tournament in their dorm, using their artistic skills to build a trophy, but when their team lost, they had to leave the room to cool down. The Athletic’s NHL staff opened the postseason with the Avalanche as its favorite to win the West, the Lightning its second favorite to win the East and the Rangers and Oilers two of its favorites to be playoff dark horses. Jeff Murray, the program director at Konnor 97, cannot say for certain that Connor McDavid, the station’s namesake, actually enjoys classic rock, but that is beside the point. The NHL’s final four is set. For those wondering, the record for most goals in a playoff game? Both teams combined for 11 goals through the series' opening two periods, with the Avalanche holding a 7-4 lead after 40 minutes of play. They left Brett Kulak and Tyson Barrie gasping for breath in the thin mile-high air as they finally escaped to the bench after a two-minute shift that was virtually all defending. The reigning Hart Trophy winner, McDavid scored the game-winning goal in the Oilers' Game 5 thriller to send Edmonton to the West final. If Colorado wants to avoid a heartbreaking repeat, the Avs will need to find a counter for Edmonton's seemingly unstoppable star line of Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Evander Kane. The trio combined for 35 points against Calgary in the second round.

DENVER (AP) — J.T. Compher scored twice, Cale Makar had a goal and two assists and the Colorado Avalanche held off the Edmonton Oilers 8-6 on Tuesday night ...

Sakic captured two Stanley Cup titles as an Avalanche player and is trying to deliver another calling the shots from the front office. Hall of Fame QB John Elway joined Wayne Gretzky and the crew on TNT’s pregame show. But by 7:24 left in the third, Edmonton made it 7-6 on Nugent-Hopkins’ power-play goal. So it was great,” the defenseman said. At times, this looked more like an All-Star Game — lots of scoring and defense being optional — rather than a conference final. This was a matchup billed as a showdown between stars Nathan MacKinnon and Connor McDavid and they delivered.

Why Cale Makar's goal against the Oilers was not ruled offside (Sportsnet.ca)

"It was determined that Colorado's Valeri Nichushkin legally tagged up at the blue line before Cale Makar entered the offensive zone with the puck on his stick.

And anyone that's carrying the puck over a blue line, whether your stick is on the puck or not, that's debatable." "It was determined that Colorado's Valeri Nichushkin legally tagged up at the blue line before Cale Makar entered the offensive zone with the puck on his stick. "We still feel the player had control of the puck. "I knew they were trying to get out of the zone. Once Nichushkin was deemed to have properly exited the zone, Makar gained sufficient control of the puck for it to be considered possession, making his zone entry and ensuing goal onside. Despite much of the hockey world expecting the goal to be overturned since Nichushkin was still in the Oilers' zone when the puck crossed the blue line, the officials came out after a lengthy review to announce the call stood.
