WCF | GM5 | Edmonton Oilers at Dallas Stars | 7:30PM CT | TNT

Yep. I hate it, but their star talent is at the top of the league, and they've all showed up consistently. They live and die with McDrai.

McDraiBouch

It's a 3 headed monster.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Oilers taking over this series. I love Dallas' depth (not on D), but the Oils are getting it done. Still do not trust Skinner.

 

[11Messier]

more impressive is holding them to 6 shots in half a game

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

I don't know, I think they figured out how to play. This is a constant pattern of outshooting teams and limiting chances. They've been doing this since Vancouver and it's paid off in spades.

Skinner is still in net lol

 

[MessierII]

Thats the main concern with Edmonton, how long can Skinner keep this up? Sooner or later he probably goes back to how bad he was vs LA and early vs Vancouver

Skinner played great vs LA

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

6 SOGs. This is some bozo ass hockey.

Dallas doesn't seem to want to shoot the puck.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

Anybody miss Desharnais?

 

[Matty Sundin]

Injured true but i would still use Georgiev over Skinner lol

Unsure about that, id personally rather Skinner though both can be quite terrifying for their teams. Point was that Avs really didn’t play to their standards for reasons.

I wouldn't like it if my team played Skinner in the pre season

not quite.

We will live and die on where Skinner gets us.

Skinner played great vs LA

I thought he was not very good early in the series, certainly was better later

So you like it?

 

[Kingsfan1]

Edmonton team defense , structure and system is very good and they’re executing it to perfection. The whole team has bought in .

 

[PaulD]

looks like a regular season game now

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

If the Oilers even had average goaltending, they win the Cup.

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

Dallas doesn't seem to want to shoot the puck.

Or hold possession of it/go get it.

 

[SullivanT]

They've had zero injuries. That's what it's all about. Healthiest team wins.

All the years when I talked about Oilers injuries in the playoffs the other teams fans kept telling me it was a skill to stay healthy and prevent getting worn out in the playoffs.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

So you like it?

I identify with their brand.

 

[Hextallent63]

If Dallas can't figure out how to get past Edmonton playing two back in the neutral zone and if they can't figure out Edmonton's perimeter defense they're screwed. It's going to be hard because Edmonton's playing the same way in the dzone as they are in the offensive zone and in the offensive zone there's no one better at it.

 

[DegeN9]

Dallas doesn't seem to want to shoot the puck.

They haven't had many opportunities. Oilers all over them the moment they enter the zone. Oilers are way better defensively than they have gotten credit for.

 

[johnnybbadd]

Deboer too loyal to the likes of Pavelski and Suter. They are playing too many meaningful minutes. Should infuse the team with some younger and faster players next game. He has to do something.

 

[Ezekial]

Or hold possession of it/go get it.

Or not suck ass

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

God doesn’t want teams captained by dirty scum in the Finals.

I don't even notice him

 

[GrumpyKoala]

Skinner played great vs LA

Not really, was ok-ish, sometimes
