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

[JurassicTunga12]

Dallas looks horrendous this series. Brutal.

Seems like every team the oilers have faced so far in these playoffs has been a slow skating team. The Avs probably would've been a better match up.

Yes the deserve to win meter was great! Good job Dallas at shooting a bunch at the crest with no screen!

Oh no I'm more venting at Dallas not you haha. I'm saying they need to show up. Stop no showing.

Florida is going to have their hands full and short handed thanks to the losers in Carolina

They won't get 2 or 3. If they manage to get past Florida this year it's one and done. They were only 5 points clear of the cut off this year. They're the oldest team in the league, going to be older next year, and will be one of the oldest teams ever to win it all. They're on the wrong side of the curve, evident by their regular season decline, and could very well miss the playoffs next year.

This is why it's imperative Florida gets the job done.

Dallas is the biggest loser organization. Their players all suck in playoffs except Rantanen. Absolute no shows.

I feel like Colorado could out-Oiler the Oilers. Never really liked this matchup for Dallas. They really can't keep up.

Really wish I had put some money on this outcome

I don't want to hear the excuses from Dallas. They aren't hitting and they aren't going to the dirty areas. Maple Leafs west.

And was terrible and his team got destroyed...that was his point. A guy playing so far below his normal level is likely injured.

Yup, it's exactly why I wanted them to win, in case things played out that way. Gassing that lead in the 3rd period of game 7 has doomed us all. Thank jebus I have faith in Florida to do it, because this is disgusting.

Pete Dohhhhber. Can’t believe this bum cracked the Canadian coaching staff.

Most of the team looks like garbage, I was specifically talking about Johnston, though

They played gutless tonight

I mean they hit two posts and missed a few empty nets...we can actually talk about what happened in the game. It was a 1 goal win and Dallas should have scored at least a couple in the first. They didn't finish and it cost them, pretty hard to disagree.

I also had faith in Vegas and Dallas (and LA when they were up 2-0) but here we are.

So would the Flames TBH

[Paulie Walnuts]

At some point not being able to finish becomes they just are not good. Dallas is no good.

[dino7c]

Colorado lost to Dallas without Heiskanen don't forget...he is the best Star out there IMO

[Paulie Walnuts]

Colorado got goalied and their goaltending let them down once again. At lead they can skate and score and winners and champions on their team with heart that would push back and win some 6-4 games.

After losing to the Oinkers 3 years in a row, I had 0 faith in L.A. I actually couldn't believe they managed to go up 2-0 (and 28 seconds away from being up 3-1...ugh). Vegas I had more hope, but they looked so shaky first round that I was worried.

I only had strong faith in Colorado and Florida, its a proven formula (and maybe St. Louis). At least 1 is still around!
