- 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!
As someone who lives in Texas and seeing both Stars and Mavs in their conference finals and have a chance to go to their respective finals is amazing
Not to mention the rangers winning last year
The cowboys 💀💀
@@joshuavandenberg4039 yeah…. The new redhead stepchild of Dallas is unfortunately my cowboys.
@@brendankelly9037 facts. I was 11 when they last sniffed the World Series. Game 6 of 2011 no longer haunt my dreams
It'll be cool to see the Stars win it all cause I'm rooting for them to win it this year.
"Stuart Little"💀
New favorite nickname for Skinner 😂
Hahaha. Get fvckdd STU absolute ended your season
14-0 shots to start the 2nd period, that’s a stars comeback. That’s the team I’ve watched all season long.
At least the Oilers didn’t wait until the third period to blow the lead. Positives.
Henrik somewhere like 😡 stay on your 🤬 post Skinner
He said almost exactly that post-game.
I believe the somewhere is in the studio in Atlanta GA
Can someone explain to me why everytime Edmonton is scoring its because Edmonton is an amazing unstoppable roster that is better than Dallas.. and everytime dallas scores, its because the oilers blew it and "let them win"
This!!!
Its the natural bias of someone who just doesn't follow hockey teams outside their preferred market. No hate on Eck or other RUclipsrs and commentators, but they need to broaden their views if they want to have a complete picture. Dallas has earned it up to this point
Lmao- it’s because you’re not allowed to disrespect Mcjesus. It’s absolutely ridiculous and something oilers fans and oilers glazers need to tell themselves to sleep at night. The Oilers lost. The Stars literally BEAT THEM. Get over it.
With the exception of the Cowboys, Dallas teams have always faced this. Maverick’s championship was more about Miami losing than Dallas winning. Rangers World Series was more about Arizona losing. You should have heard the announcers on TNT tonight about the T-wolves. Not to mention Gretzky absolutely hates the Stars for some reason. Obviously his years as an Oiler but holy hell.
@@Clue96it's absolutely absurd how much the oilers are the media's darling, yet oilers fans act as if they're being slept on
Nah this is a Dallas comeback 100%. They played awful in the first period and gave the oilers the lead. Once they woke up it was like a whole different team. Sure Skinner let in one bad goal, but he saved to many high danger chances in the second.
Yup. Yup yup yupyupyup.
Nobody wants to give Dallas credit for their playoff performance.
I'm okay with folks underestimating Dallas. They are going to keep acting shocked when they get their ass handed to them lol
Saved so many? He ha 5 goals let in on like 23 shots 💀
Skinner let's in 1 of the 1st 5 shots every game he's a bum
The amount of people that disrespect the Stars is wild to me. Announcers, RUclipsrs, etc. arguably the deepest team in the playoffs. Best in the west. Best road team. One of the best D & O teams this year
I had my team dropping against the stars handedly if we got that far. The start against the knights had me wondering about the stars a bit though. Just do me a favor Dallas : expose mcdavid and the oilers as the overrated goons they are
Bro can you shut it? Dallas is getting the least amount of disrespect out of the 4 teams left. I’ve seen more people say Dallas is winning the cup than any other team. Stop complaining dude
@@SmasherDark - it's obvious that the commentators say as little as possible positive about the Stars.
@@kenmammel7748 ok so some of the commentators think otherwise, so what? Literally most of the hockey fans and analysts think Dallas has the best chance lmao
@@SmasherDark - I agree. So what.
I'm glad we didn't have to find out if Dallas could have come back from 2-0 down again, but conference finals or not, the fact that they came back from 2-0 down against Vegas, who I genuinely believe was the best and deepest Pacific division team on day 1 of the playoffs makes me think they could have done it against the Oil as well.
love seeing Hintz and Robo cooking, and Johnston is an absolute DAWG. This was a Dallas comeback 100% because this is their true potential. LET'S GO STARS!
Dallas comeback all the way, I told my gf the fans taunting otter was a bad idea as there was a lot of time left..I was right! LETS GO STARS
💯 correct. I hate it when our fans do it, and it makes me laugh when other fans do it. Wanna mock the goalie after being up 4 or 5 goals, sure. When the game is tight though, its like your asking for Karma to come back and bite you
don’t poke the otter
They should have taken notes the last time a team from Alberta tried fucking with the Otter in the playoffs.
@@PlumbSurprised ...the team from Alberta won.
