[@anonymous134y]

as long oilers can prevent shots at skinner than they could be good. Most likely if oilers don't play pickard, they will lose because I doubt they will be able to restrict the amount of shots like they did in the last 2 games vs the nucks. Most likely dallas with their offensive powerhouse will beat the oilers due to them getting more than 20+ shots against AHL skinner.

[@holycommunists9159]

They had the easiest opening two rounds on paper of all the playoff teams. Dallas finished in higher position and had much more challenging run. Could be a factor if Edmonton steals a couple early, but if they're down against Dallas a couple games early on I can't imagine they'll be anything but out.

[@BradSchoenfailed]

Huh ? They were the cup favourites for almost every hockey analyst.

[@ryans413]

I just want to mention everyone makes fun of Ceci but it was the players on that team that told Holland not to trade Ceci at the deadline because they all love that guy. Plus he has scored twice now in game 7s for the Oilers.

[@CC-of5xl]

I played sports with him growing up so I want him to succeed but without him they wouldn't have needed a game 7 to win in the 1st place.

[@MrGamman3yt]

Didn't they say that about a goalie now playing in the AHL?

[@giggitygoo5851]

It’s nice that he’s well liked, but that doesn’t mean he’s a good defenceman. Nurse gets a hyper inflated contract that continues to look worse and worse in part because he’s friends with McDavid. If it’s just a bunch of friends playing hockey then they never win the cup. Ceci should have been gone for a good shutdown defender, player opinions don’t mean diddly.

[@silverscreenwanderer]

Ceci is Edmonton’s Mr. Game 7

[@codychickadee5095]

Canucks fans should be damn proud, hell I'm proud of them and the fanbase. What a run for them. Let's go Oil baby!!

[@ipwinston]

I think the Oilers have something special brewing. My hope is that McDavid's lingering injury eases up a little and lets him get back to his goal scoring ways. Not for nothing that he got 100 assists this year, but if he was dealing with an injury that would explain why he prefers to pass right now. All that aside, the Oilers defense deserves a lot of credit, keeping them in games that they had to right to be in, and protecting leads like no version of this squad has in the McDavid era. The special teams are both the best in the playoffs too, which makes the matchup with Dallas all the more interesting. Dallas is so well built and has so many answers, it will be interesting to see who steps up next for Edmonton. It will also be the first time in this playoffs that Edmonton enters a series as the true underdog, which hopefully means they play a lot more like they did in Game 6 and the first two periods of Game 7; hungry, high percentage shooting and scoring, just fast and fun hockey. Let's be honest, Edmonton playing for the cup would be more interesting than any of the alternatives. You know you'd want to watch just a little bit more.

[@mopsandmuscles7855]

McDavid's reaction was a combination of being beaten by Canucks all season long, including some embarrassing losses, the stressful nature of a one-goal game 7, and the fact that his team has bought him some time to recover from his injury/illness. He hasn't looked McDavid standards at all so far, and I'm wondering if he knows that his team mates stepping up has given him the time to get back to his best for a serious test against the Stars.

[@kingtimothy901]

If Edmonton beats the Stars I genuinely think they will come into the cup finals as a very intimidating team. But all it really takes is Jake Oettinger to steal the series if he plays well as Bobrovsky did against Tampa. But Dallas has a great team, Edmonton needs to truly step up their game to beat them, and then the Panthers or New York in the finals. I'd love to see the cup go back to Canada but It will not be easy as all these teams are truly unbelievable.

Foegle & MacLeod namely. Though I think they've played well and most importantly they haven't allowed many GA.

I had seasons tickets for 4 years during which they won the league championships then went on to the Memorial Cup finals losing the first 2 but winning the next 2. When they moved away I started following the Canucks but, it's just futile. I don't believe that the Canucks will ever be allowed to win the cup. It's been over 50 years for the fans of the Canucks. How many teams have won the cup in just a few years in the league? The Canucks were cursed many, many years ago.
