As many fans may have expected, this series is going to be called by none other than Sportsnet's top broadcasting crew � consisting of Chris Cuthbert, Craig Simpson, and Scott Oake. Cuthbert's voice has become synonymous with Canucks games and Craig Simpson is notably a former Edmonton Oilers player.
Vancouver enters the series as an underdog against the high-flying Oilers, who dismantled the Los Angeles Kings in five games. The Canucks struggled through a six-game series win against the Nashville Predators on the heels of wins from three separate goaltenders. Rookie Arturs Silovs clinched the series with a 1-0 shutout victory in just his third ever playoff start.
Quinn Hughes, J.T. Miller and company will have a tall task in taking down Connor McDavid's Oilers, who will surely be a much more challenging matchup than the Predators.
Sportsnet's John Bartlett, Gary Galley, and Kyle Bukauskas will man the Bruins-Panthers series, while Harnarayan Singh, Louie DeBrusk, and Sean MacKenzie will cover the Rangers-Hurricanes series (which already stands at 1-0 Rangers).