@@arkild2331 they had to lay curses.
6-1 on the road😂
6-2 tomorrow 😆
Maybe! It’s playoff hockey anything can happen!
Series tied 2-2, game winning score 5-2, eat it Dallas schmucks
Series tied, game winning 5-2, keep laughing classes chaps we don’t make fun of cancer kids or special needs people over here.
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?
Absolutely. I like the Oilers but if McDavid had done that hat trick his fans and the media would be going nuts but the current coverage is just reporting it like the weather. Clear bias, maybe trying to maintain a hopeful narrative for Oilers, who knows. Robertson was badass for that move, he's like a sniper with his accuracy and his creativity takes his skills over the edge. Dallas showed last night to be a more cohesive and versatile team, but GL both sides.
This 👆
It is biased but Skinner is kinda trash too.
@@milanek1527better than otter in this series
No Mention of the Marchment "embellishment"?
Not only do they have 5m in Campbell, they also have 9,25m in Nurse. Been the worst defenseman in the playoffs and it's not even close
Hintz is so key to Dallas. As an unbiased spectator you love to see both teams at full strength
Eck, it's Rope-eh, not Rupe, Stars fans have checked, more then a few times.
First, I want to say that this is the kind of coverage that will keep me coming back. I have been critical of your coverage of Dallas on this channel over the last few weeks, but I felt like this video was a step in the right direction. It was fair, but it still kept your character, tone, and opinion in tact. This is good content, and I am hopeful that it continues.
Second, I appreciate the insight you gave in your last Edmonton/Dallas video. I understand that you have a family and it is hard to watch all of the games, and I get that it makes making a video after every playoff game difficult. I have littles myself, and I know how difficult it is to watch playoff hockey when these puck drops are so late. It’s brutal. I appreciate the effort to improve and the acknowledgment that Dallas fans had a right to be a little upset about the coverage they’ve received. I don’t think every RUclipsr would take the time to address these concerns, so it really is appreciated. I understand that you aren’t always going for a “down the middle” fair perspective, and I am sure a lopsided viewpoint is more likely to generate clicks and generate engagement.
As far as your question goes-Game 3 was both a blown game for Edmonton and Dallas playing up to their potential. Dallas came out flat-footed in the first. Also, the D pairings weren’t working and they got that straightened out after the 1st Period. Dallas has played like this all year, though. They don’t play very well early in the game and then come roaring back. I think it is also just a symptom of their style of play. They wear you down with their forward depth, and they show up big in key moments. With Miro and Lindell on the back end and Otter in net, they are really tough to hold a lead against. Just ask last year’s Stanley Cup champs!
To be fair to the Oilers, the Stars pretty much owned Colorado last series, and I don’t really see the same thing here. Edmonton has surprised me a bit with their depth and defense being stronger than advertised and Skinner looked great in games 1 & 2. Oiler fans should stop hating on him so much for simply “regressing to the mean” a bit. The defensive breakdowns in their own zone opened the door for Dallas. Skinner is playing pretty well-you just can’t give Dallas that kind of time and space.
Sorry for another essay-keep videos like this coming!
As an Oilers fan, the fact we always keep doing blowing leads should never happen. Something NEEDS to change.
Coming from a Dallas perspective I imagine this is a tough pill to swallow. I have to say, the Canadian self criticism is insane though. I think a lot of people wanted the Oilers to win this but I didn't see many people picking them to win. You guys sound like every loss is self inflicted when (at least down here) we knew this was going to be a close series. There are better teams out there but I understand after that start it's a painful one to give up.
Canuck fans want are rooting for the Stars
Am crying rn 😢
Get used to it
The secret to happiness is low expectations.
I feel ya man. We can come back though we just need to clutch up a bit
@@brixbuildzthis is Dallas, it ain’t really a clutch up you need to
Listen, you can’t be that negative, I am Ranger fan and almost cried last series against the Canes. You gotta believe. Just remember what ever happens you guys had a great season.
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.
Yeah we are sloppy with the puck sometimes
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 😏
he also got roope wrong. think he got miro wrong before
Maybe stop relying on 2 players to solely provide your offense? That was a dallas comeback win, they have been doing it ALL season, AND all post season. Sloppy start then 2nd and 3rd periods are theirs as long as the lead isn't to far out of reach
Stars comeback this is very much like the team Ive watched this year. Roope getting back into the lineup is massive though he is the x factor centerman we need to compete with Draisaitl.
