Edmonton Oilers defeat the Dallas Stars, 4-2, advance to SCF

[North Cole]

Crazy, didn't think I'd see the Oilers ever go back, even with McDrai. GG Stars.

Hopefully we get written off again in the finals, teams seems to do just well when everyone says they're just there to get swept.

 

[Dynamite Time]

Wish it would’ve gone to a seven game series but my Stars faltered and Edmonton looks good.

Will Holland get any credit.. he been getting shit on for years.

He will not get a shred of credit.

Yes, the TNT panel already pumping the Panthers tires as the series favorites.

Stars choked that series, they were the favourites to win

Go Florida

My guy i can't respond to my bookmarked thread. But I just wanted to make sure to remind you like you asked that Dallas in 5

I'm sure it's not easy right now. Not sire how old you are but consider it payback from the late 90s. Modano and the boys owned us then

 

[Dan Kelly]

My pick is still alive!

Hope you make a little money?

 

[Praetorian Caps]

It was a great series and both fan bases were good sports throughout it.

We're going to be in for a thrilling SCF!

 

[MessierII]

Feels good. Revenge for 03. Maybe a bit sweeter because we’re playing for the cup.

 

[Dan Kelly]

Well congrats Oilers. Ya'll showed me. Now hopefully ya'll get plowed by the Cats

Not gonna happen !

Dallas Stars fans - Your team is sick, amazing depth, goalie is fantastic, I'd trade my first born son for Jason Robertson in a second. Great series, if it wasn't us I was going to be pulling for you. Same place, same time next year.

20+ years since the Dallas Stars routinely took out the Oilers in the playoffs with a Salary Cap TRIPLE what the Oilers could afford.

This is why WE’VE always DESERVED this. The first FAIR shot we got against these Stars in the playoffs.

Revenge finally served.

As much as it pains me to say it, congrats Oilers. It is so frustrating, as a Canucks fan, to know how close we could have been with a healthy Demko and a #1C who didn't decide that a boo boo on his knee was enough to tank the season. Maybe things could have been different. But I'm happy to see a Canadian team go to the Finals again.

Only team to go 7 with them, so it gives you hope that maybe the Canucks are close and will take things further next year with hopefully a healthy line-up.

I felt that last year with Vegas. So many bounces that went wrong...the whole Petrangelo situation...Nurse getting a suspension for a fight. Its insane how much has to go right to make it in this league. Bright times ahead for the Canucks though.

Every fanbase has those moments. 2003 for Canucks fans, I'm sure 2006 & Roloson going down G1 for Oilers fans, and last year aswell as you say.

West was pretty open this year so it might be another one for us, but full credit to EDM they've earned the trip to the final. When 2 of 3 opponents can't score a PP goal against you in the series.... that's pretty remarkable, then you add the GOAT powerplay.

Really interested to see how this final plays out, I have no idea what to expect. FLA will be their toughest test but Oilers have responded anytime they've been doubted these playoffs.

The Stars played a great series and even better Game 6.

But in the end it was the Oilers superior DEPTH and Goaltending that won this series.

 

[Mez]

I think Edmonton should have touched the Campbell Bowl. They already have the curse of Corey Perry to deal with. I think when you have double jinx they cancel each other out.

We have the canadian curse already....having 3 would reinstate a curse.

"Stars in 4" this site haha dont ever stop

Yeah, it would be nice to see a rematch next year with both teams healthy. This year both teams had key players out or played banged up.

 

[sepHF]

That was the most stressful game I have ever watched. Skinner played amazing… what a goal by McDavid to start things off

Dallas played really well and probably deserved a game 7 but Stu held us in there

 

[Ol' Jase]

All the respect in the world to the Stars and their fans. Crazy fun series.

Wasn't the last "stop talking about the Canucks" mod warning enough for Canucks fans?

Easy the best game of the series by Dallas. Controlled the play for over 40 minutes. Edmonton sat on that lead no doubt
But surprisingly kept the high danger chances to a minimum stilll

Dont overreact to 1 game. Oilers were outshooting their opponents in the majority of their games. This just was 1 off game even though its the most recent one. Its not like this has been their pattern.

I’m rooting for the oilers but it’s hard to see it as they haven’t earned some bad karma for this performance. It’s at least up there with an all time worst performance if the sog are anything to go off of with 17 being the 2nd worst record to clinch.

Congrats oilers fans hope they get it done

 

[NoShowWilly]

congratulations to the oilers. Enjoy the cup final. Have a blast. still hate you guys.
