Think Dallas will win. Think they have pretty much better everything that Van had. And they took care of a top heavy Avs teams which is similar to how the oilers are constructed.

I feel the same way but it wouldn't surprise me if the Oilers win the series then go on to win the SC they are really focused right now.

So funny how the entire narrative changes, and then changes back again. And again.

'That team is going to steamroll this team. Oh wow, they're choking. Blah, blah, blah.'

 

[Breakers]

Hahahahah Nurse

Genius tip buddy

 

[Flik]

Wow, what a gift for Seguin there. All tied now.

 

[dez]

Who didnt see that coming from the coilers.

 

[wetcoast]

Star without Hintz and Jake being a hit or miss goalie in the playoffs…. they were there for the taking. Makes the loss suck even more

I don't think that we would match up well with Dallas even with Hintz out.

 

[ForecheckBackcheck]

Hate to say it but the Oilers are looking very, very solid. They’re looking confident.

And we had them completely on the ropes, even without our star goalie.

Flash-back to period one of Game 6... its a 1-1 game, we had just embarrassed the Oilers in Game 5, and we get a 4 min double minor powerplay with McDavid in the box. The series is ours for the taking. Chance to score a goal, maybe two, and just put a dagger into the Oilers. Elimination game.

And we proceed to shit the bed, not manage a single real scoring chance, and lose the game in convincing fashion..

That failed powerplay was when we lost the series right there.

A healthy Canucks team with Demko would have resulted in a SCF birth.

The Pettersson injury in Jan.
Demko hurt.
Boeser with the broken finger and blood clot.
Depth guys with injuries and looking fatigued.

Simply put, it just wasn't our year. As usual, our most important guys get hurt and that just spoils the party.

 

[Ace of Hades]

We always get f***ed by injuries.

Happened in 2011 and now it happens 13 years later.

 

[bbud]

Oil could not hold lead come on big D

 

[Breakers]

LOL

It funny even oiler fans are begging them to break up nurse and desharnais

Coach won’t do it

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Damn just saw this MLSE paid $115 million for a WNBA franchise in a league that had never made a profit.

 

[valkynax]

Overtime it is, oh boy.

So stupid. Two periods in game 1 and people are already proclaiming that Dallas sucks and Oilers are going to the finals?

 

[Breakers]

That’s chump change for MLSE

They spend more on signing bonuses for the leafs

 

[mossey3535]

All the goals tonight have been pretty lucky. Thank God dallas tied it.

Ever since they went to the shot blocking mode, Skinner has looked a lot better. They're just not letting a lot of pucks through and that plays to his limitations.

 

[God]

for once gretzky doesn't look absolutely trashed on tnt

I agree but with Mcdrai they can score against the run of play. And as long as they keep it close, that talent can come out on top.

I think Dallas has been better tonight on balance but either team could win on a single shot.

 

[Slapshot_11]

I'm 100% convinced McDavid does these high sticks on purpose

 

[mossey3535]

I was going to say how many high sticks is mcdavid going to get away with but I guess they caught him.

 

[God]

They're allowed to talk about the missed high stick and then call it? Did Kelly Sutherland actually learn from his mistake?

 

[Nomobo]

Karma is a bitch for McDavid…

 

[Vector]

LOL

Problem is the other pairing of Nurse and Ceci is also garbage.

 

[PG Canuck]

Can’t stand McWhiner. Clear penalty and he’s just crying and crying and crying

 

[valkynax]

What is McDavid complaining about? That was more clear than the high stick to Hughes.