I thought Dallas would win without Roope if he had stayed injured. Would have been a lot more interesting, but I think they still had it. Now you add him back, and suddenly one of the most premium scorers in the game is unlocked in Robo. Along with Roope being one of the few dudes out there who can skate with McDavid. Yikes.
I guess you could call it a comeback but to be honest that's kind of the story of the Dallas Stars this year. Get early punches in the face, whether in a series or in a game. But then they beat you to death with their depth while the reliable lines you have all get gassed.
That was an absolute textbook Stars game! Don’t show up for the 1st and then grind the rest of the game.
As Stars and Oilers fan, it’s a bit of both. Stars had a sloppy first period and straightened up and ground their way back into the game and lead. And also the Oilers did look kinda lazy in the 2nd after getting up 2-0 in the 1st. Then a hard fought 3rd with a really smart play by Robo tbh. Great game either way IMO
I had similar thoughts and often times its a bit of both. I think the Oilers faltered a bit and Dallas started playing better. The reality is I could see game 4 going either way as both teams have a tendency to play parts of the game, not the full 60 minutes.
As a fan, I didn’t love seeing the Stars go into the 1st intermission down 2. But as someone who’s watched the Stars play this postseason, I just knew that they’d make adjustments and come back. I don’t know if it’s talked about enough, but it’s what they’ve done this whole time: make adjustments and win. It’s almost like they need that first period or that first game to see how they need to adapt to win. It’s like Alien or something.
Total Stars comeback.
Maybe if Draisaitl and McDavid had more than just one mouthguard hanging out of their mouths, the game would have had a different outcome.
Edmonton did not get a single shot in the second until after Dallas had scored 3
I think skinner needs to have that last goal not happen but other than that Edmonton needs to play better than that you can’t have as many defensive turnovers as that and expect your goalie to bail you out every time
That 4th Stars goal Skinner allowed was ugly. Even though the second goal he allowed left his rebound control to be desired, throwing defence under the bus also contributed to those goals and three others. I would like to believe the Oilers will win that conference final but with questions about their blueline, I’m not so sure.
That goal was way more about Robertson than it was Skinner. Robo did a fantastic job of holding on to the very last second and then just perfectly placing that shot in of his backside. Like Eddie on TNT was saying.....Skinner kept that game from being 6-2 in the second.That second goal against Otter by Connor was a lucky little poke that just slipped in off the edge and could have been stopped but Otter was right there it's just one of those things that happens when great players have the puck on their stick and the slightest opening.
no, goalie in the NHL need to hold the post or people would take that shot all the time.
@@shanegleeson5823 Robertson is in movement. It is just to easy to say what you said. The action goes very fast.
Skinner is better than you say. He hugged onto that post so tightly but left just enough space for one small puck to trickle through.
oilers harnessing their inner leaf. shout out to nurse who is the -12 for the post season. imagine paying for that LOL
For real tho lol and people are busting Rempes ass hahaha
It is not funny how the commentator like to make some choosen hockey players a bunch of zeros.On the third goal Robertson scored against Skinner give credit to his talent of scorer.
DeBoer deserves a ton of credit. He's outcoaching the Oilers, and that is counting where it matters. Robo and Hintz were great, but I think this comes down to Dallas being able to respond in such an effective way.
Dallas gave Edmonton the first period and the Oilers still couldn't get the win. This series is going to be short.
Can't really blame Skinner too much when Nurse let Robo walk right in and camp at the post.
This, I cant believe so many people blame Skinner for this, while Nurse had done nothing. He just stood there, putting zero pressure on Robertson, who scored really lucky goal. The puck went between pad and skate. Skinner had his blade on post, there is nothing he could do there.
@@everydaynormalguy883 His blade should've ideally been inside the post so he could toe lock the post and close the gap. Unfortunate goal but Skinner isn't the main reason Edmonton lost the game, he may not be among the best but he's good enough to get the job done if rest of the teams shapes up
At least the oilers scored in the second period, seems like they bank a few goals, then set cruise control on and it never pans out..
Nurse is god awful, probably one of the worst contracts in the league
Robo's bank shot for his third goal was reminiscent of Yzerman's bank shot goal off the skates of one Patrick Roy. Yeah, I remember that goal so well.
true goal scorer's goal
@@sakanora Yup.
Dallas uses the cherry picker better than any team in hockey. They were the best rush team in the league for a reason. Going to be tough to stop.
