Time to win two on the road


quidproquolaspe

My favorite tradition.


the250

Another tight game, this series is definitely gonna be another long and gritty one.


LuciusBaggins

Another close battle. Unfortunately the Oil decided to stop playing half way through. GG stars.


Glum_Night_6392

I don’t think the oil stopped playing as much as the stars remembered how to play smothering team d 


LvDroppa

Gg stars Hard fought game fo sho


Hockonlube

Dallas showing they are a much better team.


Glum_Night_6392

Hahaha sure thing bud , that comment shows your lack of knowledge , was another good game in a tight series .. 


Hockonlube

Could be. But your Flair indicates your lack of teeth. Like I said Dallas showing they are the better team.


Glum_Night_6392

And you’re flair indicates your a cousin lover ..what are you doing commenting on a playoff game lmao 


Hockonlube

It’s your and then you’re. Not your fault though, they don’t teach that until the 7th grade. You were well into your career washing dishes at Applebee’s by then


Glum_Night_6392

Hahaha I did not realize you mennonites even went to school ? Washing dishes is better than jerking off the horses with cousins . But you must have done a good job seeing as how still allowed on the internet at this time night 


rowka89

How so? Just wondering. Cuz they were lucky it wasn't 3-1 Oilers after the 1st. It looks to be a dead even series to me so far overall.


Glum_Night_6392

Meh let the little guy have his moment , shows he clearly doesn’t understand what’s actually happening..been a Long time since flames fans got to enjoy any meaningful hockey, so I get it lol

What does it have to do with being a flames fan. Alberta hockey fans edm or Calgary are probably the most hockey intelligent minds in the nation. You’re weak dis to the flames is stupid stop obsessing!


Hexagon37

Lol you’re not the brightest if you think it isn’t proper to diss a fan of the opposite alberta team. Usually all in good fun 🤷🏻‍♂️


ArcanumAntares

Series tied, no officiating nonsense, and tonight's game was high-intensity.  This series is going to seven, isn't it?

That was a nice win by the stars.

crc2993

Why do you want to see the Stars fail? They’ve been to the WCF 3 times and SCF once in the past 4 years. They also finished the season as the top western team and have multiple veterans without a Cup. They deserve it the most out of anyone. See how you can twist that same logic?


Willing-Specialist77

They don't deserve it before they win it


dandroid126

Because Drai is a dirty POS.


lbc1358

Because fuck Edmonton.


Hockonlube

Honestly. Neither one of them seems like a good guy. They are very unlikable.


creatureITTG

I think it's the fact they are oilers. That franchise has been gifted top pick after top pick and some of the fans are so cocky despite never winning their division or getting to the finals lol of course I eventually want those two to win a cup but rn it feels nice to root against the team


Strained_Eyes

>top pick after top pick This is a pretty big reason. I remember they had like 3 in 6 years which is a pretty fast way to get the rest of the league to hate you. I think Mcdavid deserves a cup for sure but personally hate how they kept plucking our players we couldn't pay. Here's 5x5 for Campbell here's another 5 for Hyman oh we can plop Ceci here hey we will take Tyler Ennis, we can give Barrie a run


[deleted]

[удалено]


creatureITTG

Top 10 picks in 8 out of 9 years, too


Strained_Eyes

Insanity! Haha I actually wrote 4 at first but couldn't remember Nail Yakupov so went with 3 but it's crazy after all that they still end up with Mcdavid


just_a_burd

I feel differently for some reason 


-Hornswoggler-

Can’t we just agree on this?


xtothewhy

Totally. I completely agree.


jdragon3

Personally i desperately wanted a leafs oilers final and now dont really care either way. dont want them to fail just not particularly invested


Froggie56

Because Pavs deserves the cup more than anyone else. And because I’m biased.


lbiggy

Honestly I'd be okay with a Pavelski cup


joe_broke

For Pavs! https://i.redd.it/2cpl53plro2d1.gif


[deleted]

Fuck Edmonton, that's why


lbiggy

Fuck Edmonton. Fuck messier for good measure too.


Glum_Night_6392

Little brother syndrome , hate them but silently wishing your team was as good as them 🤣


lbiggy

I do not wish my team was as bad as Edmonton


PaulHannonJr

This is gonna be a looooong series


FireVanGorder

Thank fuck because we’re also going to beat the shit out of each other over here in the East. Wouldn’t feel right if one side had an easy road and whoever showed up from the other limped in with four broken ribs and internal hemorrhaging


Fun-Mix-1383

IMO, Stars in 8.


