mcdavid won the draw and game one is underway
the lineups are brought to you by Orcin for Edmonton as the shots right on from Kyle
Granlin and squeezed by Skitter the same 18 skaters couldn’t handle it and it’s played ahead
by Duchain to the line but not out by Robertson here’s Dry Cidle kicked out by Auter and Hav
this postseason they spend so much time does Edmonton in the offensive zone thomas Harley put
it right on Skinner he made a stick save man Perry knows how to play the game still and not speedy
at all but has such great hockey sense conor McDavid put it right on and on another big stop
venig got knocked behind the net by Zack Heyman be a little nervous that he’s going to break
out for a fivegoal series well here he walks right around Essa Lindell and after Uttinger
stops that look at the speed and the drag cool move aer stops that and then he’s got to get Zack
Heyman on the rebound as Heyman always around the front of the net on the WMAN his defense partner
went crashing toward the net edmonson carrying the play here early heyman passed it off nan Hopkins
didn’t get a lot on the shot labushkin pinches in then it went past Sam Steel he gets it back from
Marchman marchment nice one touch pass down low sean put it right on the stick here’s Hint who has
three power play goals tied for the playoff lead ben centers one knocked down by Ren and then he
put it in the crease and it was swept away from harm running out of real estate at the blue line
as he’s harassed by Johnston mcdavid trying to spin in the high slot he stumbled down now Dryidle
scores leon Didle makes it one- nothing Edmonton play alive here look Wyatt Johnston’s got him
in position but his his stick isn’t on the puck dry Cidle uses his size to shield the puck keep
it in the zone and then as he’s he comes around the outside he gets inside of Johnston again
no match physically here for Johnston as he’s got doesn’t have the stick strength to stop the
entire East will be on TNT and we’ll have every game of the Western Conference Final either on
ESPN or ABC sunday game three in Edmonton is on ABC an afternoon game mcdavid tried to wrap
around odder held the post now it’s on net and the puck was free with Nen Hopkins right out
in front nuttinger down and out made some big stops here’s another one here as he gets the
left pad out on this rebound darnell Nurse Clingberg for dry side lost the handle it might
be a breakaway tyler Sean in alone he scores dry Cidle comes off the draw he’s got this
planned play to get the puck as he turns along the blue line he loses it and Sean jumps on it
three months out with hip surgery sean’s taken some time to get his legs and quickness back
wman went to line him up and miss clingberg did not miss and now Robertson 35 goals in the
regular season centering pass and a great chance for Wyatt Johnston from the slot and Cody Cece
came over from San Jose for a couple of draft picks here’s McDavid flying in save made by
Otinger and then the rebound by Nan Hopkins to cut McDavid off so he can’t get all the way
across the front of the net that’s breathtaking he goes rolled it in tried to get it in deep and
whiffed on it pulax floated bushard sends it a dry sight now 15 goals in games one almost another
left pad save made byer edmonton in these playoffs 6 for 24 on the power play but as Ray said 0 for
14 on the road six for 10 at home and going back to the end of the regular season they’re open for
their last 25 power plays away from Rogers plate it comes right to Nan Hopkins and he scores
fortunate ricochet right to Ryan Nen Hopkins the Oilers take advantage of it mcdavid to Dry
Cidle on the entry that’s a tough catch by Dry Cidle but he controls the puck and as McDavid
reaches through he wants to find Cory Perry in the middle of the ice the Stars deflected
away and it comes right to Ryan Nan Hopkins and Todd Coulson circles tried to center it was
blocked by Harley bousard played it back for Dry Cidle it comes to Buchard from Nan Hopkins and he
scores evan Bard a perfect shot top corner 3 to one Edmonton gets in the playoffs and it’s like he
finds another gear he locks into a game that has to be played at this time of the year and more
inexperienced Bousard would have one time that puck here he holds it and takes it into a closer
shooting position and this is the third goal dallas does have three third period comebacks in
these playoffs three of their eight wins after they had just four third period comeback
wins the entire regular season hasten and scores through a screen a power play goal
in a one-goal game 23 minutes an assist this power play marker gets by Matias Yanmar
when he misses the block you can see clearly that Skinner looks to his left around the screen
of Marchman he never catches up to this granland will go back to Hasten in the simple wrist shot
more power play goals than they had in the Western Conference final against Edmonton last year in
six games edmonson trying to get it back quickly and a save made by Attinger shot attempt by Sean
deflected wide off the stick of Walman then a good stick on defense by Bushard hastin and moved it
quickly now it hit the crossbar the official on the goal line said no goal and now he’s being
overruled granland the power play goal opens up the power play male Granland shot it’s going
to hit the back bar you see the netting pop off jason Robertson with the screen skinner can’t
catch up to it and Granland who had a hat-tick against Winnipeg earlier in the last series
