Canuck fan here but I am now rooting for Edmonton now that they took out my team. They are the only Canadian team left in the cup run this year. Go Oilers go.
Stu was dialed in, man. He played really well. The Oilers deserved to win this game. My one gripe aside from the game getting tied up was the camera angle. It was horrible, almost as if the Stars gave a fan free season tickets in exchange for running the camera.
Yeah their camera has always been a bit iffy. It's exacerbated even more when every fan is standing during play lol doing commentary during the stream last night was difficult 😂
What did I say!! Stuart Skinner Redemption game!! He was completely locked in. Those two goals were unfortunate, but the only reason Connor and Bouch could even score in double overtime was because he stood tall in overtime!!
Edmonton was stronger throughout. The dallas crowd was restless and frustrated all game from where I was sitting. PS Ceci looks pretty good in 3D! Desharnais is a GIANT!
Dallas played 80 minutes of no player infraction hockey..... Riiiight. I'd really like to hear the excuse the NHL comes up with for that garbage. One example: The goal Hyman scored, he was being hooked hard from both sides and the refs (from what I saw), weren't going to call anything. It was unreal to watch in real time. Just glad he's so strong on the puck and buried it. Skinner sure built a pretty solid wall there, can't really fault him on either of those goals. Might have flopped a bit on the first one but that really falls on Kulak. I really can't stand it when there's fans that are concerned about Skinner's streaky play, that they're called haters.... That's a bullshit way to look at it. We all know the guy is capable. I have a feeling this reffing shit is going to continue so I really hope the guys can play through it. I almost thought the same as you about the 4d chess comment, they're just trying to keep the Oilers sharp.
I mean it’s just complete garbage officiating. All professional sports leagues are suffering from it now and with all this pushing of sports betting something will have to change eventually
Masterclass Stanley cup playoff game. Things bode well! They are playing like that 16 game winning streak. No coincidences! LFG. That PK. I knew it would play the ultimate role.
i was very critical of the oilers when they fired woody but man was i wrong. knobs seems like a better coach tactically and coffey has saved our d-core.
Stu gets dumped on because he doesn't have the pure reflex of other goalies... but he is hand's down the top fundamental positioning goalie in the League! His work with the goalie coach he had last season is paying huge dividends!
While lopsided, I dont have too many issues with the officiating tonight to be honest. The officials should just move their feet and get out of the way of the play a bit more when able. Skinner seems to perform best when he has an early high danger chance that he also stops. He lets in 2 a game usually which sucks, but after that first big save and rebound in the 1st he looked strong. (Although a little bit shaken, but that could have been adrenaline.) I did also like the performance of the depth players. They werent spectacular, but they played up and matched well against the pressure of the Dallas depth pieces. Also, wow that penalty kill has been doing well, but the boys need to start finding their footing on the power play. Perhaps a new setup strat is in order.
Agree with your comment on the officiating, lopsided is true. let's see if it they try to even it up for the Stars tomorrow. Skinner was solid. Faceoff needs some work and some discipline to reduce give-aways.
This game was great for the Oilers in many ways. The effort, Skinner's supersolid performance, the amazing PK... I liked specially the way all lines were involved. I mean, I saw much more participation of lines 3 & 4, and that is something specially important in these WCF against Dalla's deep roster. That said, it's also positive that the 3 main scoring forwards -McDavid, Hyman & Draitsaitl- shared protagonism regarding scoring. Good job! Go Oilers!
Loved McDavids lack of Emotion after the win its like he signaled to the team, "game on, lets get it done" one thing to bear in mind, Nuge was in the box for 2 of those penalties if I'm not mistaken.. so do they really even count?
Like you said, the officiating last night was questionable at best and putrid at worst. It felt awesome to see this team stick it to the officiating with their unbelievable PK, they've been coming through all playoffs and last night was their best yet. Killing off a double minor in OT. Hell yeah!! Thought Dallas was going to win it when McDavid took that penalty, but thank goodness luck was also on our side with those two goalposts. If we keep playing like this each and every game (minus the blown leads, of course), then our chances at a Cup are looking better and better. Also huge how Stu seems to have found his confidence again!! Looking forward to tomorrow night, LET'S GO OILERS!!!!!!
I truly feel that this lopsided garbage officiating will Inspire us to force our will on the stars the refs their fans whatever we need. It's go time and time to obliterate them in game 2. Hopefully the refs aren't as pathetic this time around. If they are we will just have to go through them again too.
Despite Draisaitle’s objections, I think posts are good goaltending lol. Often means the goalie didn’t give you much to shoot at, or they seem hard to beat so you have to pick corners, and miss.
Yah big win boys! the officiating was shit as usual. stu played really well. The oilers looked way better then dallas, controlled the play for the most part. Way to go pk just a fantastic job. Conner with a huge goal. I mean i was'nt seeing a sweep but after that game It's definitly possible if we continue to play like that. What a great team game they played.😊
Everyone is saying Skinner was dialled in and I’m like… eh. Yeah, he pulled it together, but for the second game in a row he got beat left side while failing to seal the post and being sprawled out on his stomach. Game 7 last series it didn’t bite him in the ass, but he was beat. It happened again this game and it did result in a goal. He did stand firm most of the game but that’s a clear weakness.
.939 sv%, 2GA, and a really solid +1.8 GSAx. That's dialed in. His huge saves in the first on the Dadonov breakaway, and then the rebound save right after set the tone IMO. One of Skinners best games in his playoff career! Hopefully he can keep it up 💪
@@AHockey1993 he definitely wasn’t bad, I just didn’t love him giving up the same exact chance as the previous game. Teams learn quickly what skinner is struggling with and I’m worried this will be the same. But I’ve said it a lot, if he can give them even league average goaltending they’ll go all the way. Last night was above average and one bad goal isn’t the end of the world I suppose.
Double minors need to be changed. You can be injured seriously with no blood, and bleed without serious injury. It’s a really stupid rule and needs to be changed.
They need to watch Dallas' cherry pickers....The defense cannot allow Dallas players to get behind them. They kept on trying that play and succeeded on one for a clear cut breakaway...."Boys dont allow freebies!"
I'm about as level-headed as I can be after a win lol I even said near the end of the video that I'm happy with the win today but know there is a lot of work to do in this series so I don't get too excited
@@AHockey1993 I'm sorry I cut your video early I had to leave but that's cool. I still say I'm a Minnesota North Stars fan. Even today I say Dallas North Stars 🤩😁👍. Although I'm a big wha fan. So if the stars don't win I want the oilers to win. Weren't they called Alberta oilers at one time?
@@AHockey1993 I thought maybe the first year like 72/73 but I'm not really sure look it up I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere. But I could be wrong 🤔❤️
@gaetanodetorrice5555 You're right. In their first WHA season, they were called the Alberta Oilers. I think that the plan was to play home games in both Edmonton and Calgary, but I'm not sure if that ever actually happened.

