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

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

I thought the Stars started to take over in OT1 but hey the Oilers killed a double minor and survived, so credit there.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

A fluke performance by Skinner, the goal posts saved him about 25 times tonight. And the Oilers PK has been very lucky, it’s not sustainable.

 

[Mr Positive]

One major takeaway, which emerged last series actually,

The Oilers are a very deep team. Guys like Brown, Holloway, McLeod, Janmark can play

Oh and Henrique is still on his way. They are saying he's back early in the series. So next game or game 3

They can play but they all have hands of stone. Gonna need to bear down against Oettinger.

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

He is the Oilers good luck charm he is batting a 1000 on horrible takes and predictions

 

[Video Nasty]

Someone check on Nathaniel. McDavid’s OT winner might just have sent him to the beach for recovery again.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Am I the only one who felt the depth players were evenly matched and Dallas' depth didn't really shine?

 

[cotillion]

As much as its anathema to my being... I will cheer for the Oilers as the only team left from Canadia.

 

[voxel]

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

This series will give me a heartattack. Teams are too close.

 

[Dust]

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

I think some of the Vancouver fans still watching and rooting against them is cute.

 

[eviohh26]

Weird that the Stars can't win game 1's.

 

[thefutures]

The post is not good goaltending. Fluke win and will be 4-1 stars most likely

 

[LuGBuG]

Well props to the Oilers for winning game 1. I still don’t think they will win the series but with Leon and McDavid you gotta expect them to get at least 1 or 2. If Skinner holds up
Who knows.

 

[SullivanT]

Seguin with a whole pack of Zyn in his mouth

technically if Ekholm didn't hit the crossbar in regulation, Robertson wouldn't even had the opportunity to hit the posts in OT.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Didn't think either team was all that great honestly, poor ice a contributor to that for sure. Dallas 0/5 on the PP you deserve to lose, although credit to the Oiler PK they were and have been good.

Could see how badly the Stars missed Hintz, very little speed and net drive in the middle.

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

the post is good goaltending

Most people I've talked to are rooting for Tanev, not just against Edmonton. He's the last player in the league from the 2011 run and a fan favourite.

 

[nturn06]

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

I have said this many times before.... The losers always whine about refs.... But when the winning team does, it means that something was really fishy.

 

[NugeDraiMoto]

The oilers are a deep team. Not necessarily on the scoresheet, but on the PK, on eating minutes, on blocking shots. People underestimate these things.

 

[Cloned]

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.

I mean the Flames won the division two years ago and the Oilers still owned Tanev even then.

How have I missed you so far this playoffs?

Keep hatin

No way I'm missing watching Oil fans cry about the refs for anything.

Huge breakdown from elite hockey eyes.

They missed it on the broadcast but Foegele also grazed the crossbar at some point I think.
