DID OILERS SEND A MESSAGE IN GAME ONE WIN?

The Stars had their chances, but it was Connor McDavid and the Oilers who outlasted Dallas to earn the Game 1 win. Did Edmonton send a message to Dallas in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals? TSN Hockey's Cheryl Pounder breaks it down.

Has Game 1 swayed your opinion on which team is winning this series? Let us know who YOU are riding with 👇

[@red3here]

No.

[@gregdowdy2063]

Still thinking the oilers no suprises

[@OldWolf1933]

Yes, the Oilers played even better than I thought they would. Let's Go Oilers.

[@annadanychuk4568]

Absolutely. All I've heard for the last week is Dallas Dallas Dallas. Dallas Is amazing, but the Oilers are amazing too.

[@jonathon3508]

Oh please, media and you Oilers fans never stop fawning. It's Naustiating, even the title of this video.

[@OldWolf1933]

The Oilers out amazed the Stars, the media and their fanbase.

It sent a message to Oiler bashers that the team can play stifling team defence, solid goaltending and an All World penalty kill unit. They already know about our offensive firepower

[@gordon7306]

Stop it your making me vomit you southerns think you know everything about hockey probably never even laced up a pair of Tacks

[@gordon7306]

The only thing it sent the Oiler was not only have to beat the Stars now the officiating

[@gorgeousgeorge5173]

The Oilers owned most of the game outside of 2 dumb goals against and the refs not calling any Dallas penalties.

[@gorgeousgeorge5173]

@@DubeSkins-ok2dv Yes, bc the very idea a team gets ZERO penalties in over a regulation game is retarded. Or are the Stars, Angels from heaven?

[@pyRoy6]

Both teams sent a message to all of the media and fans who thought this would be easy for either team.

[@markfeland2285]

And the message is "we don't care if the ref is on your side, we're gonna beat you anyway"

[@OldWolf1933]

Let's Go Oilers!

[@TheGreyCrayon]

Lol, no. Dallas just doesn't do it in game ones. Been 4 years since they've won a game one in a series, and they handled Vegas and the Avalanche just fine.

[@annadanychuk4568]

Doesn't matter Oilers are amazing too. Whoever wants it more will win the series.

[@paullacroix527]

I can't wait until McDavid is a free agent. He can then sign with our beloved Leafs. He will look great in a Leafs uniform.

[@CA-sl2xw]

What we witnessed was one team still riding high from a game 7 win and another team that had a 5 day break. Dallas was flat in all areas, but still managed to make a game out of it. We always lose game 1’s at home, but we’ll look diff from here out.

[@tylercurrie3800]

didnt look even close to making a game out of it. if you mean the score was close then yes......But Dallas didnt show up all compared to the Oil. Tell me your not a little nervous for game 2!

Thousands of people streaming on twitch and youtube to under 10 viewers invested in a microphone so it doesn't sound like this... Cmon Cheryl step it up

[@andrewdockrill]

No, not really, edmonton is formidable and dallas just has to readjust. Game could have gone either way, honestly.

[@roximama]

This was nothing special or new. The Oilers just played their game. Hopefully they can continue to beat the refs so they can put this series behind them and move on to the finals and beat those refs too.

[@Khalistan159]

Even with Dallas having the strip clowns with them they lost.

[@tenhouradaygamer1009]

Not one analyst mentioned the second longest in history winning streak, just over and over how deep Dallas is. They better play a lot better because they got two fluke goals

[@joelgrosschmidt5507]

They didn’t “get” two fluke goals. We “gave” them two goals. And we better stop doing it

[@OldWolf1933]

Unfortunately the Oilers had a couple costly mistakes there, but redeemed themselves with great coaching, great play led by number 97.

Now the Stars know what we in Vancouver were up against lol I don't think Edmonton even played their best game. I can see them coming out flying for game 2! I think we'll see the Oilers take this series and compete for the Cup.

[@OldWolf1933]

So true. As an Oiler fan, I think its very possible that the Canucks are better than Dallas. And played a tough, gritty series with the Oilers.

[@bluegroll1]

@@OldWolf1933 I’ve also been saying this - Vancouver had an absolutely punishing defence core that I believe is much stronger than Dallas. I think oilers match up much better here than against Van.

does not matter as 97 is not the only beast on the team lol

That was a rare mistake on their part, but very costly. And very nice.

Stars are the better team, but the Oilers want it more... lets see which makes the difference...

[@LARGO125]

Where are their elite finishers? They have none. The Stars top line would be line 3 on the Oilers, Cats or NYR. The only elite talent Dallas has is in net.

[@jonbenjisnomore7935]

​@@LARGO125not true Jason Robertson has had 2 40 plus goal seasons & had 29 this season, Wyatt Johnston is a lot further along than Holloway and Seguin popped 2 last night Roope Hintz was out last night yet when he is in the lineup he's a threat. Joe Paveleski is always a threat. Dallas has depth that Stankhoven kid is another. So as a fellow Oilers fan always respect our opponents don't give em any extra motivation.

[@timothyletwin5911]

Better how. Statistically? What is your measure?

[@LARGO125]

@@jonbenjisnomore7935 ok, compare that top 6 against the top 6 of the other 3 teams, you'll see my point.

This isn’t new…the oilers should’ve finished Vancouver in 5, but a couple bad bounces help Van appear better than they were. Buckle up, it’s oilers in 7 here.
