"Puck Wars" • WCF Game 6 • Stars @ Oilers • 6.2.2024 • 6:00 MST • SN

[Sergei Shirokov]

Stankoven almost fooled him but not quite, this is definitely Skinner's best game of the playoffs.

 

[GMR]

And this is why you don't take your foot off the gas pedal.

They never had their foot on the gas pedal in this game.

 

[ORRFForever]

Dat shot count doe

It's not over yet. You know what they say in the NFL...

"The only thing the Prevent Defense prevents is winning."

 

[quat]

I dunno what this has to do with anything? Vancouver regularly got early leads then changed tactics and focused on keeping opponents to the outside, exactly what the Oilers are doing. Yet Oilers fans instead constantly whined and called them frauds for having low shot totals.

It is hilarious seeing Oilers fans explaining 8 shots in 50min in light of that.

Stop being so unfair by using actual reasons

 

[Tebowz]

Complete dominance by Dallas. just the better team

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

Man, Skinner isn't supposed to be stopping these shots.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Friendly tip , you have less chance to get scored on if you control the puck!

 

[robertocarlos]

Wyatt Johnston is ridiculously good

Good thing he's not a vet.

 

[Terry Yake]

skinner is absolutely saving the oilers ass right now

 

[bobholly39]

Don't worry - McDavid is going to go score one now. He may even score 2

 

[TimeZone]

Edmonton has looked atrocious offensively, but they've done a great job limiting the Stars high danger chances despite the ice being tilted.

 

[Matty Sundin]

Oilers probably needed that tv timeout. Knob has been good at calming them down when they get panicky which they are right now.

 

[archangel2]

Come on big d. You got only one job

 

[NYI365]

Dallas getting classic Chel'd up 32-10 in shots and losing

 

[Banjo Cat]

They never had their foot on the gas pedal in this game.

Fair point.

 

[Mr Positive]

Well if the Oilers move onto the cup final and expect to win against Florida with this many shots then I don't think they will be very successful.

Its called score effects. But this next level tilted. I don't think Florida has a defense as good as Dallas though. It's what Dallas is all about

 

[fsanford]

Well if the Oilers move onto the cup final and expect to win against Florida with this many shots then I don't think they will be very successful.

They will get smoked with this approach. Florida's D is very good.

 

[Zerotonine]

Dallas is absolutely dominating

Wouldn't say dominating

Controlling the play but no high danger chances

Edmonton better get going or we know what's gonna happen

 

[ruaware41]

oilers sleep walking this entire game after the 2-0. Extremely frustrating and I’m not even an Oilers fan.

 

[ZDH]

Edmonton is playing the NHL version of prevent D with a 1 goal lead.

What could go wrong?

 

[Macheteops]

And this is why you don't take your foot off the gas pedal.

They've been doing it all playoffs. They stop making plays and just dump to the neutral zone for another wave

 

[Sniper99]

No team in hockey wins games with 9 shots. "But Dallas is backed into a corner" so are you!!!! You can go to the f***in finals tonight you dont want game 7. Cut the horse shit

 

[Panthers Propaganda]

If Im an Oiler fan my asshole could slice diamond rn.

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

Stankoven is a real find for Dallas. The guy NEVER stops.

That has ALWAYS been his game.

Blew me away he was drafted as low as he was.

Good ol size>good players during draft day.

 

[BFLO]

Edmonton will be lucky if Dallas doesn’t win this in regulation if they keep playing this way