Edmonton and rangers both play hard the first period and then fall apart while dallas and florida stay calm and wait for that to happen. Im excited to see if both florida and dallas play in the finals how that will shake out. Otter vs Bob is how im seeing the finals - even though i want to see shesterkin wave his hands around adorably after as many more wins as i can. His we won celly is so damn wholesome! 😍
just skinner? the whole team shit the bed after the 1st.
I'm not a mcdavid glazer and I hate all his whining but he played great. He actually shot the puck for the first time in his life but once again he got no d help
*defensively. They were fine on the offence, but defence and passing last night were weak. They kept giving pucks away and they were almost scared to poke check the puck from the Stars all game.
Dallas sports stand up! Rangers World Series champs, Mavs and Stars on the brink of the finals! Let’s go stars!
Darnell Nurse is killing the Oilers. Good job Holland lmao...only 6 more years of him
I have been catching Oilers games on and off pretty much since the "Bubble" when the Blackhawks had their play in series with them, and it just seems like it's inevitable that Nurse takes a bonehead penalty at the worst possible time.
Now, maybe I'm wrong on that because I don't watch the Oilers more frequently, but it is something I notice when I do catch Oilers games.
@@SonicSlicer If you watched them more frequently you would see the exact same thing. Tyler Myers for Vancouver is just as bad when it comes to that crap.
Pickard's 2 games he played were spectacular and the team evidently plays way better in front of him (despite one of his games being a loss). It's kinda unreal to me that after game 2 we didn't see him in net for this one. Skinner is widely known to be an absolute coinflip on every single play, and the team loses a ton of confidence/momentum cause of it.
Because pickard for the most part, had very easy shots anyone who knows the smallest bit about goaltending knows skinner is leagues better then pickard, would be dumb not to play your better starter when he hasn't played bad
@@ChevroletCobaltSport Again, skinner has been an absolute coinflip the entire season. If you'd rather take a 50/50 on whether or not Skinner shows up, then be my guest. But the two games Pickard was in net, the entire team rallied to play actual 60 minute hockey. Not the team having zero confidence in Skinner to make a save in the final 20 minutes (where he's collapsed the most the entire season).
And why do you think the Stars played Oettinger for half a season despite him being a rookie in '21? The team played like absolute shit in front of Khudobin, and played like an actual NHL team in front of Oettinger. Same reason they started him for the entire series against Calgary a year later, even though it was his rookie playoff season and Holtby/Khudobin were both healthy.
Doesn't matter whether the shots were easy or not, if your team is giving up 3 goals in 3 minutes in a conference final, there's a big problem in both your goaltending & your teams confidence.
@@maekoh if you honestly think pickard would have stopped those quick 3 you truly have zero clue what you’re talking about. It’s people like you that have no idea what they are talking about that only blame goalies. When there is 1 bad goal out of 4 and you’re goalie makes multiple huge stops you don’t blame the goalie lol unless of course you’re an imbecile
eck i officially rescind my dallas stars hater comment, we dallas fans appreciate the coverage B)
Totally in the same boat. Though, silver lining is that the comment section in those discussions led me to his Star Wars channel - which by the way is fucking awesome.
Skinner is such a liability. Why do they not just play Pickard? I don't get it.
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.
Oilers definitely are gassed. 10 games in 19 days (of which 9 one-goal games) while being this top-heavy definitely is putting them at a huge disadvantage vs. Dallas. The relapse they keep having in the 2nd and 3rd isn't the norm for them if you compare it against their regular season. The 3rd used to be their most dominant period and it's now the weakest.
Cats beat Stars for the cup
@@JesusFriedChristnobody cares bro that is not the subject
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🙄
Not sure why they keep playing Skinner, watching the Canucks vs Oilers series, Pickard was the much better goalie.
The Oilers have yet to play a full 60 minute game this series. Even that 20T win, they only won because Skinner played the best game of his career. Dallas tends to not play a great first period, but they have good second and third periods. The Oilers have only played the first period well.
Again, I don't know why any Oilers fans were expecting this to be an easy series. I saw, as always, many calling a sweep.
As an avs fan. Stars in 6. Because i know oilers aren't better than us.
Blaming this loss on Skinner is not right.
