Detroit (95/97)

Yes. That was the one I was forgetting. Thanks.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Try being a Vancouver AND an Oiler fan.

Vancouver fans have gotten better in the last decade, but still bad lol.

I hate both fan bases and I'm part of them lol.

Sure you are.

 

[11Messier]

Oilers stopped forecheck again in the third not good

yup.... I don't like the way they are playing. They started right but are now trying to defend. Never learn

 

[johnnybbadd]

Petrovic is not an NHL dman. Seems like Dallas’ play has suffered ever since he came into the lineup.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Edmonton lost the Finals to the Isles in '83, then won the next year. So yes.

NJ lost the Finals in '01 then won in '03 (I said a year or two), so yes.

Thanks for forcing me to look it up nerd.

Everybody testing an old man's memory tonight. Jeez.

Well if the old man keeps saying dumb things...

 

[SullivanT]

Imagine if Dallas played like this at the start of the game

Oilers stopped forechecking they are playing defensive hockey instead of the multiple man aggressive forechekc they played all game. Letting Dallas leave their zone and get setup.

 

[LurkerMcgee]

Matt Duchene should pray more and then he might score or do anything with his career

 

[TheBeard]

Stars choked Game 4 and haven't recovered. Vegas players and Colorado players are sitting at home watching the game shaking their heads.

I've seen so many people say this as if Vegas or Colorado wouldn't have done the exact same thing.

Maybe, JUST maybe, Edmonton deserves a little bit of credit???

No, that can't be allowed.

 

[Matty Sundin]

It's weird. He's always been good at making the tough saves, yet struggles with letting in too many easy ones. Dallas should just be shooting everything at him instead of giving him opportunities to make the elite stops.

He can sometimes be the eqvilent of a forward who gets streaky. Thing is, Skinner is only 25 and really not even in his prime yet for most goalies.

 

[SullivanT]

yup.... I don't like the way they are playing. They started right but are now trying to defend. Never learn

Yea they have proved multiple times this doesn't work for them. They send one guy in on forechekc that just sits back like he's playing 1 3 1

 

[Idiot Stick]

Maybe, JUST maybe, Edmonton deserves a little bit of credit???

No, that can't be allowed.

Honestly impressive how they may get skinner two shutouts

No, that can't be allowed.

The 81 Isles would own all of these teams, with real lumber, of course.

Hasn't been on the ice for a goal but sure, it's all his fault

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Petrovic is not an NHL dman. Seems like Dallas’ play has suffered ever since he came into the lineup.

His only memorable play in the NHL was getting beat up by evander kane 3 times in 1 game.

No doubt they do. My Critique of the Oil is their bad defense, suspect goaltending and lack of depth, but all three are performing well in this game

I think Dallas is better.. I think this is far from over.

But in this series and the Nucks series.. I keep reading they look tired.

Oilers seen to exhausting to play against.

 

[lextune]

Well if the old man keeps saying dumb things...

Everything I said was right.

And lastly, another poster reminded me of the one I was indeed forgetting, Detroit 95/97.

So you can go sit back down.

Gotta give him credit. Out of the 15 shots, 10 were high danger I imagine.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Stars scoring as well as I do.

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

nhl goaltender Stuart skinner

 

[Gnome17]

Skinner very solid.

 

[logan5]

Skinner has the SHUTOUT in the bag.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Skinner had made some huge saves. Difficult saves. At the start of year Dallas would be at 6 by this point.

Just a real strong game by him
