A ref managed game but still got the win. They Oilers are terrifying to watch when they are in their own end.

You should have a Jones Soda, in honor of Jones
That almost felt like it was destined to fall apart and go to overtime. Seems the Fragile February bunch isn't entirely vanquished yet even if the managed to pull out the win, and someone make Drai practice shooting at empty nets for f***s sake 
This team needs Ekholm back in a hurry though. Nurse out there in the final minute after a game of bad passes, poor defensive decisions, and weak stick plays. He can't be the option they have to go with when defending the lead.

Ott was FAR worse. Stars win this game without Ott being a dunce on several plays. Not too impressed with this game overall or Skinner "playing the puck" behind his net with 2mins left.
Skinner is what he is, a complete dope. Take the W.
Draisaitl has a higher % of scoring with a goaltender in the net!
I'm not one to complain about reffing usually. But it's amazing how many times a Dallas player reaches in with a free hand or stick and then quickly throws their hand in the air after being like "no I definitely didn't just hold/hook"
Interesting time on ice for the defensemen. Nurse with almost 28 minutes. Walman with almost 25. Kulak with 22 minutes (!). Bouchard with 18. Emberson with just under 15. And Stetcher with 12.
Surprised with how many minutes Nurse played and with how few Bouchard played. I think he's usually over 20. When Ekholm gets back, they'll have to balance those minutes out more.

Its going to be a commercial where the players try to hit the most posts in an empty net without scoring.That almost felt like it was destined to fall apart and go to overtime.

Spoiler: The Oilers win the contest.

The 4th line got pretty run over tonight. Kapanen just isn’t a good center no matter what the org says.

Still might not be enough the way we cough up the puck and turn into the keystone cops in our end.You know what if we score 5 goals a game in the playoffs I like our chances

Walman is a hooper, feel good about our top 4 if he keeps playing like this, mesh together a serviceable bottom pairing with Kulak and friends and I think our D core is solid.
still the biggest question mark all throughout the rest of the season and playoffs will be goaltending, net minding, and tending-the-goal

Walman was good tonight and making some plays but he also handed the Stars a puck right in front of net at 5-4.
Guy sure has some talent but I think he'll be like Booch making some other plays too.
Jones had decent game. Brown decided to show up for the season. Nice of him. Even Arvid was spotted tonight.
Well this is your team fellas. Lots of butt clenching and no goaltending ahead. 5 goals to W.

Kap's time here is likely getting close to its end. I don't see how he makes the lineup when Frederic comes back, let alone when Kane does.
Put Kap on waivers, bring up Philp. Then figure out what bottom 6 combo works best.

Special teams staff needs to swallow their pride and change it up.
PK system makes no sense for the personnel that this team has. This team feels like it should prioritize not allowing cross seam passes, not running a system that allows them more frequently. What am I missing?

Agreed, people will complain about Skinner but defensively there is a lot of problems. But team looked better and really shouldn't have been as close as it was.
