In that first period i marveled at the speed of the Oilers top players .. holy heck.. i was honestly preparing for a moment for dallas season too end in my mind. They need to pace themselves better it looked like they just burned themselves out and let the emotions drain them to me and then dallas took over. This is kind of what dallas does they grow stronger and stronger and wear teams down. It was a great game. What was up with the ice at the beginning of the 3rd period ? Everybody was falling down and the puck was bouncing like a rubber ball it was wild... 🤷‍♂️ Anyways This series isnt over. Goodluck in game 2 oiler fans. Your home crowd is excellent ! Loudest ive heard.

I really hate how so many people just think nurse needs a new partner like that's going to fix him. No nurse needs to go. I don't give q shit if he is considered a "leader". The guy seems to refuse to make a hit, constantly just waves his stick at the guy and gets walked around so much. Ceci, while he's for sure not perfect and makes some bad plays as well but Jesus man nurse is just as bad and almost worse. Ceci has scored some huge goals for us. Nurse has done Jack shit. That penalty he took with 4 mins left was an absolute gut punch. 9 fucking mill is pathetic for this guy.

Ekholm was bad tonight. Vinny was decent/sub par but everyone sucked so no fingers should be pointed

Fourth goal doesn’t go in if skinner uses his stick to poke check the puck

I have medical stuff Tuesday early and Nurses were Nurses. First period was great. Second period we were all tied up after a late Henrique goal (nice to see Rico back and scoring). Third period was, ah, a problem. I don't know why Edmonton pulls their goalie, the opposition just gets an empty netter because our defenders seem to ignore the goal and are gotten around like pylons (sigh). Robertson got a hat trick. Heiskanen got the empty netter. Johnson also scored. Just looking at the stats, Edmonton shot more, hit a LOT more, had 7 fewer blocks and 10 fewer Takeaways. Everything else is really a wash. Both PP's at 0%. Both PK's at 100%. Take care all.

Cmon, be real about Skinner...He isn't THE main reason they lost, but he's part of the reason...He shit the bed when it most mattered, as usual.

[@Dawg476]

Nuge needs to eat quite a bit of blame on this game. Nuge softest clearing attempt on the first goal then just inexplicably falls over reaching for the puck on the second goal then doesn’t get to Robertson fast enough to prevent the goal.

[@cammackey8259]

Also, am i the only one who was thinking what a sloppy hockey game this was? Not like playoff hockey battles but nobody could handle the puck, players on both teams just falling and losing a stick handle. Was weird, was there a concert or something at rogers place last night?

[@josephtylerdc9830]

Yeah that first 10 minutes of the third period it looked like they were playing on cemented or something.. puck was bouncing around players were constantly losing their edges and falling down.. it was really weird to watch. I definitely noticed that.

[@jaydendorchester4323]

I'm also just fed right the fuck up of these guys blowing leads like this. Ffs it's just ridiculous, they get these leads and decide to stop playing and sit back trying to kill leads off. Especially after 20 mins of awesome hockey, to think they can sit back for 40 mins against this Dallas team. They need to wake up here cause this isn't just a game or 2 it's night after night. The exact same shit as game 2. They play a perfect road period and go up 2 and well stop playing qnd boom lose the game. Skinner let in that horrible goal in the 3rd but I will not put this one on him tonight, he was solid. Either way just had to vent a bit tonight lol I still believe! Let's fucking go boys!!!

[@shadowspeedx8585]

Oilers deserved the loss this time

[@rob621]

Oilers just suck. This series is over holland screwed up with nurse and campbell and now the team is garbage
