Bright side, loss in conf finals for the oil will create a bigger conundrum. Minor tweek or retool. Loss against the nucks prob would have sent them on a retool and imo a better chance to keep draisaitl. Loss in conf finals or finals. Will just be a minor tweek and until they get a goalie, Will potentially waste the best tandem the NHL has seen in a loong while.

Stars have one weakness, and by weakness, not elite. 5 sounds right, although a sweep would be so poetic. Would really put a damper on McDavid and the goons making the WCF two out of three years if they don’t win an actual WCF game.

So what is the Stars one weakness?

If you can call it that, Oettinger.

First overall.

But Shesterkin, woweee you had no reason to play that leading up to that joke of a play.

Dallas starts the game shot out of a cannon. A few grade A chances only 4 minutes into the game. Edmonton is in storm weathering mode.

 

[Statue4Deano]

Oilers 2 goals on 6 shots. lol

 

[Statue4Deano]

Heiskanen and Harley have been pretty awful as a pairing tonight. Indecisive with and without the puck. Slow to act and react. Oilers have given them fits all game.

 

[Statue4Deano]

Stars tie it and we’re gonna have a hell of a finish to this game.

 

[symbology]

About time McJesus got called for his high stick.

What a save by Oettinger

 

[dneprovec]

Fckuk.
Hyman scored at 1 st minute of 2 OT

 

[pray4mojo]

Damn.... McD... Stars had their chances in that 1st OT. during their PP. Frickin post!

 

[Statue4Deano]

Stars have got to feel awful after letting that game slip through their hands.

Lots of Stars weren’t good enough in Game 1. It almost feels like Game 2 is a must win for Dallas.

Although they went down 0-1 in both previous series, I think you're right-- going down 0-2 at home and hoping to come back again (as they did rd1 against VGK) would really be pushing their luck. Go Stars!

Fiala and Switzerland will play Czechia for Gold medal at World championship .
PLD and Canada will play for bronze vs Kemper and Sweden

Fiala is having a massive tournament. Imagine having a weapon like that in the NHL and putting him into a completely passive offensive system.

Unbelievable.

 

[Statue4Deano]

Stars score on their first shot and it’s been all Oilers since that goal. Edmonton’s defense is smothering the Stars depth.

 

[pray4mojo]

Go Stars... Oettinger really kept them in it., hopefully they get Hintz back soon . Robertson been kind of invisible. Jamie Benn still a beast.

 

[orpheus]

Being able to resume my day now that the Oilers lost.

So much this. Maybe the most skilled player we've had in 20 years -- build around the players if you're not gonna get playars that fill the role you want - they can't all be Kopitar.
