Razor Thin. Stars edge Oilers to tie WCF.

Strudwick, Brown and Rishaug break down the Oilers 3-1 loss to Dallas in Game 2.

I agree with Struds great move by nobs to challenge the refs and killing them with kindness cuz yelling never works he didn't embarrass the refs just spoke the truth with kindness. Perfect!

Like how Struddy shut down negative nellie Shauger.

What coach K said there was kind of like my grandmother saying to my mom at Christmas dinner " you know dear.... I'm not trying to tell you how to cook, but some people might have put more salt in the potatoes"

[@Siggi395]

Maybe it was a blessing in disguise... if they swept Dallas, might have too much rust when they meet Florida. Perfect planning by Coach K.

They stopped hitting, they lost. It's really that simple.

So snowflake, post game is asked about officiating and he very softly, very meekly, states that gee wiz officiating is so different in playoffs, more infractions are let go. NEWS FLASH ROOKIE, hitting, which u state is not important, also ramps up. Coaching in playoffs much different then regular season. Coffee needs to tune this pacifist in and get all players, 71 are u listening, up to the reality of playoff, big boy, hockey. If not we may be able to get past stars but Rangers or Panthers will run us out of the rink.

The Oilers are broken to pieces, Connors hurt,Leons hurt, Eckholms sick, Nurse is hurt,Kane is hurt,Henrique is hurt.....Counterpunching takes a lot out of you. He who hits first usually gets hit the least. Mactavishes Oilers would destroy the Field in this Era. Oilers "projected" a defense-first style in the Regular Season...but that projection is now being tested in real time... so the question becomes...is throwing/dumping the puck away voluntarily really the same as being a DEFENSIVE type hockey club that can shut down an opponent 5x5 or is it just a "projection" or optical illusion of DEFENSE. Shauger...Kris had unofficial Anonymous online help getting Chitty-Chitty- Bang-Bang up and running ok....but from here on in we need to make real changes because our Projection will not work for us any more. Fire and Passion are usually inserted into the conversation here but Mumford made that completely impossible. So good luck with all that Fellas because when you bring pacifist Spin-Doctor Kooks like Mumford into the sacred Dressing Room and by Proxy the Players headspace you surrender your Chance to be Champions to the management of experiential inner growth like a Hippie. The Barbarians are at the Gate and the Oilers are going flat-out making Crumpets and Tea for everybody as they fill the Peace Pipes with Hopium..

The refs arent evening things up, the penalties were 5-1 in game 1
