GDT: WCF | I | "The Fault In their Stars" | Oilers @ Stars | 5.23.24 | 6:30PM | SN/CBC

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Foegeles hands failing at the end of a play. Never f***in fails.

Dude has serious yips. Needs a sports psych ASAP.

He just has to shoot the puck. He's not McDavid.

 

[McDrai]

Oilers 0
Stars and Refs 0

Pretty good 1st as far as I’m concerned

 

[K1984]

Liked the period overall other than the fact that we pretty much didn’t make the faintest attempt to actually score a goal.

If we aren’t significantly more assertive getting pucks and bodies to the net we just won’t score goals 5v5. It’s as simple as that.

 

[CupofOil]

Skinner looks really dialed in. I thought Foegele was the best Oilers forward in that period, he was good in Game 7 too so hopefully he's gaining traction because the Oilers will need that 3rd line to contribute.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Good road period. Nothing happened so that’s a win

 

[RegDunlop]

Marchments needs a little...
board meeting

 

[McDoused]

Hot take but good road period.

 

[PaPaDee]

Consistency in officiating would be nice

 

[snipes]

Good work on the PK that period.

They played structurally well defensively overall. Need to get more shots on net.

We’ll get a call or two in the second, game management is real.

Decent road period. Come out flying in the second.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Nice strip by Foegele. But he's got to shoot the puck. Better when working on reaction/instinct versus time to think. Doesn't even get a shot on net.

He dekes all the time and loses control .. like just shoot it man ffs

 

[Dakinjor]

how the turn tables. skinner is the only one who showed up in dallas, rest of the team is still in rogers arena

 

[BeanBurrito]

So far the ice has poke checked McDavid and McLovin

 

[Messrules11]

Would’ve been so nice for Foegele to clown Heiskanen there.

 

[Louis Cypher]

His son.

I liked you answered not the answer. Lol. dirty f***er like his dad.

 

[nabob]

Marchment with the blatant stick hold on the corner which gave them the puck and the last second shot. Refs completely ignored it of course.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Marchments needs a little...
board meeting

Carrick needs to say hello.

Meh, Dallas was playing really well defensively. I don't think it was for a lack of trying, Dallas didn't get much either.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Gotta beat Dallas and the Stripes. What else is new.

 

[elmeroil]

I prepared myself for they have to beat the reffs too. Same vs Vegas same vs Avs.

 

[DrDrai]

Nothing burger of a period, I like it for the oilers, Skinner looked good and I didn’t get too bent out of shape.

Like I said earlier, Dallas doesn’t seal the boards in the offensive zone like Vancouver did, it’s allowing us to relieve the pressure by getting it out.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Some good chances both ways

It’s infuriating…. Why do they look scared to shoot?

 

[McTedi]

Well not much offense but good on the defensive side. Good physical hockey but refs suck the life of it as usual.

 

[Kerberos]

Serious question, why hasn't the NHL been investigated for match fixing? Especially with the billions they've been pumping into betting.

Is it because it's irrelevant in the States? What Bettman has done to this league, ensuring certain teams every advantage and arbitrarily changing the rulebook in their favor when convenient, is really hard to stomach. I want to watch sports, not scripted shit.

 

[iCanada]

What the actual f*** was that Holloway penalty? Literally Holloway had a guy skiing on him and he didn't have the puck and he gets the penalty?!

Someone has to explain that to me. What a screw job.
