Dallas with no urgency, unbelievable that they could lose a series to Edmonton after knocking out Vegas and Colorado. They are generating next to no offense against a team with Skinner in nets, pathetic, 3-0 now.

Dallas is giving a Bruins type home playoff performance tonight, pathetic. Skinner can go for a nap in the Oilers net. I am now convinced that home ice is a clear disadvantage in the NHL playoffs.

I mean they’re playing with Tanev at maybe 40% and the corpse of Ryan Suter. And still playing 5 D.
Tanev is not Cale Mahar. Furthermore they only have 10 shots on goal after 2 periods, of those 10 shots only 2-3 were decent chances. They have literally mailed this game in. Deboer once again coming up short, at least they play on the road next game.
Agreed. I’m not an Oilers fan I’m old enough to remember 88 and 90, but I still blame Seguin for 2013, so I don’t want him to win. Petty of me probably, but oh well. LOL.

This is why Dallas can't have nice things. Started out sleepwalking against Vegas, couldn't finish off Colorado at home in game 5, no-show at home tonight.
I see them more as a victim of a brutal draw. Knights and Avs have two of the very best rosters in the league. Putting them away is no easy task, and would have taken a lot of effort. Now they're paying for it. Playoffs are hard and you have to beat the best teams, but it's been a crazy rough run for the Stars. Finishing top of the conference did them zero favors.

Let’s Go Bruins👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Dallas might have lost the series when they were winning 2-0 in game 4. Wild.
At this point I still think it’s Florida that wins the Cup. If they do they become (or should be) the new blueprint to win it all…..

Maurice will find a way to not win the Cup one way or another.

Funny how Edmonton's Media asked McDavid and Knoblauch about why they thought they weren't getting that many Powerplays.
Now look what happen

Oettinger insane bedshitting up 2-0 that game you are correct. Worse than Rask up 3-0 in the series and game in 2010.

Have to give Edmonton credit after such an abysmal start to their season. The series isn't over yet, they still need to win one more game to get to the finals. But at one point in the season people didn't think they would even make the playoffs.

Dallas looks a little worn down. Running 5D with a beat up Tanev was something I mentioned before the series started.. doesn't feel that sustainable
Hope both series go to 7, it's been pretty entertaining hockey. Both are up for grabs, but an Oilers Florida final would be interesting to see. I think the Oilers speed/quick strikes could potentially kill Florida. Florida gets categorized as a physical grindy team, but their playoff success seems to come pretty heavily from the PP. They somehow seem to always draw more penalties than they take as soon as the playoffs start. Final would probably be decided by special teams and IMO Oilers are the best bet on that one

Me too as that is the best situation for Boston.
Edmonton was tied with Toronto as the top revenue producing team last season. NYR were third.
That's a plus for the cap and a plus for the Bruins.

Oilers look like they have learned the same lesson their ancient ancestors learned back in the early 80's. Come ready to play at both ends of the ice in the playoffs.
Yeah I noticed in the Vancouver series ... vast improvement. Defensive zone they are aggressive going after the puck giving the opponent no time, rather than sitting back letting the play come to them. In the offensive zone when with the lead ... safe dump ins, cycle puck behind net, keep puck against boards - killing as much time as possible. No errant passes through the middle of the zone, not allowing the opponent to break out with odd man rushes. ... very responsible.
Until someone comes up with the blueprint that beats it, then that becomes what we should do, and on and on. I don't know if its the Florida blueprint, or they have just had a happy confluence of the right players at the right time that have made it all work and, surprisingly, given their playstyle, few key injuries.

one of a thousand reasons we need you here to educate a buffoon like me, never even thought about how this would affect the cap, thank you as always Dom
