GDT: WCF | II | "They Have Faults, Ref" | Oilers @ Stars | 5.25.24 | 6:00PM | SN/CBC

[GrumpyKoala]

1 to 0 with a competent goalie

Switch then and it's 4-0

 

[RegDunlop]

What a zoom in to Evander Kane yelling "f***"

I hope someone captured that!!

 

[belair]

McLeod is kind of a dud. Bro legitimately only plays in the league because he can wheel pretty decently

He's stronger on the wing. In the middle, he's not always moving in the right direction when he's getting that initial outlet pass. Not smart enough to move it to safety.

 

[Cloned]

Can’t believe we’re talking about the Oilers dominating a period in the WCF.

Team has come a long way.

 

[BeanBurrito]

Kane has come close on multiple occasions.. I think he scores tonight

Brown has a jump tonight as well..

McLovin seems to have found his legs a bit too

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Skinner needs to make that first stop, but then he made a few he had no business making, so he's even in my books. Can't ask for much more out of our team though.

On the road, against a better on paper team with them on their heels not to go down 2-0, especially at home.

Shots were heavily in our favour. Keep this up, Oil.

Me too
Said to my family here (nobody listens to me anyway) that Kanes all over it. Usually means he's getting one.

 

[TheNumber4]

Love Knobs belief in Brown. He’s been playing well. He was going to break through soon.

 

[Oilslick941611]

McLovin seems to have found his legs a bit too

Foegele plays the right way. I wouldn't take him out of the lineup.

 

[Cloned]

Bowness needs to be on the panel full time.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

McLeod and Ceci were the best Stars that period.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Dallas is so much slower and less aggressive than the Canucks and even the kings.

He did make a couple of absolutely beauty saves of Sequin after letting in the first one. Sucks that Benn put the first one in a perfect spot. If Nuge or McDavid score that no one here is saying it’s a weak goal. Just sucks that it was the first shot.

 

[Vagabond]

First time I've said this all playoffs. The 3rd line looked good tonight.

 

[MoontoScott]

Me too

He and Nuge have elevated their games in the last 5 matches and I think that's why the Oilers are in the final 4.

Goal from Kane tonight would be sweet.

 

[snipes]

Stars really are struggling with our forecheck.

We’re a big and fast team need to keep playing that dump and chase that we started heavily using in game 6 and 7 against the Canucks. They’ve carried it over and it’s a winning formula for them.

 

[fresh meat]

Kulak made the worst play there with 30 seconds left. Just a dumb lazy pass back into the slot that none of his teammates expected. Pure chaos after that, including Ceci just tripping over his own feet and falling into the boards.

He was probably exhausted from covering Ceci’s gaffes all period long

I wouldn’t call it a must save. It was a 2 on 1, Benn shooting with unlimited time and space.

But it’s another one of those where you’d like a save. That said, he came up with big saves later. Let’s see how the complete game looks before passing judgements on goaltendign.

True. It's a hard job covering for Cody Coffey

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Lmao

Bolo lookalike

Yeh. And we’re just a touch faster all over the ice. Which is giving them trouble too.

 

[AlbOilFAN]

Great period for Oil

 

[nabob]

Friedman is such a f***ing clown.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Lobbying for a penalty.. right elliotte

 

[Oilslick941611]

Eliotte is so dumb. How does lobbying get you a high sticking call? It's an automatic penalty.