The guys killed that double minor for their captain. Their captain rewarded them with the game winner
That was a PERFECT sequel 🥹
Facts, it was perfect!
Canuck fan here but I am now rooting for Edmonton now that they took out my team. They are the only Canadian team left in the cup run this year. Go Oilers go.
That Edm pk is a thing of beauty. To kill a 4 min double minor with McDavid in the box...just perfection.
now that i think about it. the oilers BEEN killing double minors with no issue the past 2 series in van and la
First WCF win in McDavid Era. Love it

I agree with your comment. Horrible that camera angle and work is so bad to see in 2024. Missed anything along the boards camera side!
I agree that low angle isn’t good for viewing, however you sure do get a better sense of the speed the game is actually played at!
He was sharp and going back the last 3 games I feel as though either one of our goaltenders could have easily earned a shutout win in any of them.
What did I say!! Stuart Skinner Redemption game!! He was completely locked in. Those two goals were unfortunate, but the only reason Connor and Bouch could even score in double overtime was because he stood tall in overtime!!
Edmonton was stronger throughout. The dallas crowd was restless and frustrated all game from where I was sitting.

The Dallas fans seemed very quite to me as well. I was surprised they didn't have more chants.
@@kneelbeforethelord917super quiet. But when compared to Edmontons and Vancouvers crowds, most of them are going to seem quiet.
@@jamiereid7428 That's true

The bottom 6 killed it last night. Connor Brown kept catching my eye. He was a forechecking beast
His best game of the year by far

i was very critical of the oilers when they fired woody but man was i wrong. knobs seems like a better coach tactically and coffey has saved our d-core.
Same here, rip woody I hope he gets another job soon though. He’s still a good coach

Won 500 bucks on the oil last night

What about the high stick smack on Stuart Skinners head during the 4 minute powerplay. No call.

The 4 min penalty was a good call but i think that Dallas should have gotten a 2min for hooking too.

Hopefully the refs aren't as pathetic this time around. If they are we will just have to go through them again too.
Awesome break down! Just found your channel and you earned a subscribe!
I believe in Skinner, he has it in him to be great! 🧡💙

That comment you highlighted. I've seen others posted from that guy. Good for some laughs, no doubt.
I know Foegll didn't get a point. But he always looks so good when he's playing. He's got the most hustle on the team. Maybe second to Holloway.
He desperately needs a goal to boost his confidence
The refs are tired of seeing Oilers PP. so they are developing Oilers PK now. I welcome adversity. It will make them stronger 😎
When are Captain was in the box 📦 I got scurred. But our boys are amazing.

He could have earned a shutout if not for the defense whiff that lead to the first goal imo
I watched it in 2006 this team is way better minus pronger but bouchard ek make up for that