scores the second power play goal for the Stars dallas has excelled on the power play chance
for Dallas to take the lead duchain dropped it back hasten and moved it quickly brandon in shot
comes to Duchady and a wide open goal and they score one of these guys going to jump out
for the Dallas Stars and it’s Matt Duchain this shot misses the net it hits the outside
of the net nobody seems to know where it is oh that’s a really nice play by Prope Hint
hint is going to shoot the puck he’s lying on the ice but when he sees that Duchain is
right behind him he leaves it for him and Duchain watch Hint he just picks his stick
up the original save he had to get out of the way as they so often do when they really
need one here’s Sean off the cross ice feed from Marchman duchaane tried to throw it out in
front duchain threw it in front it cars to Sean that one goes up in the air and a takeaway by
Hasten in ahead for Bishell with some room across the line four on two for the moment bishell down
low stopped at point blank range now Aander Kane stcher did well to stay on side had the stretch
to do it out in front backhand by Connor Brown wound up off the back wall but minus three
tonight a power play explosion by Dallas to turn a 3-1 deficit into a 4 to3 lead here they
come again steel with Sean steel back hands and scores sam Steel has moved to the forefront
he played a key role in the win over Winnipeg in game six here he takes a loose puck
his back hand is stopped by Skinner as he gets into the middle of the ice and
it bounces off of the Skinner comes out of the net they pull the goalie down by
two 320 to go and that is shot into the empty net essel the length of the ice
an empty net goal and it’s six to three ethel Lindell will get the loose puck and
from about 185 ft bullseye fans on their feet this is going to be back-to- back wins
in game ones in these playoffs after they had dropped eight straight playoff game ones
before they were victorious against Winnipeg in Manitoba in the first game of round two

Skinner, Skinner – Chicken Dinner!
Conner McDavid is the new Captain Serious since Jonathan Toews , he never smiles just like the latter. P.S. Toews has won Stanley Cups so maybe the new Captain Serious can follow his lead.😊
Go Oilers Go.
Vegas fan here. Rooting for Stars and de boer for certain.
Well Oilers that was a cluster flop!
USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!
SAM STEEL BABY!!
Omg,edmonton should finally buy new gk and defenders or leon and connor should move to normal team
Well, Edmonton sure shat the bed.
Can’t stand the Oilers. As a Kings fan, pull this one out Stars! I wanna see McDavid and the Soilers crying in the locker room just like last year! FTO’s!
Prime example of why my home country Canada hasn't been able to win in over 30 frigging years 😡
Mcdavid lookin kinda washed
And Oilers fan channels were saying the Stars have no depth…
Goalies playing on their knees should be abolished. To me they look lazy or since they are all 7 feet tall the legs get tired standing up?
Play La Bamba!
It is funny that all remaining teams have atleast 1 Fin 🇫🇮 player in their team. So ill be celebrating lord stanley this year no matter who wins!! Go Suomi!!🍻💪🇫🇮
Dallas STARS name has a new meaning. You don't have 2-4 star players in the group. All of those guys are truly stars. 6 goals, 6 players. In the hole playoff season they have like 13 shooters. That's depth.
What a comeback!!! Watch out for the Leafs next year.
Who is that horrible announcer that screams all the time. The grease pigs lost
Give jeff Skinner a chance instead of cocky look at me show up in different wheels take stupid penalties like he deserves a shot
Play Rodriguez like give him a chance Skinner a AHL TENDER he s proven that
so ein spiel darf man nicht verlieren..unnötig
Bro how about you be quiet the Oilers are better than any other team including the flames
Oilers need to put Pickard back in net again.
Go Stars
I wish they'd let the team announcers do these games, and the home broadcast is the one that gets nationally televised. The playoff announcers are painful to listen to for 10 minutes of highlights, let alone a full game. And its the playoffs, the brawl at the end IS a highlight, why are we cutting that??
McDavid to Toronto 2026
Every one of dallas's goals could've been stopped if he just stayed on his feet and didn't move
Yay
had to leave for a beer league game after the 2nd. i was shocked when i heard what happened oilers looked in control
Oilers are an insanely overpowered offensive team. But the defensive ability is house league.
Sorry skinner but you’re not a playoff goalie. Need Picard back.
Now we need robertson, hintz and others to start scoring too. Then cup is ours! Go STARS!
Edmonton, you take a 3-1 lead into the third and somehow get blown out 6-3. Utter embarrassment. The cup isn't coming back to Canada this year, not with this Edmonton team.
Stars are champions
Wow 5 score in 3rd period unbelievable
EDMONTON BETTER NOT LOSE ANOTHER GAME UNLESS IT'S GAME 5
Skinner kept them in the game ..
didnt realize i tuned into commercials interrupted by highlights
Wasn’t the second goal for Edmonton offside?
oilers lose : fan : it is skinner's fault !
McDavid is probably going to demand 20 million to stay in Edmonton after this cup-less season. They are going to have to get rid of some players to make room for his salary.
GO STARS!!!!
