If Dallas fades against this worse Oilers team then we'll know something sketchy is going on. I guess Vegas was iffy in round one so the signs were there they might wilt (still disappointing given their recent accolades). Dallas actually looks legit and added a beast in Rantanen.

But with how teams have rolled over last year and this year you'd almost think they were paid off to throw the series.

At least it took some fortune to get past Dallas last year with that game where Edmonton got a lead on a McDavid dive then Dallas shelled them the rest of the game outshooting them 40 to 10 or whatever it was only for the Stink to hang on.

This version of the Stars looks like it should be less beat up than that one.