As a die hard oilers fan they collapsed in the 2nd and really couldn’t get back on their feet they know what they have to do they just have to eliminate those small mistakes
As an Oilers fan, that was FUCKIN EMBARRASING. Such a pathetic display from the Oilers
Okay, not gonna lie, I heard Coach from Letterkenny there, lol. Hey, is Playfair still one of the coaches there in Edmonton?
Dallas won that game. Oilers have too much tied up in 5 players and it shows. Dallas has a lot of sweetheart deals with a lot of good players and that shows. They don't care what the score is after 1 period, they play 60 minutes. McDavid can't be out there on every shift and when he's not, they attack. When he is, they just send out Miro or Tanev and shut him down.
Oilers thought they had it in the bag going crazy in the first period but Dallas was just warming up 🤣
Bro supports a team that literally breaks the cap on scorers and paying out bonuses, then wonders how strong the team would be with an elite goalie. Canadian fans still dont understand thats not how any of this works. You have to actually put effort into managing your cap instead of being arrogant children who feel entitled to sign megastars.
Yeah, this was at least as much the Stars making a comeback as it was the Oilers falling flat. I don't like how the Stars tend to play 1st periods flat but they often grind and overcome other teams through the 2nd and 3rd periods. It's happened during the regular season and especially these playoff games.
Dallas kind of has a habit of flat first periods right now tbh they really activate in the second and third and i think that juxtaposition of their level of play can make teams relax a bit too much between periods. People say that edm's play in their own zone really degraded in the second but idk how u can call that when they barely even had to play in their own zone the whole first. Did they really collapse or did they just face real pressure for the first time that game? Dallas comeback in my book.
Tell me you know nothing about goaltending without telling me you know nothing about goaltending.
skinner has to suffer from a confidence issue or something. sometimes he’s the best goalie and other times he’s the worst
Can't hold the post with a skate up against it.. really need to use the pad. The Stars changed their game up quite a bit in the second, camping out a player high in the neutral zone, which then stretches out the game and makes forechecking both more difficult and more dangerous. Given it's the #1 tactic against aggressive forechecking it's surprising the Oilers didn't adjust, you'd think would have expected it.
Sorry but the stars are just the better team. You can’t just say that the oilers aren’t playing at their best. They are, and they’re getting beat by the stars. The stars took a minute to wake up, but once they did the oilers looked like they had no business being in the playoffs. Which is usually what will happen when your entire team is built around one player
Just wish people would give the Stars and the players the respect they deserve. If McDavid had a hat trick to comeback to win the game on the road after going scoreless for 10 straight playoff games, I'm sure we'd be watching commentators & youtubers suck him off on live tv about him being hockey's modern Jesus.
Absolutely. I like the Oilers but if McDavid had done that hat trick his fans and the media would be going nuts but the current coverage is just reporting it like the weather. Clear bias, maybe trying to maintain a hopeful narrative for Oilers, who knows. Robertson was badass for that move, he's like a sniper with his accuracy and his creativity takes his skills over the edge. Dallas showed last night to be a more cohesive and versatile team, but GL both sides.
No lie, the Edmonton Oilers have shown the amazing ability of being able to absolutely shit their pants come crucial times in the playoffs.
It's comical at this point. This team is simply not a true Cup Contender, they are a faker
The only reason they made it past two rounds is because of remarkably weak opposition. The Kings are a pushover. The Canucks (and Jets) this year were WAYYYYYY overhyped by the media and fanbases, as were the Oilers and Leafs (like they are every year). Not a single one of them are genuine contenders. The WCF already happened last round against the Avs. The West is weak-the Pacific is very weak, and the only real contenders were in the Central. The Eastern Conference, on the other hand, is very strong. They had 3 contenders, all of whom were a toss up between as to who would win the Cup. There was two ECFs this year. Last round Rangers vs Canes, and whoever was to be victorious had to battle a SECOND ECF against the Cats. Whoever won would be too tired and banged up to beat the Cats, who would go on to beat the banged up, tired Avs or Stars for the Cup. The writing was on the wall before the first game of round one. My precise prediction was wrong (Avs beat Canes for the Cup) but the overall analysis of who the actual contenders are has been quite accurate.
@@JesusFriedChrist Edmonton still plays up to par with their competition so of course they have a chance to win the Conference, but the actual cup they probably would fold quick
i get your feelings on skinner, and you're not wrong, but you have to recognize that porous (to say it mildly) defense. skinner has to hold the post on that game winner but the rest of the team just forgot about a 40-goal man and let him walk all the way to within inches of the net and do whatever he wanted.
wat the sigma
This game needs Dr. Jr.
