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

Bouchard is a problem for the rest of the league. All I heard all season on here was how much this guy sucked, lotta ppl gonna be eating crow by the end of the playoffs

 

[OddManRush]

Dallas is in trouble if they can’t take the Ws that the league is trying to gift them

 

[Three On Zero]

Seems like a lot of people agree with me. Have a good night!!!

Seems like a lot of people agree on both sides

 

[syz]

It's pretty funny how the teams basically scored the exact same 2 goals before OT.

 

[FDBluth]

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

Very strong first road team game. They looked slightly more dangerous and more likely to end it all game. And Skinner looked very good too.

 

[Benneguin]

Its weird seeing Bissonnette with all but 22 career points with Gretzky who averaged about 22 points a week in his career.

 

[Frank Drebin]

How are the Oilers paying both Draisaitl and Bouchard next summer?

Worry about that then

 

[Senor Catface]

Seems like a lot of people agree on both sides

tldr

 

[Zerotonine]

But the on-ice call was No-Goal


Why did the Ref immediately waive off the goal?

He waived off a poten high stick on the boards by hyman that went to Bouchard before his pass to mcdavid.

That's also what the review was about people

 

[robertocarlos]

Redemption!

Red Dead?

 

[dhfa]

That's why they play the games. I thought Dallas was going to win it in 4 or 5, but glad to see the Oilers get game 1.

 

[ManofSteel55]

First period was kinda boring but things got interesting afterwards

I loved wvery second of it. I like the tight checking Oilers game, and I didn't even mind when Dallas was in control early.

 

[Anemia]

Great example tonight of why a Canadian team never wins the cup. And yes, I am aware who won.

 

[JKG33]

Dallas is in trouble if they can’t take the Ws that the league is trying to gift them

Oh the irony

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

story of the whole OT was mcdavid. Might awaken the beast

 

[Three On Zero]

But the on-ice call was No-Goal


Why did the Ref immediately waive off the goal?

The on ice call was a goal

It looks like the Stars strategy was to camp at the Oilers blue line.... The rumour that they are scouting the Beer leagues is true, but not for talent, they are stealing cherry picking tactics

 

[MessierII]

Pretty much. If we had lost this game I'd feel the same

Game 1 is important but really does have a feeling out vibe

The thing with the playoffs is the next game is always more important. First game always feels the least important because of that.

 

[JKG33]

Oilers fans complaining about reffing would be hilarious if it weren't so disgustingly wrong

 

[Coffey]

Great character game for the Oilers.
Overcoming a 4min PP, a Kulak dumbass move and a McDavid flub. Huge character game.

 

[BB79]

Red Dead?

Where's Arthur Morgan?

 

[TheBeard]

Dallas is in trouble if they can’t take the Ws that the league is trying to gift them

I could create 32 narratives about why the "league is trying to gift them".

 

[robertocarlos]

Fantastic road game by the Oilers minus the Kulak moment

Skinner was left face down on his fabulous mustache.

 

[Rowlet]

Conroy should’ve realized he was weakening the Stars against the Oilers. The Oilers own Tanev.

That's not really saying much, the Oilers have been a good team for a while, the Flames and Canucks have been bad. Statistically that's what happens.

 

[Coffey]

It looks like the Stars strategy was to camp at the Oilers blue line.... The rumour that they are scouting the Beer leagues is true, but not for talent, they are stealing cherry picking tactics

That’s what I saw too!!
