We really underestimated the Oilers
Some of us saw how good they would be this year.

Really hoping they beat Florida. The true dirtiest team. Trouba is the best at throwing elbow checks in the league. But Florida is happy to sucker punch and hit from behind at every opportunity.

Hintz has been back the last 2 games, Stars are still losing so that can’t be their excuse

Dallas’ vaunted depth is a lot of older guys (Benn, Seguin, Pavs, Dutchy, Suter, now broken Tanev, Dadonov, Smith) who largely look gassed now after going 7 and then 2OT game 6 and pile of younger guys (Stankoven, Johnston, Harley) who need more experience and it’s showing against a prime aged Oilers.

Their only real prime age players are Miro and Otter (who have largely been fantastic all playoffs), Hintz who has been battling injury, Lindell who is still the wrong side of 30, a streaky Robo and some 4th liners. When it works they look like world beaters but it’s such a strange mix that when it doesn’t it gets exposed hard like the last couple of games
