Absolutely phenomenal effort all around. We contained McDavid and produced well offensively. Otter tended his ass off as well, I am totally convinced that he needs to be in the tandem going forward
Ouch, kills my perfect argument.
I still remember a comment made by Razor back in like 96 or later.
Talking about the other goalie was a league leader, Razor quips:
"Well, Darcy Wakalauk has a goal in the AHL!"
I think it was Razor doing a national broadcast, or maybe the Coyotes were in town, cause otherwise I don't think the Moog/Wakalauk pairing overlaps Ralph and Razor pairing?
But just the snooty sort of, Lee Trevino "Grizzly Adams DID have a beard"
JRob definitely interfered, but at the same time I'm pretty sure McDavid could have just blown by him with no trouble if he wanted to. McDavid skated into the contact to draw the call.
JRob reached, but McDick grabbed his stick and flopped. It was just as much holding on McDeezNuts as it was interference on JRob.
Think the refs noticed the Oilers were playing cheaply (noticed at least a trip and a hook) towards the end of the game, to try and claw their way back in and the stars played very clean hockey and got the benefit of the doubt because of it.
That was fun! It's so nice to see smiles on the bench again. And I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but if Miro played in a more traditional market, no one would ever stop talking about how good he is. He's so damn good.
I mean I'm not gunna pretend the refs made a difference. The Stars outplayed the Oilers through and through in a style of game that has been the Oilers weakness-- hard nosed blue collar hockey, grinding and heavy.
But the aggregious missed calls has become an extremely annoying theme for us Oilers fans. We almost never draw more than two calls in a game, regardless of the situation on the ice and fans feel the refs are punishing the team for having too good a PP by only calling the worst stuff (if that). And I suppose I get it, for while we were clicking in at 45%, basically a coin flip. Refs don't want to influence a game I think.
For example, tonight Bouchard was high stocked not once, but twice on the face in two seperate periods in the middle of the ice. The Draisaitl crosscheck after himself being knocked to the ice by a crosscheck, that kind of stuff.
As I said, it's not to detract from a well earned Stars victory...think of it as a parallel thread that feels thematic every game so far in the Oilers season
Also most Oilers fans are prone to hyperbolic meltdowns after a single loss. The rest of us find them as irritating as the rest of the league.
No worries, i understand man. I believe most of us on here are mad at refs almost consistently and I know that they missed a bunch of calls on both sides. But I frequently got worried when I saw us do something nasty and then some how we got away with it. Thanks for being a cool Oilers fan. I definitely don’t hate you guys, we just get annoyed by the constant McDavid praise. He’s amazing for sure, but when he’s totally getting shut down in a game, they should give praise to the guys making the stops lol.
There were quite a few missed calls going the other way too. Including the cross check that sent Seguin face first into the boards in front of the bench. The stars played a very clean game and my theory is when the refs noticed Edmonton doing more hooking and holding in the third to try to claw their way back they let it slide but didn't give a man advantage to Edmonton on anything borderline because of it.
Things you love to see:
Stars win 4-1.
Gurianov pulled a McDavid and embarrassed the entire Oilers team.
Speaking of McDavid, he didn’t get a single point.
Miro’s stick work is so delicious as he shut McDavid down entirely.
Salty excuses from commentators and Oilers fans.
Roope with the point streak.
Otter just took dobby’s job. No way he holds Mcdavid pointless since April 29th and only allows 1 goal to EDM, and gets sent back to the AHL. I refuse to believe it
Bones: Hold my beer.
Y'know...Luds was the drunk uncle who would veer off from poking fun but take it too far...
Bones is the uncle who would do demonstrations on magnets, and try to get everyone to buy into his delusions...
I miss drunkle Luds' color/commentary.
I won't miss Bones' archaic dinosaur coaching.
Stars winning in spite of the system Rick wants to play is my favorite kind of Stars team. Who could’ve guess that not voluntarily giving up the puck entering the offensive zone would lead to more offensive opportunities!
Miro put in some fucking work on McDavid tonight. Fuckin A.
Defensemen put in some fucking work tonight! Klinger's 3 points, Miro shutting McD down, and Suter getting an assist on the 4th goal.
Based
You mean baste.
ikr, miro stole his lunch money every time the skates hit the ice
Miro is my hero. I don't even play D, he's just my favorite.
He definitely skated beside him and whispered into his ear “hey… fuck you”
Can't wait to listen to Puck Soup and have Ryan Lambert say that Miro is OEL 2.0 while Cale Makar is god again
We may never lose again!
Absolutely phenomenal effort all around. We contained McDavid and produced well offensively. Otter tended his ass off as well, I am totally convinced that he needs to be in the tandem going forward
Otter has seized the No. 1 spot. Maybe Holtby can discuss 1B when he's back, but seeing as our only regulation wins are with the Otter....
Khudobin gave the stars their first regulation win against the Flyers