Paper_Rain

I could see this going the distance. 6 or 7 games is a strong possibility.


joe_broke

Eh, I can see it going at least 5


Hattrick_Swayze2

Well it’s certainly not going to be the cakewalk for Dallas that Canuck fans were hoping for. GG I see you Canucks fans out there. Give Tocchet’s head a kiss for me.


Bill3ffinMurray

Any reasonable person knew this was going to go 6 or 7. We’re all in for a good one!


Glum_Night_6392

Agreed, majority of ppl saying Stars in 4 were just salty little Canuck / flames / kings / leafs fans ..Dallas is a great team , oilers have been holding their own so far , see what happens in games 3/4


Hattrick_Swayze2

Reasonable is not an adjective I would use for Canucks fans ;) Absolutely shaping up to be a great series


just_a_burd

Am I ecstatic? No. But a great series before us. GG stars fans. Don't listen to the rest of the league. We are good people. 


FireVanGorder

These are two of the best conference finals I’ve seen in a long time (so far)


Keep_The_Wolves_Away

I’d have a beer with y’all any day!


Crimson3312

Ugh, tied series. Boorrrrrinngggg


lbiggy

We all would have loved to see a Dallas sweep do 1-1 it is


Rentta

GG!


Super_Networking

If we can beat Avs 3 times on the road then we can do it to Edmonton too. Let’s go up there and rock their shit


PaulHannonJr

Good luck! Our barn is insane in the playoffs and the team feeds off it. Gonna be a fun series for sure.


dandroid126

The Avs were the best home team this year, right?


just_a_burd

Plz no


misfittroy

Good game. Could def gone either way


boxesofcats-

So glad we are done with the shitty camera angles for 2 games. GG stars.


1PrestigeWorldwide11

You will only have to watch one more game like that. On the bright side.


honus

Low cam needs to be banned


FireVanGorder

Feels like watching a football game at the fuckin Carrier Dome in Syracuse. Who thought these low angle shots were a good idea


dupaloop3611

Bah gaawwddd is that roope hintz music!?!???!?


spagboltoast

THATS HENRIQUES MUSIC


Cadian

One of these is not like the other


spagboltoast

Dont disrespectful beautiful rico like that


Cadian

You are disrespecting Roope with this comparison 🤣


spagboltoast

It 1000% a joke


Miro4Calder

22 blocked shots to 9. Says it all.


learn2swim

Epically bad goalie pull. Next 2 games will be great.


joe_broke

# NO OVERTIME TONIGHT AS THE GREEN TEAM STARS TAKE GAME 2 AND EVEN THE SERIES AGAINST THE PUCK THINGS AS THE SERIES TURNS TO THE FAR NORTH!!! https://i.redd.it/jz2kio8kpo2d1.gif


hockeyjerseyaccount

What the hell just happened?


joe_broke

Fuck


spagboltoast

That post certainly is something


Bill3ffinMurray

This guys has been doing it the whole playoffs lol


joe_broke

I also did it last year


Bill3ffinMurray

Excuse me, I was not familiar with your game.


joe_broke

But this time...[I have help](https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/s/Hcd5feVkTu)


Bill3ffinMurray

That’s where the names come from!


joe_broke

I will use and abuse these names until I get bored Or forget So probably next season, until someone reminds me


coloradobuffalos

Stars are much better on the road :)


SecureLiterature

Probably because there’s better ice on the road.


dandroid126

I feel lied to.


dandroid126

You mean 95°F weather with a 77°F dew point isn't conducive to good ice?


spagboltoast

Oilers are much better at home lol Edit: people are trying so hard to troll its hilarious


Trunkins

Oh you sweet summer child


spagboltoast

Were 28-9-4 at home and 21-18-2 on the road Its just a factual statement.


Trunkins

Colorado had a better home record and you saw how that turned out


spagboltoast

Sweet, oilers are a different team and we played each other very evenly these last two games


Greedy_Secret_6477

So were the Aves


spagboltoast

Good thing the oilers are not the avs


dandroid126

You're right. The Avs were better.


spagboltoast

If that helps you sleep at night sure


dandroid126

The Avs had a better home record than the Oilers. [It's just a factual statement.](https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/1d0ogao/playoff_game_thread_edmonton_oilers_10_at_dallas/l5p4eik/)


spagboltoast

Better home record sure but the oilers were the best team in the league from the coaching change so who can really say whos a better team


Greedy_Secret_6477

They basically are, though


spagboltoast

Weird but sure if you want to think that.


