Where are those so called "Fans" who said we suck after falling behind 3-2 to vancouver....

Calgarypuck lol

It’s only 1 game and I could easily change my mind in the first period of game 2 but Dallas doesn’t look like they are as good a team as Vancouver was in the last round. I thought they brought less energy and weren’t close to being as physical. Maybe their older players are starting to wear down a bit.

Tanev is really overrated..he is good don't get me wrong but the Oils have as good Defense imo as Dallas...Oil players are being disrespected by the media , oilers are a really good team.

This. Tanev is a solid 2nd pair shut down defenseman, but we have made him look pedestrian many times over the years.

 

[Shanahanigans]

In 13 games vs Eichel and Mackinnon, the Tanev-Lindell pair surrendered just 1 5on5 goal vs both of those lines combined. Today, the Mcdavid line put 3 on them.

McD off to the airport... NOT!

 

[Fishy McScales]

And f*** Modano btw!

 

[Pavel10]

Has this league no shame? 4 f***ing periods and they were all saints?

 

[Tanknation]

Congrats Oilers fans! Even with Bettman and the NHL trying to do everything they could for Dallas to win you guys won. Oilers played better and you could tell they wanted it more. Hopefully they can continue playing like this as they will be in the finals if so.

If Dallas is the best the league has to offer. It's in trouble cause the Oilers are about to dog walk em.

Lets not get cocky. Dallas didn't come with their best game tonight and you better be sure that they'll come out strong in Game 2, this is just 1 game and a likely very long series with lots of ebbs and flows.

Seguin really wants to watch some video.

Deep as an ocean they said.

Sorry to doubt you

Thing is Tanev has never been able to give up problems and has been susceptible to our forecheck. He always seems slow to me. Decent, but he definitely has trouble against Oilers. I think he overthinks and tries to overplay, gets caught.

Such a character win.

Skinner was stellar, Hyman willed a goal, RNH was his Selke self, and Leon making his case as a Conn Smythe candidate.

Captain Connor gutted it out after some tough luck all game too.

f***ing love this team

 

[fireantz]

When Stu stopped the breakaway in the first I felt confident it was gonna be a good night!

Bouch ain’t dad. He’s boss

 

[McDeepika]

I'm gonna blame the liquor for me calling out McDavid. I can't be that stupid normally can I?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

God mode Bouchard wow

 

[foshizzle]

WHAT A WIN!!!! MCDAVID AND SKINNER THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY BIRTHDAY AMAZING!!!

Skinner got a new goalie coach after getting pulled in the last series. Anyone noticing a difference?

Happy Birthday!

How many times do the Oilers have to hire a goalie coach to come in and correct what Schwartz is coaching. Just fire his ass

 

[BlackDogg]

That replay of Dallas fans hugging eachother after the post no goal on the OT PP is an instant classic

I'd be in the no hugging zone

 

[McOilers97]

Love the way the boys played tonight. Not getting the win would’ve been a serious injustice. 5v5 play was really good, and had almost no PP opportunity here.

This its one game , the oil can beat Dallas but they will need to keep the full 100% effort from all lines. Dallas will be better game 2

 

[bellagiobob]

Such a well deserved win. Great gameplan by Knobs. Quick breakout, aggressive forecheck, really kept the Stars hemmed in to their zone for good parts of the game. Again played to Skinner's strengths, didn’t have to move laterally much tonight, which is key. All four lines were responsible, D pairs for the most part kept it simple.

The whole hockey world is talking about him being injured but I’m sure you know better lmao. Time to start blocking people.
