Edmonton Oilers chasing history in series against Dallas Stars

The Oilers become just the sixth team in NHL history to face the number one seed three years in a row as the see the Stars in the Western Conference Final. TSN's Glenn Schiiler has more on what to watch for in the championship series, including some historical markers Edmonton is chasing.

[@t1nzl744]

They struggled against Vancouver 4-0! I am happy to see Oilers as underdog because that means if they win the series..it’s a big deal!

Are you stufid?

Another episode of "we don't watch the video to make sure it's edited properly before uploading it" by TSN 🤣

[@cindyrussell1581]

So the Oilers never won a game against The canucks either. So playing Dallas means nothing. Playoffs are different.

[@DJ-cz3gx]

Any team that made this far has a chance to win the cup.

[@triple8s]

Let's Go Oilers! 🥳💪💙🧡

[@gorgeousgeorge5173]

I love to see the Oilers as underdogs while critics write their obit. Depth? 97 and 29 have more playoff points than than half the Dallas bench combined, but ok.

[@Khalistan159]

Canucks swept the Oilers in the reg season. How did that turn out for Canucks ?

[@MustyBastard]

but Dallas has the Filipino wrecking machine

[@andrewelliott7984]

Oilers hopefully give Dallas at least one win for entertainment. Good luck oilers in the finals!!!!!!!!!!! Finally a canadien team!!!!!!!

[@mikereim3303]

It’s so amazing to me that sports analysts, talk about lack of mcdavid’s production at over a point a game. But also the lack of noticing how much plays away from the puck matter

[@Cars-_-cars938]

Go Edmonton

[@gregc8483]

So now TSN wants to use the term Core Four when referring to the Oilers players? Smh

[@scout8424]

The core 20

[@mattboyko09]

Stars are going down!

[@drrobertyeoman9535]

Go Oilers! You have your work cut out for you. No more off games please

[@SS-iv7wv]

If Micdavid plays like he did in Vancouver series this series might go to Dallas in 5, maybe a sweep. He's been unnoticeable out there.

[@CastleBrookKrew]

Lol

[@CastleBrookKrew]

So glad to see the Oilers have you so invested

[@jordanlyons9011]

Oilers in 5. Never underestimate the EDMONTON OILERS.

[@Mrhhhjjkk]

Oilers in 5 will never happen. Oilers didn't had a tough route to the semis Nashville and Vancouver are shitty teams compared to Vegas and Colorado.

[@michaelmaier5565]

Nashville?

[@Mrhhhjjkk]

@@michaelmaier5565 The Kings... My bad

[@michaelmaier5565]

@Mrhhhjjkk mostly just pulling your leg, I will agree that LA did little to nothing from last year to improve. I wouldn’t call Vancouver shitty compared to Colorado (Vegas I’ll give you for arguments sake but not Colorado, bad goaltending and just looked deflated at the end) I do agree Dallas is the favourite to win this series but they sit back WAY too much. Vegas had them 2-0 and Colorado kept finding their way into games they shouldn’t be in. If they lay back on Mc David and Draisaitl it won’t go their way. With that said Edmonton laid back too many times on Vancouver. My prediction, I don’t know who will win the series but you’ll see so many comebacks in games it’ll make you go crazy.

[@blastomanto5687]

@@michaelmaier5565Colorado is way better than Vancouver. They exposed Winnipeg who was thr best defensive team and Vezina favorite in 5 games. They did not have Nichushkin since game 4 but Dallas also didn’t have their top line center Hintz either who is still questionable

[@cskvision]

Oilers have their work cut out against Dallas, but the Stars should know this is no cakewalk for them

[@johnathonkelly5117]

Oilers special teams, speed and hunger to win are going to be the downfall of the stars

[@lAmCanad1an]

Again, Oilers just showed regular season means nothing. Also Winnipeg owned Colorado during the season and look how that series ended up too.

[@atrealdino6667]

Phase 🖖

[@LyonHall1]

The Oilers have to do something that only has happened once in my life....and that's beat Dallas.They will need to play superb to beat Dallas

[@edwinter8424]

20 yrs ago? Niether same teams. Oil in 5

[@Dusty338]

Stars in 6.

[@steveaustin-kp6px]

what history ? where i am i am taking either panthers or the rangers and i am supporting the stars in that series 🤣

[@mkultra5752]

. Unfortunately canada will never win a stanley cup again. Welcome to the new nhl where american owners buy cups.

[@georgehe1473]

[@timw4369]

the canucks might not have won the series but they exposed the oilers. The goaltending is painfully bad. The defense other then bouchard is week and the 3rd and 4th lines are suspect.

[@zestplays]

Screw Canadas hope. All Canucks fans are cheering for local BC Boy Jamie Benn to Take out the Oilers

[@JMach82]

Isn’t Ryan Nugent-Hopkins a local BC boy? Pretty sure he’s from Burnaby. Why not cheer for him and the Oilers?

[@zestplays]

@@JMach82 isn’t that Obvious why Canucks fans wouldn’t want to cheer for the Oilers

[@JMach82]

It is, but that doesn’t mean you have to hate on the team that knocked yours out. It was a great series. I’m from Edmonton and an Oilers fan but if we lost, I would still go for the Canucks just to see a Canadian team win the Cup.
