If Edmonton it will be a 2006 rematch or a 2024 rematch
As a Stars fan after we lost last year I was hoping mcjesus was gonna hoist Lord Stanley. Gonna be a great series.
Shannon will be on the cover of next month's Vogue with that combo.
I think Otter is one of those players who will have “greatness thrown upon him”. That’s how Dallas will win.
2 fast teams that thrive on puck control
gonna been fun
Dallas, if you win… beat the cats.
Oilers in 6
After the respect that Dallas fans showed the Jets, I'm hoping they have a good series. But I'm from Alberta, so I believe in Edmonton. If Oilers win, that would make the Cup final better, eh??
As long as Dallas puts the puck on net more than they have been , and stay out tha box less
will be okay
I think both teams are better this year than last season. Biggest differences for the Stars are they have a superstar up front this season, and they aren't having to run only five defenseman like they had to all last playoffs. By that Edmonton series, Ryan Suter looked completely gassed, so it was really just Heiskanen, Tanev, and Harley they were depending on. Harley has also stepped his game up a few levels since last season.
Biggest difference for Edmonton is their depth this year is superior to last season.
If we look at their current playoff runs, I think you have to say the Stars have beaten the tougher competition. I don't think it's a stretch to say Colorado and Winnipeg were probably two of the top four or five teams in the NHL this season.
Whereas the LA Kings were solid newcomers, and Vegas has been declining since their Stanley Cup run. Even a slightly above mediocre Minnesota team gave Vegas a run in the first round. Does that mean the Stars are more battle tested and ready, or does that mean the tougher competition has taken more out of them?
If Edmonton continues with save percentages in the .800s they're losing the series.
If the Stars continue to get virtually zero offensive production out of Duchene, Marchment, Seguin, Johnston, and Robertson they're losing the series unless Rantanen outduels McDavid and Drysidle by himself.
Skinner will fall apart, as he always does
McJesus will bless the stars 😆
that is a terrible sweater…..
Dallas – neutralise Edmontons speed is key to victory
Edmonton- hope that their core unit doesn’t dry up
Whoever wins game 4 will stand a chance to win the series
4:05 counter point he could have like 25 points if he shoots just a bit more
According to so called "experts" oilers weren't supposed to beat L.A. L.A is so good at home and so good defensively they said. Then they said Vegas is a deeper team than L.A and no way oil are beating Vegas. Now it's Dallas is so good all around and oilers won't beat them. Dallas beat Colorado and Winnipeg so now they're considered so good?, Big whoop, oilers beat two great teams in L.A and Vegas. So sick of hearing how the oilers can't beat these teams. They never get the respect they deserve. Now if they happen to beat Dallas and go back to the cup, they'll say that they have no chance at Carolina or Florida. Oil need to shut everyone up and keep defying the odds. So ridiculous.
I wouldn't count out McDavid being hungry. He got so close last year and if there's a player who can carry a team, it's him.
Dallas aslo was missing Hintz first 2 games, and he had a broken hand the rest of the series, arguably our best forward
Teams this deep into the playoffs are going to have good special teams.
Stars fan but my dad is an oilers fan so the household is gonna be something
It's STILL a game of mistakes and that is why I see Stars as the favorite. Oettinger has finally grown into someone who can withstand the pressure and they have the defense that can play mistake free. It's possible Lindell, Heiskanen, Harley to do a mistake, but it's just more likely for Bouch, Ekholm, Nurse. If Oilers manage to take this, I'll be a fan of Canadian team first time in 2 decades.
Cool hat Shannen
As oilers fan thanks for being respectful well done 🍻 should be great series for all
Stars in 6
sharp and effective transition from defense to offense
Love these breakdowns. Stars need a Mr. Hyde version of Stu, and to pick up at least 2 or 3 wins before Ekholm comes back
Oilers win
what i been saying before the playoffs gonna be Stars vs Panthers in the Finals and Stars beating the former champs! GO STARS!
Repeat oilers vs panthers but panthers gonna be tired 😫
Stars in 4, light work
THG, the oilers are your grim reaper
Dallas wins 4-0 easy lol
Whomever advances will get smoked by Florida.
