My homie Richard bull passed away 2 days ago and he LOVED the oilers, I got so emotional after that win because we would always msg each other after each game. RIP homie 💙

RIP to your friend 🙏

Let's go Oilers! What a game, I am liking how we are taking on Dallas and Skinner seems pretty solid so far.

[@astroboy314]

Skinner was incredible!

[@jamiesucie2685]

Skinners game has improved immensely after he brought in his own goalie coach after game 3 in Vancouver series. Schwartz is not a good goalie coach and it’s time this team sent him packing.

[@FischerFan]

Keep it up, Oilers!

What a win in double overtime! I love road overtime goals, they are satisfying

[@reedhoule3045]

Leaving McDavid open and having 3 players behind the net is an interesting choice.

[@aaronl19]

I like how people before the series all were saying Oilers had bad 5v5 play, unstellar defence, and a shaky Skinner, and this game they had great 5v5 play, stellar D, and a solid Skinner

[@alsshenanigans2883]

Thought d let us down a bit. Not terrible but not themselves. Like how many goals do we count to nurses skates this playoff run. Skinner step up for the d paying them back.

[@OldWolf1933]

Skinner was stellar.

[@_roko_]

@@alsshenanigans2883 Also not to mention that first goal which was a horrible turnover by Kulak. Our defense can look amazing but they have this habit of a couple times a game just making some stupid mistake which causes a goal. But Skinner undoubtedly has been amazing since he came back from his break and our penalty kill especially has been outstanding.

[@Lucian98]

All goals scored 5v5 too

[@alsshenanigans2883]

Let’s go nuge! That goal was because his work. Forced Dallas to team up on him leaving Mcdavid open. Nuge is our saviour!

If that was the case, he never would have let the Oilers beat L.A. 3 years in a row. Only 7 Candian teams in the NHL. 3 made playoffs, so the chances of Canada winning a cup the odds are against them just because of how many Candian teams make it.

[@gravad5250]

Mcdavid has literally feasted on Tanev for years during the battle of Alberta. You can tell that most Dallas fans don’t truly know what the oilers are capable of. That being said a returning Hintz makes Dallas deeper, with Henrique also looking to get back in the line up the coach has some tough choices ahead. Fans are screaming for McLeod to sit again, but his speed is so valuable to the penalty kill.

Yesterday was such a wonderful day for hockey country! First, the host Czechians knocked out the Americans 1-0 in the quarter-finals of the WHC. The Americans' drought at the WHC is now 64 years. Then, the game's best player puts the fat-assed Texans away in OT! Chalk up another one for hockey country!

McDavid with the most Hyman goal of all time

[@kevinwong1988]

Props to Otter for holding the Oilers for so long from 5 mins into the 2nd period until the OT winner.

[@arthurau9231]

McDavid himself said he values winning the Stanley Cup with the Oilers more than representing his country at the 2026 Olympics. To McDavid he never cared about representing his country at an international level and only cares about winning multiple Stanley Cups with the Oilers than playing for his country at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.

Hey Sportsnet your hockey director needs to stop these unnecessary zoom ins, you can’t even follow the play on this goal, the tnt broadcast stays locked on the wide view because their director isn’t some show off, everyone has giant hd tvs, stop ruining the fans ability to follow the play!

I think you're getting a little ahead of yourself. The game was extremely close, with two off the pipes during the McDavid double minor. Edmonton certainly proved something tonight. Let's hope Skinner continues with his very solid performance of tonight.
