I'm starting to have a huge problem with Stars Fans being such a likeable and agreeable bunch.

STOP MAKING US LIKE YOU!!!

Oilers have had numerous instances of curtailing the opposing teams offence when holding a lead in the later parts of the game during this run. I don't think they've received enough credit for this part of their run

 

[Coffey]

Something something Oilers can't handle the Stars depth.

The Oilers have 9 players with goals in this series, Stars have 7.

Oilers have 5 players with 17-28 points.
Dallas has 5 players with 12-16 points.

DEPTH

Mind you, they have a much more structured system with incredible defense and goaltending.

I like their rave bracelets.

 

[Coffey]

And the ghouls have shuffled back to their graves.

I wish HF had more Stars fans.

 

[syz]

Janmark's shortie is the only special teams goal for either team through 4 games...

 

[ohcomeonref]

The Oilers have more shorthanded goals than PP goals in this series...

If the Oilers PP ever gets going they're gonna be a force.

Story of my life too.

 

[Senor Catface]

Well, like I said at the start of the series, you can blame the [redacted] for them leaving.

 

[Coffey]

Bouchard has a league leading +15

Well, like I said at the start of the series, you can blame the [redacted] for them leaving.

Oh I know.

Miro with a -2 today.

Edmonton was the best team in the league for 3/4 of the season why are people surprised they are going deep??

People on here don't like to acknowledge that though.

Stars in 4

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

how is this series tied? everyone told me Stars in 4, maybe 5

 

[Bank Shot]

PP merchanting.....

TO BE FAAAAIIIIIIIIIR

It was fans of teams that hate us with all their being. And the Leafs for some reason. Some f***ing reason.

 

[scliff]

Dallas in 5

 

[nerevarine]

As someone who watched every col-dallas game, this series is really showing how much better mcdavid/draisaitl/bouchard are than mackinnon/rantanan/makar. Its night and day.

 

[T REX]

The guy is such a warrior, you have to think it’s not good.

Yup. Classy post. Thanks. Great game BTW. The urgency was there.

So were the Stars overrated or were the Oilers underrated?

lol and leaf’s is right. JFC, we’re not even in the same conference. They really need to let the McDavid draft go, it’s been how long now? And he’s done nothing but build a hall of fame career in edmonton. Time to let it go and be happy for the Toronto native.

Pens too.

I guess they want 87 and 71 to rule the NHL forever. Weird.
I'm not going to hate the Hawks if Bedard takes over as the NHL goat.

 

[chaser17]

Man did this game ever take a wrong turn for Dallas, went from being up 2-0 to down 4-2 then a massive injury to Tanev. Knowing him it must be bad if he wasn't able to keep going...

Yeh the hate from Pens land is weird too. I guess oilers fans did have some heated debates when McDavid started taking over. Maybe it’s from that.

 

[TheNumber4]

Back on topic. I think the Stars struggled tonight with the speed of the Oilers. And were surprised by the solidness of our defensive coverage. Deboer will have to go back to drawing board for game 5.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

So were the Stars overrated or were the Oilers underrated?

Dallas beat two excellent teams to get here, so I don’t think they were overrated.

Edmonton just so happens to be an excellent team too. Should they be better than they are? Maybe. Do they have holes? Absolutely. But they’re still very, very good.
