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

[rams]

Heck of a game, hope the rest of the series is this good.

 

[MessierII]

1 game is 1 game. If we get the next one I’ll get excited.

 

[Skolman]

The "Oiler haters" were basically wrong about absolutely everything tonight.

You love to see it

 

[Nemesis Prime]

RNH doesn't get the respect he deserves

 

[Senor Catface]

Canada is primarily against them

No one f***ing cares.

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

The team that had a long break always at a disadvantage in game 1 against the team that went to 7. Boston vs Florida was the same

When will you people learn?

and people still said dallas in 4 knowing all that already. That’s Overhyped

 

[ManofSteel55]

What an awesome game. If the rest of this series us as entertaining as this game...well we will have a great series.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

They gotta review every zone entry and every inch of ice before they can call it

But the on-ice call was No-Goal


Why did the Ref immediately waive off the goal?

The team that had a long break always at a disadvantage in game 1 against the team that went to 7. Boston vs Florida was the same

When will you people learn?

The two most important rules of HFboards:

1. No learning
2. No hugging

 

[Terry Yake]

stars have the oilers right where they want them

 

[LTIR]

Condolences to Stars fans though, your team didn't come out and dominate the Oilers in game 1 so you get to see half the fanbases here talk about how your team is frauds or whatever for a couple days (until you inevitably win game 2 and then we can get back to talking about how the Oilers suck.)

But on the bright side..Oilers fans get 2 days off from all the 'Oilers suck' talk (hopefully)

 

[Matty Sundin]

Oilers getting at least a split before going to Edmonton is huge. The stars depth isn’t gonna be a factor if their aging veterans look like old men there. Pavs and Benn looked like they belong in an old timers charity game tonight

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

f***ing gross….

 

[Cup or Bust]

Really good game by both teams and a big win for the Oilers.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Great game, looks like it could be a long one.

Well, that was quick.

If the Oilers can play with that kind of D, they will be in good shape to take this series. I imagine this going to 7.

 

[Ezekial]

and people still said dallas in 4 knowing all that already. That’s Overhyped

Who gives a f*** what people say

 

[NyQuil]

...and he took that personally.

 

[Ghost of Murph]

EDM going to be tough to beat rest of the way if its PK keeps doing great and Skinner can play at or near the level he did tonight.

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

What’s the narrative for oilers haters tonight… no power plays…. Nothing

Skinner forgot how to Skinner.

Edit: just to clarify, I'm rooting for Oilers and this is sarcasm.

 

[Dirty Dan]

Avs didn't play very well. That would be a good reason .

They have no depth at all either , Nichuskin was probably their best finisher in front of the net

 

[SullivanT]

Not bad for a bunch of "pp merchants"

 

[LordBacon]

Well color me impressed.
Bouchard is one hell of a player.

 

[syz]

But on the bright side..Oilers fans get 2 days off from all the 'Oilers suck' talk (hopefully)

No that's built into downplaying the Stars. They suck because they couldn't sweep the Oilers, who suck.

 

[T REX]

gretz may have some cte going on...yikes

 

[Tanknation]

Oilers deserved that win. They were the better team throughout the game. Nicely done.
