Dallas is outplaying Edmonton in a lot of ways tonight.
Score effect. Willing to bet Edmonton turns it on again if Dallas gets a goal.

Edmonton has just been totally focusing their efforts at keeping most of everything to the outside and are making Skinners job easy by clearing rebounds or down low chances.

It’s been like that the whole game since the first whistle

McDavid magic on a few shifts is the difference

I think it was a forgone conclusion when the Oil won the McDavid lottery that he'd mostly bring a cup there. The fact that they've managed to screw it up so badly until now is the most surprising part imo.

That being said, nothing in life is guaranteed and a loss in the finals would be *chefs kiss*

Florida just looks dominant. To beat Tampa, Boston and NYR - that’s incredible.

Barkov vs McDavid will be interesting

Canucks offence was doomed as soon as Tocchet and Alvin chose Mikheyev over Kuz.

Anyone that watched the last 3 seasons could tell you that Miller is the only guy you can rely on to score by himself.

If Edmonton wins, you got admit being a Calgary Flames fan would be f***ing brutal right now.

The only hope that the rivals Edmonton not winning a cup is led by two players they traded to Florida, and barkov lol

You can just see how dallas plays exactly like tocchet had van, around the boards, very slow easy west, and constant attempts trying tips...I know tocchet had an obsession with dallas I just dont see them as a team to model your system after, not like they have won a cup. And playing a good fast team it just is not successful hockey right now. I am actually shocked it worked against the avs but the nichushkin effect again might have had them shook.

Florida will be interesting, they are finally a team thats fast, puts lots of shots on net and does not sit back.

I agree but this forum was also cocky how dallas would destroy them, you just never know. Florida will be a big test, playing kings, van, dallas have all been similar defensive systems and east west hockey, finally playing an aggressive fast florida team will be interesting.

Florida is way better than LA, Dallas or our team. (Especially without Demko)