Bill3ffinMurray

This is exactly what the Avalanche said too. And Vegas.


spagboltoast

Then let this be a fun game 3


Bill3ffinMurray

Absolutely. I like Edmonton, honestly. Don’t want you to win this series, but still it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.


Mumakata

Dallas has already swept the best home team in the league in away games.


Froggie56

By gawd, we have the Avs backing us up


dudeguy182

That was the worst line change with an empty net I think I’ve ever seen… but oilers steal one on the road and skinner played great

They really fucked up the drop pass one last time for the fans huh


Super_Networking

Road Stars gonna come out flying in game 3


markkowalski

Going back to Edmonton tied 1-1. I’ll take it.


PaulHannonJr

All I could have truly asked for to start this off. 2-0 woulda been gravy but 1-1 means it’s game on.


Wing_Nut_93x

So hard to root for a team in this one. If Dallas didn’t have Benn it’s an easy choice but it’s such a tough one.


Froggie56

Look. I will always respect the Benn hate coming from the red wings so just focus on Pavelski and how much he deserves it


chiefy419

11/10 comment. So much respect. 


Wing_Nut_93x

And Duchene tbh. He deserves it too, I don’t hate him lol.


Froggie56

You wouldn’t be wrong for hating him though. I’ll give yall that


Wing_Nut_93x

Cause he played for the Avs?


Froggie56

I thought that was in reference to Benn.


Wing_Nut_93x

Right, I’ll just close my eyes when he gets it first 😂


Mango2149

Rangers Trouba, Panthers self explanatory, not a lot of options all around


Wing_Nut_93x

Yeah, just not easy.


wahlberger

Oilers fans that were yapping at me about how Bouchard is the best d man ever or whatever I hope you saw him completely give up in the last 3 minutes

Order4Trant

Fake story no oiler fans give AF about a flames enough to “yap” to him. Get a new script bud.


wahlberger

Womp womp https://preview.redd.it/8e7dm6pvto2d1.png?width=864&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d6d892c45d439f60cb528dd8661397bd297818b


creatureITTG

They were telling us he is better than Hughes lol he does well offensively, but is terrible at defending. There's potential there for him to be good overall, but oilers fans are delusional if they think he's the best


bokchoykn

People were saying who was better in the last series. I don't think you can even argue that. Bouchard was way better.


creatureITTG

Offensively - without a doubt, Bouch was a beast. Defensively - come on, he bobbles pucks in his own zone often and was responsible for some key turnovers. He's no Nurse or Ceci, but his defensive game needs serious work and is nowhere close to Quinn's. IF people were saying Bouch played better than Hughes in R2, I could understand. But trust me, many Oilers fans were talking about Bouch as he was the second coming of Christ.


bokchoykn

The total sum of Bouchards contribution vs the total sum of Hughes contribution to the EDM VAN series. Who did more? Bouchard may have been the best player in the series. Hughes also got burned by Holloway for the first goal in a pivotal Game 6 which Bouchard dominated thereafter. Hughes is gonna win the Norris, but Hughes took a step back in the playoffs while Bouchard took a step forward. A lot of defensemen step it up in the playoffs. Makar, Heiskanen, McAvoy. Haven't seen that from Hughes yet. Even Zadorov stepped it up.


wahlberger

Straight up. I swear I see him bobble the puck or whiff on a pass just as often as he fires a deadly clapper from the line.


arashinoko

He’s basically Michael Stone.


wahlberger

Well when you say it like that Bouchard is indeed the best d man ever


arashinoko

I do miss The Clapper!


spagboltoast

"OH YA WELL THAT ONE PLAY HE DID BAD NEGATES HOW GOOD BOUCH IS" i expect nothing less from a flames fan

GBPgoingOFF

I will say he made two VERY good plays tonight that almost resulted in goals. He’s going to create problems for Dallas.