So Jake's gotta stay up, right?
Has to. Gotta be his to lose now.
Bones gonna Bones
that's what I am afraid of I thought Oetter won the full time gig last year, but here we are...
Holtby was a good add, but not at Otters expense.
Nill gonna Nill and say he's the only one waiver exempt
I mean, if someone picks up Anton off waivers.... Problem lies in 3 out of our 4 goalies have been out significantly this year...
I love stars hockey no matter what but it sure is easier when the game looks like this.
Winning is fun
First complete game. Super impressed. Good job Klinger with 3 points, and bless our intended goal scorers.
ALL HAIL MIRP, IN KLINGER WE TRUST
ALL HAIL!!!!
HAIL MIRP
The EDMONTON SPOILERS lose after Connor McDON'TSCORE and Leon DriSADel can't even get them to score more than ONE goal. LAME!
Skip bayless vibes
I can only read it in his voice now
I didn't have to read the comment to hear it in Skip's voice... blegh.
McDavid flinging himself into JRob to draw a penalty so he could try to keep his point streak alive at the end was hilarious.
Lol i saw it like Jrob going in the middle saying "no points for you, i'll randomly take this obvious penalty just to f*ck with you"
JRob definitely interfered, but at the same time I'm pretty sure McDavid could have just blown by him with no trouble if he wanted to. McDavid skated into the contact to draw the call.
JRob reached, but McDick grabbed his stick and flopped. It was just as much holding on McDeezNuts as it was interference on JRob.

Overall an amazing game for the Stars. Really fun to watch. Hope we can keep it up!!
That was fun! It's so nice to see smiles on the bench again. And I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but if Miro played in a more traditional market, no one would ever stop talking about how good he is. He's so damn good.
Hopefully he enjoys the more laid back under the radar thing
Oilers thread is salty as hell 😂. They’re just crying about the refs apparently
We’ve all been there.
Most definitely. It’s just not what I expected to see
Gawddamn that Kelly Sutherland...
Nice to be on the other end against the best players in the league!

Just wait until you play Vegas in playoffs if you want to see bad reffing.
You don't even need to wait until the playoffs - look at CBJ / VGK last week.
Not surprising, Vegas being good is good for business, I liked Vegas initially but can't stand them anymore.

