If you lived in Dallas you might realize that Dallas is deep in talent, have a decent Coach, and when Ottenger steps up his game, the Stars are pretty much unstoppable and they get very little recognition by the Media and NHL teams.

Yeah, I was going to say that too. Edmonton had a lot of chances, 3 posts, some great pressure. But man... Dallas was merciless. The forechecking was great, the goaltending was great, the presence in front of the net was great, the grinding and fighting for possession was great. You really can't ask for a more complete game.

[@thomasmuller546]

easy to say after a 5:0 but honestly the statement is not correct. edmoton had plenty of chances, some different plays, not hitting posts, pickard getting 2-3 saves more and its a different result. i dont say dallas didnt earn and deserve the win and they of course played strong, but "unbeatable" is to much.

[@user-qg2po6uv2d]

Жалкое зрелище в исполнении Нефтяников! Я думаю, что Пикард должен быть доволен за то, что самые опасные моменты у его ворот были созданы своими же защитниками. Особо эпичной показалась распасовка в своей зоне на первых минутах игры, когда был пропущен первый гол. Довольно значимой является неспособность атаки во главе с Макди преодолеть (а может проломить) надёжную игру вратаря соперников. Так было и против Рейнджеров, так было и против Тампы с Флоридой, так было сегодня и много когда ещё. Без внятной игры защитников, понимающих когда можно пасоваться в своей зоне, а когда просто выбросить шайбу, без топового вратаря, на чашу претендовать не следует. В этом сезоне так точно. Нефтяники откровенно разочаровывают, увы!!!

[@chrissmall1246]

Dallas out worked Edmonton and finished well. The Oil had a tough go, ya some costly mistakes but 3 posts and multiple great scoring chances but nothing was going in. Yep Ottinger played great too but the moment changed when Edmonton couldn't convert early, then Dallas just shut them down. As an Oilers fan I would have to say the Oilers got schooled on execution and their hockey gods were having a nap lol. Thats hockey.

[@ivodozi]

So how do you explain all those 2nd period giveaways? Perry having an option to pass it and was like meh, I’ll just shoot? Or the fact that without out McDavid or Drai (ya he was terrible tonight but so was the entire Oiler D) the oilers would not be in a playoff position? The oilers are just bad and don’t deserve to be in the position they are in. 4 and done come playoff time.

[@steelcom5976]

​@@ivodozi Out of the last 36 NHL seasons the Cup has been awarded only 8 times to the best seasonal record (a terrible win record of 22%), which tells you that it's the team that can dig deep in the intensity of the Playoffs that wins it. Just last season Bruins had 135 points, the most ever, and lost in the first round to a team 42 points below them. Dallas looked good and had good execution, but I didn't see the fire of a win-it-all team.

[@ivodozi]

@@steelcom5976 I’m not talking about the Stars. I think star fans themselves will tell you the chance for thier team to win it all is slim at best. Oiler fans on the other hand, believe that this team is the absolute best in all of hockey. In reality, no goaltending and very questionable defense means this team is a first round exit waiting to happen.
