WCF | GM1 | Edmonton Oilers at Dallas Stars | 7:30PM CT | TNT

hopefully Dallas can avoid dropping the first two before they get there.

lol Yea, let's see if Edmonton can win two straight in Dallas

Go Stars Go - cheering for my boy Tanev. We miss ya

Strongest road team in the league all season, and it looks to have continued through the playoffs so far. Edmonton's barn presents another very loud challenge, so hopefully Dallas can avoid dropping the first two before they get there.

If they can split or - and I'm not expecting this - win the first two in Dallas, I'll feel a lot better about those road games.

I expect a split, both of these teams respond pretty well to losses, so I don't think we will see a 2-0 for anyone headed back to EDM. I'm very worried about game three though, our game 3 vs Van was a debacle of failed goaltending and general sloppiness. Going to get wrecked if they show up at home like that against this DAL team.

Im already having PTSD flashbacks to the early 2000’s

Vegas managed to pull it off.......it's not impossible.

That said, still a tall order for Edmonton.

Indeed.

Why? Pickard wasn’t bad in his two games last series

I was surprised they went back to skinner after he played a pretty damn good game 6 (or maybe 5, forget).

 

[snag]

no offence.....but what a hideous start to a GDT

If you have a chance to go down, might as well go down with your #1

Feels like the Stars will come out slow tonight after the long rest, dig themselves a hole, then become the better team in the 3rd period but come up short, as per usual in game 1's (except the Colorado series where we just blew a 3 goal lead).

[Mr Kot]

Ekholm - Bouchard
Nurse - Desharnais
Kulak - Ceci

Skinner

AI jam of the GDT:









​

I think I just went blind.

JWB, WDI fellas

LA Kings and Canucks were no good and the Avalanche (3.36 GA) were on another level. Let it be heard.

Should be a fun time!

Whole notha level

Getting your narratives crossed up. If the Oilers beat Dallas in less than 7 there will be a reckoning about how good Vancouver was (with its 3rd string goalie. Who is being overrated)


Let's see if the Oilers can have a lead in a series for the first time since round 1.

Oh hey brookbank

How deluded do you have to be to think leading a series matters instead of just winning the series…

Dallas lost Game 1 in both series prior to this one.....if they lose tonight I can't say I'd be too worried.

Go Overtime!

People in Edmonton are sweating bullets after Hrudey commented on the local radio station that fans should be prepared to see Pickard more than once this series...

Enjoy the ride Oilers & Stars, our house likes both organizations, players, and such. So either team making SCF's is cool-beans, but it kinda stinks when series doesn't have Good -vs- Bad environment going on.

We've got two teams, Stars and Oilers, who've been knocking on 'Stanley Cups" door lately. Now both have another opportunity before window maybe closing up. Should make for an interesting series where players are giving it their all. Oilers should have little playoff confidence mojo under their wings after reaching 2 WCF's in 3 yrs, now they've got to finish the deal. Same with Stars, this group has made SCF's and now WCF's lately, now it's their moment too. Guessing this could make for a good series indeeed. Plus, we fans should habe a more compeditve match-up considering both teams have decent having depth. Hope so, these first two NHL playoff rounds have been aweful. Here's to a hard fought, everyone healthy, and a series where players decide outcomes.

Again, enjoy ride Stars & Oilers fans....

Yea man, we all follow Hrudey religiously here. The biggest Flames homer on television.

I imagine most Oiler fans turned it off when Hrudey came on lol. One of the least liked media personalities in this market for sure.

sweet fancy moses

THE ENTIRE CITY STARTED SWEATING BULLETS PROFUSELY WHEN THOSE WORDS CAME OUT OF HIS MOUTH, SPAWN

Did they close the Canucks Oilers series thread? Or are we still hanging on?

Speaking of hanging on.....could you imagine if Big Z didn't block that shot in the 3rd......oh how things could have been different.

You could actually be spending time in your own teams GDT today.

Shame it didn't work out for you.

Dallas just deserves it more

We deserve it

Nice, you got him with the What If's. That's brookbank's signature move.

I'd love it if the Stars players go into the game with this attitude

This is the Mr. Kot post that I expected.

 

[oconnor9sean]

Not gonna lie, I completely forgot that Edmonton somehow is equally as awful in game 1s as we are, and it gave me a little boost of energy

I think most Oiler fans that post on the mains are pretty degenerate internet dweebs that don't take themselves too seriously.

Or at least I'd hope!

Hi Drunk, I'm worried.
