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

Knoblauch's strategy of "just play all of our top players for 30 minutes a game" somehow continues to pay off.

Bouchard has been their best player.

And yet the minutes were spread much more evenly for Oilers defence than Dallas and top forwards on both teams played similar minutes.

Maybe it's time for Vancouver fans to realize that it's okay to admit that the Oilers are a pretty decent team.

For those who do not like the oilers--a song for you

Didn’t he ditch that strategy after game 3 last series? Seemed like McDrai TOI has been down significantly since then

 

[Muffin]

Just wanted to check back in with you, are you still on our bandwagon for this series? or is it proving difficult for you
Would love to have you on!

On the bandwagon for this series but surely I'll be cheering for the East next series lol.

I was told that the Oilers were a bad team and not capable of competing with Dallas. Looked pretty good to me tonight even with a 1-5 PP disadvantage.

Dallas gifted a goal thanks to Kulak and a lucky bounce. Skinner needs to keep up this level of play. Shame McDavid is injured but at least he redeemed himself after the 1st OT whiff.

It was a double OT game. McDavid played like 4 mins in the first period and is clearly injured.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Refs all took note from that series. That's why Oilers only got 1 PP tonight. Refs are onto their tactics. McDavid was in total disbelief he was actually getting a high sticking call.

imagine getting a 5-1 PP advantage and not winning

Why post when you didn’t watch?

 

[sepHF]

Skinner with a great performance tonight!!! Gotta give him props after all the heat he’s taken


This was probably his best game all playoffs, he made some huge saves

Fair enough, well take what we can get haha.

 

[syz]

The only guy who I thought had a really bad game tonight was Glass Bang Guy. Otherwise a real close game.

Just think about that 4-0 sweep in the regular season and it will all be okay my friend

 

[lakai17]

Honestly I feel like that was a very even game. Could have gone either way, and I don't think either team played their best games tonight.

I was more so concerned on Oettinger but I'm thinking Edmonton can solve him this series fortunately.

I got a face tat that says 4-0 sweep. Division champs 2023-24

Lol. You must still be in a state of shock from when Foegele dropped Zadorov with that career ending cross check.

 

[GirardIsStupid]

Impressive road win by Oilers, and their goalie played well. McDavid fought through some tough moments, that could've made things go south, but then he came through. Fighting through "It" are qualities that can help any player/team win "Cup". Now Stars have most of pressure in game 2, we'll see how they handle that.

They handle pressure fine. Do they have anything left in the tank though?

Get a #letsgopetey across the forehead

 

[Matty Sundin]

if we’re talking ice time why not mention pavelski was 2nd to Johnston in ice time for Dallas despite looking like he needed an oxygen tank the entire game.

 

[Captain Controversy]

Mcdavid needs some more rest.

 

[eviohh26]

Nah that one is going below the belt.

 

[Coffey]

Also good game, Stars fans.
Should be a pretty even series if both teams play this way.

McDavid played 30 seconds more than the the Stars leading forward in TOI. It was a double OT game lol. Vancouver fans have had this desperate hope that McDavid and Draisaitl are just gas at some point as if they haven't been playing 20+ minutes a night for their entire careers.

That, or just go away

 

[BurnabyJoe7]

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.

Canada is primarily against them

I try to avoid this place during the playoffs because its mostly trolling and flaming but its posts like these that keep me coming back. Will always put a smile on my face that the oilers can ruin a rival fan's night. Hope you lads enjoyed the game tonight.

Divers don't get the benefit of the doubt.

 

[TheNumber4]

Stuuuuuuuuuuuu

What a f***in game by him tonight. Time to get behind this stud and support him oil country.

Put your ego aside. No one actually cares if you are right or wrong about a guy. This is our Cup chance, and Stu deserves the entire support of Oil Country if you want to see it happen.

Bettman didn’t stab Duchene in the face.

Maybe bettman was holding mcdavids stick.
