Breaking down an eventful night for McDavid in Oilers’ Game 1 win



From a four-minute penalty in overtime to the game-winning goal in the second extra period, it was an eventful night for Connor McDavid

  1. If any other hockey fans want to check out my debut song…that would be awesome. I know its not the best place but maybe fellow fans have a couple minutes (Letting Go – Houston Rydell; its on all music streaming sites)

  2. I'm a neutral fan, and like both teams. Anyone who thinks Edmonton is going to walk all over Dallas, keep in mind that the Stars haven't won a game 1 since the bubble year 2020. Yet they've won a lot of series' since. This should be a long WCF.

  3. the oilers bottom 6 doesnt score much but they forecheck hard, are defensively solid and kill penalties. that should be enough to give the top two lines enough leeway to win the game.

  4. The Oilers PK is amazing because they have learned that they have to beat the refs in the playoffs if they want to win.

  5. McDavid deserved the penalty. He's become a serial high sticker when the going gets tough. And he's repeatedly gotten away with it. I hope he learned something here. He almost cost us the game, and if he doesn't drop this bad habit he will end somebody's career. Come on, McDavid, you are better than this.

  6. Connor's highstick was actually the other guy hooking. Should have been a hooking call then whistle blow before it even happened.

  7. Usually the refs manage the games especially in the playoffs ,im not talking about the high stick but when the oilers get 5 penalties, 3 of which were very borderline ticky tack and they called only 1 on Dallas .I know there are refs that have rifts with certain teams as much as tgey do not want to admit it.Does someone know the process the NHL goes through when deciding referees for playoffs? I thought i heard somewhere that teams can request or somehow dispute whether a ref gets assigned a game?

  8. That should of been 4 minutes for McDavid for the high sticking and two minutes for Duchene holding the stick
