Oilers forward Evander Kane was a menace around the Vegas net during Game 4, and it seemed to be a purposeful strategy from the team.
Evander Kane has been at his best ever since returning from injury to join the Oilers in the playoffs, maybe even extending his tenure in Edmonton with his quality play.
Evander Kane responds by saying Oilers planned to get in Hill's kitchen
While Kane did stop short of saying he was personally antagonizing Adin Hill, he did say the Oilers are planning to crash the net and create havoc in the slot. If that involves their goalie, so be it.
I think we take pride and we know it's tough to get to Vegas' net. They have two d-men there who kind of just stand there the entire time
I don't know if we were purposefully trying to get in his head or get to him, but he seemed to be taking some slashes against us. It's tough to avoid contact when you're getting cross-checked into him. We want to go there hard and play within the rules and not have goals disallowed, so that's important.

Kane's obviously addressing Adam Henrique's second goal of the night, which involved Kane crashing into Hill and getting chased down.
The Oilers forward is obviously acting as a pest, but when it's creating that havoc that leads to goals, it's clearly effective hockey.
It's truly impressive to see the work Kane is putting it at 33 years old coming off a season long injury. Props to him for elevating his game when the lights are brightest.
