Game 7 OT Connor brown

[@trenchbaby526]

I was thinking he was gonna score game 7 cancuks but i guess this will do

[@HeavyMetalorRockfan9]

No that's gonna be in the SCF

[@makaio81]

camon brown is saving that for game 7 of the finals.

[@Westside33423]

The Voices of the Oilers, Love you guys ❣💯 Should be a barn burner!! 👏

[@billmills9991]

Great content gentlemen Tony Bob Jack let's go Oilers 🎉

[@shofforth1]

Reality is Oilers have to be tight on defence and really sharp on offence!

[@joelgrosschmidt5507]

Something about this playoffs feels like it’s just time. It won’t be easy, it won’t be odds on, I’d say we are the least rounded team of the final 4. But the playoffs aren’t about stats. Anyone can beat anyone, and let’s see who wants it more. Good luck boys

[@Conada1002]

Oilers in 6

[@cooper0009]

Nah, I will give completely unreasonable arguments to refute your statement. That is my reason. Stars in 2

[@codylabelle1705]

[@emh7963]

Jack is so good at his job

[@ClassicalSquaresoft]

Dallas is a scary team. They took out the cap abusing Vegas then Colorado who I thought was the stronger version of Edmonton. I hope Oilers can at least get to game 7.

[@dianedyck3474]

Vegas barely made the playoffs and they still took Dallas to 7 games…the avs have no defense or goalie and they lost nichuskin who’s a big part of the avs scoring….the oilers faced two very good defenses in the kings and the canucks …I don’t believe demko would have made the difference because silovs was remarkable first the canucks!…I believe the oilers only real weakness is in goal but we all know skinner can come up big at times!

[@bellyboyz512]

Lol you’re in for rude awakening bud

[@RideTheSkinner]

They haven't faced a better Coffey Defense. Wait and see what happens.

[@brainspout3447]

Thank you for the logical, realistic opinion, rather than fanboy banter filling the majority of this page.

[@bluethunder1951]

The team that makes the least turnovers and giveaways will win this series, the only thing that can throw that off is the quality of refereeing and off ice officials. Oilers in 6.

[@joetoh6675]

Besides the players already performing at a high level, Oilers can only advance if all forwards (McLeod and Foegele in particular) learn from Hyman and go to the blue paint, as Nuge has started to, and if all d-men learn from Ekholm and play smart both ways. And Skinner and Pickard have to keep sv% at least .910. And, knock on wood, of course they have to stay healthy, and avoid drugs and blood clots.

[@joetoh6675]

Tony you overdid the voice modulation a bit in the opening, which is a bit annoying. The closing sounded fine though, more natural. Always super-well groomed.

[@RideTheSkinner]

I really hope they pull out a series win. SCF baby!!!!

[@rburnett6266]

Oilers in 5...

[@dylanouellet7990]

Edmonton Oilers will beat the Dallas Stars in six games this round of the Stanley Cup playoffs

[@DmanDexter]

Man I hope your right. Go oilers

[@cooper0009]

I see your point. But what if, no?

[@frankfuda626]

You give Dallas to much credit , Edmonton in 5

[@TheKisj]

I sure hope so

You guys are all drunk if you think this will be easy. Give your heads a shake!

Let's Go Oilers!

[@user-bi6yf4hv9g]

Miro Heiskinen likes to rush the puck ALOT. The Oliers need to make a plan and make him pay, Catch him in the trolley tracks, or strip him of the puck and score on an odd man rush. G O G! Reply

[@zackarnault599]

LET'S GET THIS BREAD!

[@RickL_was_here]

Skinner somehow turns into a wall, and the Oilers have this. Otherwise..... I'd go with Pickard to start as he's the one who beat Dallas this year.

[@Lobbzombie]

I was hoping for the stars against Vegas, because I was worried about the oilers facing Vegas.......seeing now what level of hockey the stars are playing.....I kinda regret it. I wanna root for skinner, but he's no otinger. They gotta keep the defense tight, and not over commit on the forecheck. This is probably the biggest hurdle for them on the road to the cup.

[@michaelg1778]

Depth will be the Achilles heel of Edmonton. Unfortunately they don't stand a chance against the depth of Dallas. Their bottom lines will be wayyyy more productive, it'll be a major difference maker. Dallas in 4, maybe 5.

[@thewaxshop2029]

RNH!!!!!!!

[@uketube2916]

Wow. I guess Edmonton should just concede now according to these experts...

[@popsmoke99]

The way Dallas beat Vegas and Colorado ~ I dont think the Oilers are used to that Stars team.... The Stars are playing their best right now .. The Oilers are not playing their best... but they can.

[@georgeagioritis1283]

It’s about time you’re saying some good things about the Oil Jack.

[@JesMcdld-nb6pg]

I agree and the Dallas sports media are already saying oilers have no scoring well they must have watched a Simpson's episode of oilers but the scoring race in playoffs the oilers have the first 6 spots in race Drisitl has 20 plus points leading everyone then in 2 McDavid 20 plus points then the next 4 spots are oilers the Dallas stars too guy has 11 points I've seen this happen time and time again Vancouver fans got super cocky in oilers series and I've seen it before they hexed there team they lost final 2 games now Dallas is talking like oilers don't have a chance and how can sports media ever say something so stupid any of 4 teams has the same chance to win cup any of them to start being cocky and it's not regular people it's the Dallas sports media being cocky and it's a thing that showes you hockey experience to say anything bad about any of final 4 is insane example Florida blew every one away then flop in cup final against Vegas who oilers took to 6 series before then Vegas beat Florida 4 games to 1 or 2 not 100% sure but Vegas came in Florida was best all year beating everyone and got added kicked in cup final so don't count any team out till there series are over and don't put the curse on your team with ugly talk cause it does happen fans curse there team and they flop

[@colecadieux9370]

5 games oilers got this

[@dwightstorie1242]

They're going to "get it" alright! Oilers might steal 1 game in a series rout

[@DRINKPOPSNACK]

Execution in all 3 zones. This is literally an opportunity of a life time for some players. Let’s go oilers!

[@RR-hu9ht]

People are forgetting that the Avs were not the Stanley Cup Avs they were missing two big pieces so that hurt them. Oilers only chance, if Skinner plays great and stops the mental mistakes. 😮

[@dnice4145]

Yep, this avs team lost to Seattle last year. It always goes like this tho, people look at these series at surface level. The avs beat Winnipeg and everyone thought they'd be unbeatable. Don't get me wrong it will be tough whoever the oilers play going forward. But people talk as if Dallas has great depth (they do) while edmonton has none.

[@brainspout3447]

Barring major injuries (or endless phantom penalties), Dallas could literally win this series in 5 games. I know Edmonton can't control who they face in the playoffs, but I've never seen a team with an easier route to the conference finals. They've literally coasted through a couple of cream puff teams while Dallas has eliminated the last two Stanley Cup Champions. LOL...

[@vincemedak9734]

Actually Dallas could literally win in 4 games...and so could Oilers. Who played who in a previous round really has no relevance. One could just as easily argue that because Dallas had to play against "stronger" competition and play at the peak of thier abilities that they used up thier grade A games already and are more worn out while the oilers still have thier A games in reserve.

[@brainspout3447]
