Jason Robertson banged in a hatty to dismantle the Oilers after they came out flying in the first period of game 3 of the Western Conference Finals. That and more in today’s NHL hockey video!
They need to just replace skinner with pickard once there’s 10 mins left in the 3rd cause somehow whether its for a shutout or just simply holding on to a victory, skinner always lets in at least 1🙄
McHesus was -1 and he had 1 assist and 1 goal. I'm sorry, but the man is incredibly talented and an amazing skater and shooter but in order to actually be considered "The Best in the World" you have to play some defense /shrug
johnsTON my guy, there is a T in that mans name. Also, its ok that nobody wants to credit the Stars when they win. People have been saying that to us and diminishing our efforts the entire playoffs now, we're used to it 😏
Playoffs is about 'details'. First goal, McDavid doesn't apply enough pressure on Robertson and before that Nuge doesn't clear the puck out of their zone. Third goal, Desharnais whiffs on a clear and misplays the sequence afterwards. Fourth goal…Skinner could've stick checked or just stay tighter. Oilers are just shooting themselves in the foot with some of these plays.
It’s so frustrating watching nurse down on a knee totally taking himself out of the play, what a plug! Nice penalty at the end of the game as well dumbass! Stetcher is less of a liability
I think all you need to know about the biased perceptions is the difference in coverage between McDavid's goal and Robo's entire night. McDavid got a piece of a bouncing puck that the NHL ultimately ruled an own goal and he's being hailed for his scoring prowess. Robo almost singlehandedly wills his team to a win with a hat trick and it's all because of Skinner's failures apparently. If McDavid had scored an identical goal to Robo's 3rd, he'd get so much praise for his creativity and knack for finding holes. Instead Robo is just "lucky to have found a soft goalie". At what point do people acknowledge that maybe Dallas just has a good hockey team?
As a Dallas local, I have a (likely) unpopular opinion on this.
In the first period, the Oilers beat the crap out of the Stars in every way…skating, passing, physicality, and (obviously) on the scoreboard.
Here’s what I saw as the key to the Stars comeback in this game: Throughout the first period, every time a Star touched the puck, he got finished. That led to turning away from the hits, and getting rid of the puck as quickly as possible. When the Oilers stopped being so physical, the Stars started playing their brand of hockey. Once Dallas had the momentum, the Oilers simply couldn’t stop them.
One of the biggest weaknesses I see with Dallas right now is their passing. It’s just not as consistently great as it COULD be. It might be good for Modano to put on a passing clinic for these boys.
Edmonton was dumb to get rid of Campbell, he's a better goalie but they quit on him. Too bad cause he's a good guy, just needed to get through some tough times that all goalies go through.
I'm still confused about why anyone who has watched these teams play to this point thinks that Edmonton has a more than a puncher's chance in this series.

There are great teams in Dallas, and then there’s the Cowboys.

It's pronounced rope, eh?

Why does Draisaitl even wear a mouth piece ?
Why not just chew gum ?
Total Stars comeback.
Skinner is such a liability. Why do they not just play Pickard? I don't get it.

Hintz is back babbyyyy

Pasta won the world cup for Czechia! Just sayin'….
I really don't think Skinner is a legit starting goalie.
"Rupé" Hintz lmao. It's Roope.

1:13 Wyatt who? Auto dislike
Hey eck, It was actually Ligma’s fault that the Oilers lost.

Dime and Vinnie are looking over. Dallas will win on the 25th year anniversary of the cup getting chucked into Vinnie's pool.
Oilers eat nuts.
As a 15 year Oilers fan, watching that game has me actually hoping the team gets eliminated. They’re a complete joke.