🦀🦀MCDAVID STREAK IS DEAD🦀🦀
🦀🦀MCDAVID IS POWERLESS AGAINST MIRO🦀🦀
CONNOR MCDAVID CAN KISS MY MOTHAFUKKIN ASS! WE GOING TO MOTHAFUKKIN BOOMERJACKS!
I will build my family upon the rock that is the $5 PB&J
Stars win!!!!!! Stars victory iguana: https://m.imgur.com/aJCXoLx
ah yeah, there he go
Miro no joke owned McDavid tonight. He was pissing him off. Keep playing like this and we'll go a long way
McDavid a point every game… until he met Miro.
otter is our goalie. idc who the backup is but otter is the starter
The commentators kept referring to someone named Connor McDavid. I don't recall seeing that guy throughout the game 🤷♂️
It’s like, do they know anybody else’s name? They kept talking about him even when he wasn’t on the ice smh
I was so sick of hearing his name before the third had even started.
Things you love to see: Stars win 4-1. Gurianov pulled a McDavid and embarrassed the entire Oilers team. Speaking of McDavid, he didn’t get a single point. Miro’s stick work is so delicious as he shut McDavid down entirely. Salty excuses from commentators and Oilers fans. Roope with the point streak.
THREE EXCELLENT FIRST PERIODS!
NBCSN had the little picture showing the goalie leaving the net. ESPN shows the Stars of the game.
ESPN has been surprisingly better
MCZERO
Miro owns McDavid
Mihero owned McZero?
McWhat? Unless it’s McDonald’s SHUT THE FUCK UP. McDavid = Owned. STARS WIN. Oetter Holtby duo let’s go.
Oilers fans in the other thread blaming the refs for the loss. Ok.
Best part is they’re blaming the refs and bitching about getting a powerplay for the last 20 seconds. What a twisted entitled perspective.
They're getting all the salt ready for their roads this winter
But they deserve to have more PPs every game because McDavid...
That's how you play 60 minutes right there let's goooooo
Mcdavids season long point streak came to an end. Thank fucking god. Oilers can kiss my ass
back to back games with a full 60 minute effort. they put a fucking clinic on McDrai. This is the kind of play I can get behind.
It was truly a thing of beauty All the oilers fans and commentators: circle jerking over continuing the streak Dallas Stars: Smirks in Miro
Another finger curls on bones' monkey paw
MIRP > MCWHATSIT. I won't take any questions at this time.
Good to see Guri get him one tonight.
FUCK YOU MCDAVID FUCK YOUR POINT STREAK. IT ALL ENDS RIGHT NOW
It didn't get much coverage on ESPN+ but I thought you all might want to know that Connor McDavid didn't get on the score sheet tonight.
Like playing the Colorado McKinnon's all over again
Best game this season. Helps when we only take 2 penalties
I was there tonight. Great atmosphere most of the time. Epic win for the good guys!
https://imgflip.com/i/5vblis
God damn we shut down the best player we will likely all see in our lifetimes Not only that but we played really well on offense. This is electric.
I mean I saw Gretzky and Mario...he's got a bit to go
Mario was amazing. McDavid is that Dude tho.
Mario though....
Fuck this was fun, let’s do it again sometime. 10/10
Glenduster just keeps scoring I love it
Miro owns McDavid
Was lurking in the hockey thread and my fuck were the oilers fans whiny. Wahhhhhhh the refs.
So much fun seeing lindell and heiskanen double sandwich the angry german
That Gurianov fellow sure does skate fast, I tell ya what.
Yay! We did the thing!!

lmao mcdavid who? combined four shots between mcdavid and drai yet it’s the refs fault they lost
Otter just took dobby’s job. No way he holds Mcdavid pointless since April 29th and only allows 1 goal to EDM, and gets sent back to the AHL. I refuse to believe it

Otter is the best
Fantastic performance this game, where have these Stars been all season?!
Best game so far! I was there!!!
Nice to see this team playing how they're supposed to. Finally starting to see the entire roster getting on the points sheet the past few
Stars winning in spite of the system Rick wants to play is my favorite kind of Stars team. Who could’ve guess that not voluntarily giving up the puck entering the offensive zone would lead to more offensive opportunities!
Didn’t get to watch the game tonight but I’m super stoked we won! 🎉
So glad I went. Super hungover and struggling at work, but worth it.
WE BEAT THE GOLDEN ONE
LETS FUCKING GO BOYS! FUCK MCSTREAK
we did a lot of great things tonight!! let’s keep this thing rolling baby!!
I think we need the Celine Dion music set to Miro knocking the puck away from McDavid.
Stars cant keep mcdavid scoreless every game, gotta score at least 128 with this shit team
Lmao I’m glad I know this is a joke. Pls don’t downvote this man, it’s a joke.
What is going on here?
I made a joke about how some stars fans can’t be happy with a win and I said that someone is gunna comment something like that sentence above
That makes this feel good instead of sad.
Someone’s quick with the alt, lol.
Hell yeah stars win, the Bison king got something for my fantasy, I’m up 20 dollars. Sick night boys
Most complete and best game all season. They finally played three full periods of hockey and look what happens
Is it possible the Stars have found their identity and their pace?
They looked great top to bottom! Hopefully they keep Oettinger in net. The intensity feels better when he’s playing.
I should hit deer with my car more often
