My brother in Christ...they lost 6-1 and have only scored 1 goal in their last 6 periods against Stuart Skinner.

This has to be one of the most lopsided Conference Finals in years. Just blow out after blow out
Damn not much hope for Dallas after this one. Despite all the shots, not too many high quality looks. I think they tried to copy the Panthers with their hard forecheck and aggressive pinches from the wall but they were absolutely murdered for it, the Oilers just moved the puck too fast and they got a ton of fast breaks.
Otter let in 6 but pretty much all them were good looks or odd man plays, could've gone even worse. Which is why I'm pessimistic about the series now.

The warning signs for Dallas came at the end of the year when they lost nine in a row, and even surrendered a three goal lead to the undermanned Canucks and lost.
They bucked up a bit in the playoffs to outlast the Av's and beat the undermanned Jets-- and return of Heiskanen, helped a lot. But they're simply giving up too many quality chances--something that plagued them in the last quarter of the season.
As for Carolina, simply put they don't have anybody down the middle. I'm not even sure they have a No. 1 center. No wonder they were kicking the tires on Elias Pettersson a year ago.
They're being totally outclassed by a battle-hardened Florida team.

Once again, its round 1 of the playoffs that ended up with the most exciting series and storylines, round 2 and beyond has been super meh this year.
It’s only 3 games, win the next one and they get home advantage back.RIP Dallas:

They need to score more than 1 goal to manage that. Against Stuart Skinner.
Nah. Unless Skinner loses his game shark, I think the Stars are seeing stars.
Maybe we can get them to overpay for Pettersson now, although that would probably seal it for Hughes.

All this talk about phony teams is exactly why you just gotta get in and why next year can be big for us Canucks. Just get in and anything can happen. Hell I'd take out chances over Edmonton right now than any of LA,Vegas, Dallas lol.
They are probably cooked as the Oilers are dialed in this year.
Jason Robertson has been wildly unimpressive. So inconsistent, looks soft, and can’t elevate his play.

Basically looks like how I envision Elias Pettersson would be playing in this series.
