The Dallas Stars delivered a stunning performance in Game 1 of the 2025 NHL Western Conference Final, overcoming a 3-1 deficit to defeat the Edmonton Oilers 6-3. Trailing by two goals entering the third period, the Stars erupted with five unanswered goals, including three power-play tallies within a 5:26 span. Tyler Seguin led the charge with two goals and an assist, while Miro Heiskanen, Mikael Granlund, and Matt Duchene also found the back of the net. Goaltender Jake Oettinger made 24 saves to secure the victory.
Despite strong performances from Edmonton’s Leon Draisaitl (one goal, two assists), Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (one goal, one assist), and Connor McDavid (two assists), the Oilers couldn’t withstand the Stars’ third-period surge. This game marks a significant momentum start as the series heats up.

Poof! A star is born
The detail you missed on the Duchene PP goal was the dish he got from a prone Hintz. Dont feel bad, a lot of people overlooked that.
Where is JR?
One game at a time. Its a different Stars team, oilers too. Well see. Go Stars. Dallas in 6
Those were legit penalties…oilers left the officials no choice but to make those calls with their undisciplined play. Dallas made them pay for it.
Damn , on set
You hear that Oilers fans, if you dont get caught it doesn't get called. Your own podcast guys said it. So, stop crying. Cause it goes both ways.
Can’t stand the Oilers!! Not a big fan of Dallas, but any team but Edmonton!!!!
McBaby always looks on the verge of tears
I cant imagine blaming the refs at all, those were all stupid and obvious penalities. Edmonton fucked themselves
LOL your analysis is not wrong, but when you run the framerate that slow it gives you a lot of time to come up with a lot bs. This is how dangerous Dallas is this year, they are so good they'll beat you with bullshit, let alone anything else..
Not sure if there were made history on that empty net goal😂 Full finnish 5 on ice😂
I made my apology to Stuart Skinner! Please start Pickard!!
Enjoy your vacation, bro! Looking forward to your breakdown of game 2. 😎
Mikael Granlund is a finnish hockey legend. Right up there with Saku Koivu after Kurri and Selänne. Big time tournament player. Im glad how north americans finally see how good he is. He never got a team even close this talented where he can shine. Been a journeyman for some time.
Wel done thanks!
It looked like both teams struggled with each other's speed. Coming from series against Vegas and Winnipeg, the speed is juat different. It will be interesting to see how they adjust game to game.
After last nights game i think
Dallas going to win the series
They are to quick for Edmonton
And Skinner stinks
I'm liking, commenting, and recommending your videos to my friends every time you make one. Best analyst/breakdown videos in YT, I wish success for your channel.
Stars won't win this series, I stopped watching after the second period because I had something to do, and it looks like something happened in the 3rd, but what I did see tells me enough that this is the Oilers year…
SAD, VERY SAD LOL
Hey! I'm also passing through Vancouver. What a coincidence. Another great breakdown, thanks for the vid
Have a safe one bro! Let’s get it STARS!
Excellent breakdowns with analyses show after show. Good on ya, Coach!
Panthers fan here, enjoying your commentary on the puck.😂
Oilers looked dominant, until they didn’t.
Have fun in Vancouver thanks for the amazing game review you need disappoint
Oilers fans aren't worried. We got em right where we want em.
Was at the game. Felt like the stars were going to get swept after the Bouchard goal.
Third period was electric.
Unsure why the entirety of the Canadian media persistently mispronounces Heiskanen’s name. (It’s HEY-skanen, not HIGH-skanen)
Stars in 6 💯🚨🏒
That 3rd period was hard to watch. I don't see how the Oilers can win the Cup with Skinner. He is simply not elite. The Stars/ Canes/ Panthers all have elite goalies.
I was like … “who the heck is standing behind Coach in the bushes?!!” 🤣
Just a reflection of your camera person’s feet – or maybe your biggest fan’s feet – or maybe both!
Did Hintz pass that puck to Duchene while falling on his face?
Wow.
Biggest takeaway for Edmonton from this one… stay out of the penalty box!!
Enjoy your 12 minutes of summer haha!
It’s always summer here in Florida.
We have two seasons – Early Summer and Late Summer!
Good stuff as always, Coach👊🏻
Special teams are so important. Last year, Dallas couldn’t score a single power play goal in the WCF. They outscored Edmonton at 5on5, but folded on special teams.
Last night, Dallas exploits Edmonton’s weak penalty kill to launch the comeback. Stars must continue that this series to win it.
Go Stars!
mcdavid has the personality of a grain of rice.
On draisaitl’s goal, that pick, yeah. It’s called interference. canadians hate US teams from the south, hence all the biased commentary.
You’re just like all the other crap commentary. It’s not that the Stars won, right? It’s that the oilers lost. Pffff..
Talk about the 5 on 5 play in the third. They got dominated.
Not saying the oilers aren’t a great team, but you’re off. It’s a game of adjustments and Pete Deboer will adjust. This isn’t 2024. It’s a new series and a new team.
Stars in 6
Not happy about the Oily Boys third period meltdown, but any day to watch your takes is a good one, never change and sick travels!
Haha yup buddy. Huge oilers fan. Those penalties were all legit. We have seen this bed shite ing many times before. Not concerned. Typical Oilers fashion that players on other teams who are in scoring droughts end it playing them. Nothing new here folks
25% PK! Brutal. Time to fix the special teams Edmonton!
🛑SKINNER 815 save percentage‼️Pathetic!!!!! 🤮
I’m curious coach, do you think that Sam Steel goal was going in ? Or do you think Seggy saved it
The Oilers finally found out when the tables turned on them in the 3rd period. Wow! I hope the players eat their humble pie and really learn from this. Now, we have a series!
Haha, the greasers couldn't hold a two-goal lead. Go Stars!
turtling is a pussy move…should be a 5 minute major