I remember having a debate with this guy who said Corey Crawford wasn’t an elite level goalie especially in the playoffs because the team in front of him was so good that it didn’t matter if he was good or not.. it’s the opposite, it doesn’t matter how good your team is, if you don’t have a clutch goalie that can pull you through games you won’t get to the Stanley cup final, Rangers are in the conference finals because of their goalie, they were massively outplayed at times against Carolina in that series and won, they’re being massively outplayed by Florida and still find themselves tied in the series with a huge chance to get to a finals.. I don’t see Edmonton getting to a final with Skinner, as you said in this video, letting in goals like that is soul crushing for his team, he’s a good tender that can pull off some great saves but you can tell he is so low on confidence and he second guesses himself all the time. Corey Crawford single handedly pulled the Blackhawks through series at times when he was in his prime, all Goaltenders put their team on their back when they have to. Jonathan Quick was a great example of this at the Kings, Holby pulled Washington through to win a cup and they’ve never been the same since.
This narrative of "Edmonton lost this game more than Dallas won it" is such cope. You could say the same thing if Dallas had lost after their abysmal first period. But the game shifted, Dallas forechecked and defended like they've had success doing after the 1st and second periods, and Edmonton couldn't keep up with that. And the idea that Skinner should have had the last goal is just cope taking away from Robertson having the confidence/wherewithal to pull off a bank shot like that. Dallas turned it on and won this game, plain and simple.
oilers fan here i honestly don't even know what to say about what happened in the 2nd. This Oilers Team had some Terrible 2nd or 3rd Periods in the Playoffs this one was terrible. i am very Worried for the Oilers and GG to the Stars to Bouncing Back after the 1st.
2-0 lead is the most dangerous lead n hockey.
Oh! And thanks for giving me a shoutout for my comment! 😉 Keep up the amazing work!
It looks like the first 3 Dallas goals were on Edm's team defense. The fourth was on Skinner.
Not to mention Dallas just feels like the better team. More balance and consistency in their game, the first period notwithstanding. I'll be surprised if Edmonton really hangs in there from this point.
Whether this goes 6 games or 7 you just know Oilers will bottle it in the most heartbreaking way they possibly can (if you're an oilers fan)
Of course there's no video lamenting Dallas Stars for doing the exact same thing Edmonton did in Game 4, while Odinger had a shaky game and will see no criticism
Skinner is getting way too much heat on this one when more of the blame falls on the Oilers' defensive play. He kept them in it even when his teammates just would not remove either the Stars or the puck from his crease. On the first goal there are three Oilers between Robertson and the net and one directly behind him Nobody blocks the shot or lifts his stick. The only effect any of them had on that goal was maybe screening Skinner. And what is even happening on that second goal? Someone falls over at the blue line and two Stars just waltz in and are at the net as the first shot hits Skinner. Bouchard needed to get more physical with his guy and move him away, and the other Star is just vibing there uncontested hoping someone tosses him the puck so he can tap it home. Ekholm eventually comes to get him, but the other Oilers come in waving their sticks aimlessly and accomplishing nothing. Every Star other than Ekholm's essentially has free rein and it's still Ekholm's man who gets his stick in front of Skinner's glove. The ice is too crowded for him to get a hold of the puck, and it squirts right back out to the Star in the back after he's made three saves. It's ridiculous.
Yes, Skinner let in a bad goal. I want to see less of that particular kind of goal from him. But he was fighting all game and keeping the Oilers in it. They HAVE to work with him and support him on that. How do you go into a playoff game knowing you have a goalie who is good when he has confidence and bad when he doesn't, and NOT fight for your life to keep the opponent from scoring? That mid season win streak happened because the Oilers took a big step forward defensively. You can still see some of that step in their play now (most obvious example is how much less McDavid is trying to take the puck into the offensive zone and go directly to the net, on his own, through three or four guys at once), but if they don't rediscover the rest of it and fast, they aren't leaving this round. Hell, they might not win another game. It just makes me mad.
Hintz is back babbyyyy
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.
Stars take 20 minutes to warm up. You give them 40 minutes to get going and you lose.
Skinner has been a weak link for the Oilers all year and I am a hard core Oilers fan. I hope that Edmonton can recover but Skinner needs to be benched again. Everyone wants to push the fact that he won 12 games in a row during the big winning streak that Edmonton had up to just before the All Star break but he gave up multiple shut out games by letting in weak goals. Give him a couple more years and he may be a proper starting goal tender but he is not there yet.
