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

[Flamesfan05]

Whatever, the Stars star forwards need to wake up.
The Oilers defense and sloppy goaltending is not that hard to solve

[chummer]

Oilers have been the better team in 5 of the 6 periods, all while doing it on the road.

Sure is looking like a Cats-Oil re-match in the Finals.

No idea if this is the case here.

Of course, but this is Skinner we are talking about here. He looked like a fish out of water on a few occasions. Stars are just not finishing.

To me it seems they get out skated. Is it a conditioning issue? Or were the two series against Colorado and Winnipeg that heavy.

Either way, they need to find a way to get a split in Edmonton.

[Inferno]

A missed shot can because the goalie didn't give much to shoot at. It can also be because the shooter just didn't get a proper shot off. It's not one or the other 100% of the time.

[Inferno]

2022 Ottinger coming back would be nice too. He's letting in goals he was finding a way to stop back then.

After two games.

Corsi For: 120-116 Dallas
Fenwick For: 85-85
Shots For: 52-52
Scoring Chances: 59-58 Edmonton
High Danger: 24-24
Shooting Percentage: 11.54% - 11.54%
Save Percentage: .885 - .885
Goals: 6-6

All this "Dallas has been outplayed all series" talk is nonsense.

I don't think a series can be as close as this one has been after two games. Pretty much every single metric is a wash.

Does this include all situations or 5v5. Because Dallas has been dummied 5v5.

They better hope Skinner turns into Blackwood.

I’ve already booked my escape into the Amazon for June 7th. Thanks a lot Dallas.

Good on him for calling out the double standards of reffing.

Not like the league will do anything about it, though.

Knoblauch on DeBoer's comments:

"I haven't seen Connor get that special treatment..[he's] drawn 5 power plays [while Dallas has] had 5 players with just as many or more power plays drawn..which I find hard to believe..I think the standard is actually against him"


What an idiot. McDavid grabbing sticks and falling down isn’t the same as Hintz potentially breaking his foot/ankle on a slash

[Tbull8]

It’s being reported that Nurse will not have a hearing or call from Player Safety. No further discipline

That is good news tho. Everytime Nurse is suspended the Oilers go on winning streaks.

He's completely missing the point too. It's not about drawing a penalty. It's about how a penalty is called when it's the league's Golden Boy who is hurt.

[Locke]

Nurse complete lack of GAF was really annoying.

"Yeah, I slashed your leg. So what? I'm Darnell Nurse."

Thats serious nonsense.

[Pipty]

If there's anything that can turn around momentum is these afternoon games. They #### the flames all the time and hopefully the coils too

[activeStick]

Is the league even looking at the Nurse slash?

Edit - nevermind, I can't keep up with threads on CP!

[ForeverFlameFan]

If the league is going to do nothing about the Nurse slash then the Oilers superstars better be on watch because if I was DeBoer I would be telling his players to target them since that seems to be the norm.

So injuring a player with a slash, such that he leaves the game is a 2 min penalty. Cool, got it. Then McDiver and Draisaitl’s wrists and ankles should be targeted tomorrow. Let’s see if there is special treatment or not.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Should be open season on McMickey and Crysaddle. Hack the hands and legs.

The NHL and Bettman are a joke.

Hey Benn. I want you to Bobby Clarke McHobo…

[Toonage]

Benn won’t do a thing. People were wanting the same thing last year. He was invisible. He’s a cheap shot artist but mostly he’s a coward.

Only 2 games in and a tied series but Dallas looks familiar to how they were last year in the WCF. Rantanen wasn’t there last year but he’s also been quiet these first few games.

I trust the Dallas coaching staff to see what we see and know what needs to be done.

Just hoping the players don’t give it away 2 years in a row. Get the split on the road and they’ll be in good shape.
