WCF: Edmonton Oilers (P3) vs Dallas Stars (C2) - Oilers win 4-1

[midniteowl]

Playing at home in the Conference effing final and let Oilers walk all over you, Stars, you should be ashamed.

[Chi-Town Hustler]

Deboer begging for a goal that he can look down at his screen for a review.

[3rd liner]

My casual oilers fan father in law just called to see if we were watching the game, rubbing it in now that it’s 3-1. **** off. He knows my kids have been trained to hate the oilers so asks them at every chance if they are cheering for them. ‘But they are Canadian!’

But, but ... we are following Dallas strategy to build our team!!

They are always a cup favorite!

No, they are absolutely pathetic. They match up well against the Avs and have great goaltending. That is it.

They are not a contender.

Might be the biggest mystery in modern day sports.

Why do teams that look relatively competent and dialed in just evaporate as soon as they face the Oilers? And not only that, but they go out quietly with no pushback or emotion?

E-f-f-i-n-g baffling.

You can't tell me that's a team playing to win. That's a group of guys running out the clock.

Yup let’s stock up on pedestrian centers like Roope Huntz or old man Duchene. What a great model. Should be the toilet model.

[midniteowl]

Let's see how good a coach DeBoer is, if he can wake his team the eff up.

That’s have never looked that part. I find it interesting people keep saying that. If you watch any of their playoff games they do not deserve to be here and o ce they faced a team that could finish would beat their ass.

The stars are pedestrian team with zero fight. Gutless unless Benn can hide behind a red and sucker punch or jab people in the eye with his stick.

[Chi-Town Hustler]

Two best players in the world. Tired of that narrative.


I suggest that MacKinnon is the better overall player.

I guess I'm wrong though.

[NewFan]

Yes, Pronger is correct, just don't let oilers skate with the puck, just hit and stop them whenever available.

K, anybody else but Paulie want to weigh in. I'm not interested in reading yet another post of 500 you've already posted about how you've foreseen everything. Just stop bro. Enough.

It’s another mystery how oilers are doing this again. I haven’t watched a full pigs game since round 1 because it makes me irrationally unpleasant around the house. Last year it was the record breaking penalty kill.
This year it’s somehow contributions from most of their s***y roster not named mcdavid or draisaitl. And a defence core somehow playing defense and shutting down the eichels and byfields It’s so g*ddamn irritating how this is happening again. Another spring of avoiding playoff hockey. ****.
This game is a wash. Just need a game plan for game 2 that Cassidy couldn’t figure out last series .

Just remember. Paulie Walnuts was eternally betrayed.

I like to remind them that for a time they sucked so bad the NHL changed the way we draft because of how they ruined it

[dissentowner]

I just got home, turned th tv on and Miro scores. Let's fn go!

[midniteowl]

I just don't understand, Cassidy is considered a pretty good coach, don't know how good DeBoer is but should be better than Knob. Neither could not put together a game plan to out coach Knob?