Skinner was in the top10/5 discussion all year besides the first 2 months you have no idea what your talking about
Skinners a bum forget the streak he sucks
Darnell Nurse was covering his father in front on the 4th goal
While Oilcans are quite as bad as Avs but their forward TOI is out of round and the big reason they are down in this series. It might not be the first round as stated in video but had Vegas been matched against the Oilcans in the first round, they might be the team facing the Dallas Stars now instead of the Cans. Counter factual I know but nevertheless.
I really don't think Skinner is a legit starting goalie.
He seemed to have a ton of effortless saves from what i’ve seen (meaning the pressure of the opposing team doesn’t phase him ) but that may be because i don’t watch all teams extensively.
I agree to an extent with your comments on Skinner (you won't win playoffs with a .810 save percentage) , but the Oilers frankly played like dogshit for most of that second period and Skinner was taking a beating. It looked like two different teams suited up between the 1st and 2nd.
This is not a blown game by the oilers. They just got dominated by a better team. There is nothing they could do to stop the Onslaught which is the Stars. The oilers are just not in the Stars League.
Yea no, the oilers dominated in the first and could’ve easily won if they didn’t collapse for the second, you could say the same thing about the oilers “onslaught” at the start, went both ways
@@Tatertot20 nah because the oilers always play that way in the first. They play so hard in the first they always look worse in the following periods. The opposite is true about the stars. Always look bad in the first but get better as the game goes on. This is so much the norm, I wasn’t even worried after the 1st period because I knew the stars were gonna look better in the 2nd.
Heard it since the playoff started. Stars have to be the only team left in the Playoffs that has been gifted so many games by their charitable opponents. VGK and the Avs weren't beaten. They just didn't show up.
A golfer who gets 1 hole in one you can call lucky. Now if the same golfer gets 10 hole in ones and can it still be called luck?
In a funny way this Series, despite it being the WCF, was the matchup I was least concerned with. VGK is a matchup nightmare for any team and especially the Stars. Avs have good forward depth and an all-world defenseman. On paper the Stars match up better against the Oilers than either of those previous teams.
I mean get serious. Stars are 1 overtime goal away from this series being 3 - 0. Could I say that the Oilers were lucky to get that goal? Could I say that the Stars didn't show up? Sure but neither of those things would be true.
I will leave with this. If a team collapses then they are too mentally weak and do not deserve to be playing for the Cup. If they are being out-coached then they do not deserve to be playing for the Cup. What other excuses are left when being outplayed is removed?
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.
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
I think it was a mix of both. Stars started picking it up in the 2nd and they were buzzing after a miserable first period. I'd say their first 3 goals were because of them pressing on the pedal, however that 4th goal was definitely an oilers failure and Nurse getting a stupid penalty for no reason burned precious seconds off the clock. This probably should've gone to OT.
What ever happened to the art of the pokecheck, because clearly Skinner hasn't learned it.
What is this madlibs of a video
All letting in the bad goal did was allow Stars to win in the 3rd instead of overtime. Stars were taking game 3 no matter what once they woke up in the second
I disagree with everyone saying “the oilers lost this more than the stars won it”. Stop. There is no “the Oilers beat themselves”. The oilers scored five goals on themselves? People don’t give the Canucks credit for taking the oilers to seven. They aren’t giving the stars any credit for literally beating the Oilers. The Stars won the game. The STARS BEAT THE OILERS. The stars are a wagon. The Oilers have e two fantastic star players, but where is the rest of the team. Dallas is a team. Vancouver was a team. Edmonton has Connor Mcdavid and Leon Draisitl.
copium
@@ryankrause618 that’s exactly what “the oilers beat themselves” is.
Skinner try not to let in a bad goal in rvh: impossible
As a 15 year Oilers fan, watching that game has me actually hoping the team gets eliminated. They’re a complete joke.
Watching McDavid looking around lost and confused after Robertsons goals is funny af 🤣🤣 Dallas schooled Oilers and Oilers fans on what real teamwork looks like. Oilers thought they had it in the bag going crazy in the first period but Dallas was just warming up 🤣
Why does Draisaitl even wear a mouth piece ?
Why not just chew gum ?
Kind of hard for oilers when they're down their number 2 scorer Ian Cole.