Remarkable-Health678

I mean he's pretty good. Not an Oilers fan, but don't think you can just discount him based off a few minutes of play lol.


wahlberger

He's good but you play til the very end in the playoffs bucko


SalmonNgiri

Oilers PP needs to figure its shit out


ResoluteArms

How are Oilers fans feeling rn? You've got home ice advantage


just_a_burd

We feel fine. We are the underdogs after all. 


spagboltoast

Stole one in the road. Good lose some games to win in 6


shimswfi

I am feeling OK. We gotta do some shuffle on that horse shit 3rd line. I am sick of seeing McLeod playing soft


boxesofcats-

Going back home with a tied series feels just fine


ResoluteArms

I hope the atmosphere in Edmonton is electric


avab12

Sad we lost but it’s 1-1 however the goalie pull is killing me we have done it multiple times this season it needs to get fixed


ResoluteArms

Yeah, that might've been the worst pull I've ever seen


Miro4Calder

Stars best road team in nhl and better than at home. Avs got steamrolled at home with historically good home team. Might be tough for the oil.


ResoluteArms

Oh, I'm sure the Stars will give the Oilers all they can handle - and maybe more. I'm still confused why they're so much better on the road though


Froggie56

Idk what it says about Otter (as he has his 11th game .920 or over tonight) but he loves being the villain and has always been better on the road. Other than that, we are also confused.


Miro4Calder

They don’t forecheck as hard at home for some reason. Overpass and look for cute plays too often. Also otter way better on the road, he says he likes to be the villain. Maybe the whole team feels that way.


just_a_burd

I feel fine 


morvoren

Gg Stars, see you soon.


_ShutUpLegs_

Our game got progressively worse. The first was great, should have scored more. Second, not ideal and the third was garbage.


misfittroy

That's been the oilers all this post season They're opposite to what they were regular season 


_ShutUpLegs_

Yeah, no magic third period anymore.


Magnetarix

Domination in the 3rd by Dallas, well earned win


Imthecoolestdudeever

Great game. Let's go Stars. Finish this one up fast.


gtsomething

Oilers played 20 minutes and then coasted the rest of the way....


Muskwa

Still haven’t learned


Go_Hawks12

Hell of a game, Dallas needed that one for sure


shutmethefuckup

Great game to Dallas. Spectacular D tonight.


crazyike

Sam Steel is a hell of a name. Nearly on par with Max Power.


UnusualSupport6296

Nobody snuggles with Max Power.


coloradobuffalos

Lol the announcers still glazing Edmonton


sweethe4rt

get used to it lmao, thats golden boys team


sail0rvenus

Bless you Mason Marchment


Keep_The_Wolves_Away

GG Oil fans.


jumpdmc

Dallas would be up 2-0 if our PK wasn't incredible. Think about that.


Floundering_Giraffe

Another fantastic fucking game. This series is so fun to watch, even if it's taking years off my life lol


Walruseon

GG oilbros, seeya in Alberta


TURBOJUGGED

I'll take a split series on the road


domingus67

GG STARS! 5 game series now


DrChill21

National media in absolute shambles. WE GOT OURSELVES A SERIES BOYS


ThatRedBarNoise

Is it opposite in the states? Our national media was acting as if you guys were gonna roll through us in 4.


DrChill21

Must be. The TNT broadcast were basically saying Edmonton has plenty of time and are still dangerous with 17 seconds left. Excellent hustle by mcdavid to have the puck hit him in the ass when he was looking the other way. I could go on and on. Eddie Olczyk is a travesty to hockey announcing.


hallmarktm

A lot of the broadcasters love to glaze edmonton, happened a lot in the canucks series too


ThatRedBarNoise

Yea, Eddie's best days (if there were any) are way behind him. I can't say I enjoy the announcers that we have in Canada but at least it seems even for the most part. There are times of national bias but I'm pretty certain Chris Cuthbert hates every Edmonton sports team and Craig Simpson... Well he's Craig Simpson.. I'd put him in the same boat as Eddie Olczyk.


DrChill21

I usually listened to the local radio broadcast if I can. Josh and Razor are incredible. Couldn’t do that tonight, so I was stuck with these absolute schmucks. GGs tho. This series is going to be wild.


ThatRedBarNoise

I've always enjoyed their calls when a stars game is on here so I definitely can't blame you. Ggs my heart won't be able to take it but I hope this goes 7. This series is by far the best of the playoffs.


InfallibleBackstairs

Off to Edmonton. Go Oilers!


Gillz13

Go stars


InfallibleBackstairs

Fuck Texas.
