"As long as Mr. Stu can make big timely saves and they can get scoring from everywhere in the line up"

I don't think he realizes how big of an ask that is lol.

Those are inherent weaknesses of this roster and exactly why they aren't the better team.

Edmonton has the better top players. Dallas had the better hockey team. Let's not confuse those things.

Oil getting desperate:

@TSNRyanRishaug
My sense is we see Broberg tonight. Could be 11-7 or either 5 or 73 come out. Knoblauch has made some bold decisions these playoffs, this would be another one.

"bold"

Doesn't sound like it.

@FriedgeHNIC
Broberg politely declines to say if he’s in, but he was off-ice early and Desharnais is out late.

[CedarMeter]

They don't have the balls to sit him. As bad as he's been there's nobody better below him.

[memphusk]

Desharnais is a pylon.

[Toonage]

Sounds like Perry is back in. My guess is they plan on gooning it up with Hintz to get Robertson back off his game.

That would be nice, but I'm hoping for an ot elimination goal where Draisaitle does his best Neil impression and McDavid is hanging out by the opposing blue line waiting for a breakout. Then McCaptain skates slowly towards skinner while flamboyantly cursing him out. Meanwhile Nurse is laying down behind the goal line looking dumbfounded. Let it be so.

Dallas needs to learn from the Vancouver series and bury these bums. Get a few goals early.

Edmonton seems to answer right back when they get scored on first. If you get a couple goal lead on them, doubt will creep in, and go for the kill on Skinner.

Putting Perry out against the Dallas top line would be great news for the Stars.

See this happened last series, we want game 7 OT crap and no we have Edmonton in the WCF.

We don't need any OT. Crushing 5-0 wins for the Stars the next 2 games.

I'm just hoping people don't get all crazy again if the Oilers go up by a couple and declare them cup champions.

No. Probably an extra d-man to give them more options if Nurse and Ceci start to soil themselves.

It was weird in the first period in a 1-1 series.

It would be stranger with the coil down 2-1, but I wouldn't put it past some of the turn cloaks that evidently reside here.

It would be nice to see a game where they are buried early/often and don't get a sniff. Especially when every one is expecting a response.

Every time VAN took a lead they took their foot off the gas the next game and let them back in it. Makes me question Tocchet as a playoff coach.

Update:

@FriedgeHNIC
Peter DeBoer says Dallas has one change:

Radek Faksa for Craig Smith
