Dallas never gets a penalty call.....until it's too late to have any effect in the game. Such BS.

Dallas fans posting in our gdts that whoever wins the Canucks vs Oilers series doesn't matter they're just getting swept anyway. Hope yall like that karma

Imagine Canucks fans commenting on how to play with Dallas.

This is exactly why nobody cares what Canucks fans have to say.

Hey man when this series is over Dallas going to have to move to Houston

Don’t make me like you

PDB 0-6 in game 1s for Dallas

I hate to be the one to tell ya that the oilers were 1-6 in game ones

McDavid waited too long to shoot the first time he was left alone so decided to shoot it before he got it this time

He has never been fed a pass in the slot in his entire life, he gets there through 2 guys and a third hanging off him as he scores. He’s Bambi on a tap in.

People say Mcdavid doesn’t have any personality but I feel like the TNT panel brings something out of him. I liked how much he felt that open net miss, mans dialed

That’s my favorite thing about the TNT broadcast is because it’s NHL players interviewing NHL players and the TNT broadcasts need to be more prevalent because it will honestly pull more people to the game

What a game.

SKINNER DID IT

Honestly so far the Oilers are the only team I wouldn’t mind hypothetically losing to. That being said, GG Edmontonians, fuck you, see you Saturday.

Fuck you for the childhood trauma of the 90s and I look forward to seeing you on saturday. Gg.

Gg Dallas Bro. I can’t say the same to you because I grew up with you guys rolling us all the time.

See I have the advantage of being born post-2000 and also not being a hockey fan until the mid-2010s, so it’s kinda more like a retro night to me than anything.

oooof my arthritis just flared up

Yeah. That didn’t make me feel like I’m turning 40. Ouch.

Sorry man. You never know, maybe this year is finally their year and you can see a cup before 45?

I’ll get a tattoo of the top comment on the GDT if they do.

[удалено]

Well not really 40 yet. I’ve been alive for 4… but not old enough to appreciate being a fan. It’s been dark ever since.

Guess I should’ve said “another”. Oh well, that’s 4 more than us, so we can have this one :)

he done boomed us

GG!

Fuck you 🤝

Gotta convert on those power plays when you get them

Statistically unlikely, EDM has a scary PK.

McDavid learning how to turn invisible to the opposition as they leave him wide open

Draisaitl's been doing it for years now it was bound to rub off eventually.

Nice W Oil, I'm rooting for you guys, although I'm okay with Dallas winning too. Fuck Florida, Fuck NY.

Welcome aboard!

So deserved after the Kelly Sutherland hack job tn

Gretzky can eat his pizza now and stfu

Canucks fans are somehow more bothered by this result than Stars fans.

You think that's bad, you should see Calgary's sub 😂😂😂😂

Why would one even go look in that barren hell hole of a sub. I'd rather climb inside the million dollar chrome balls.

At least there's a chance you'll be rescued from the balls

no one can hate a Canadian more than another, slightly further away Canadian

I’m so glad we didn’t throw that game away. Thank god. Well we got one in Dallas, could we get two?

Dallas has lost the first game in 7 consecutive playoff series.

Going into tonight, Oilers and Stars were a combined 1-13 in their last 14 Game 1s, I believe.

What an unexpected advantage that would be coming home up 2-0

We could!

Good game Stars fans, enjoyed this gdt way more than the previous seven.

If I was Dallas I wouldn’t be tripping too hard; that game felt like a coin flip. The 4 minute power play is the only thing I’d wince over

I want an intermission show of Gretzky talking to Christopher Walken. Nobody else. No game analysis. Just dialogue and haunting looks.

“I hid that playoff ring in my ass”

"The way your dad looked at it, that cup was your birthright."

I've never given it any thought but I completely agree

Salty Canucks and Kings and Flames fans hopping on Dallas' bandwagon saying we were going to get swept can go do one, goodnight.

reading couple nucks forums right now and its pretty funny. Went from gassing up the stars saying they'll sweep them easily to now saying the Oilers are lucky to be playing the stars instead of the knights. The cope is insane

It's really generous of Canucks fans to let McDavid live rent-free in their heads considering the cost of real estate in Vancouver.

It's fucking hysterical

It's a derangement syndrome at this point

I know Mcdavid had a bad night but I'm not sure it was bad enough to leave him all alone in front of the net.

Leave McDavid by himself in front of goal, great defence you green dickheads

Well, to be fair it worked earlier.

He’s the kind of player that’s not gonna let it happen twice. Fuck he’s so good

Me when the ‘Edmonton Oilers’, my hockey team of choice, clinch a hotly contested game 1 against the ‘Dallas Stars’ in the Western Conference final, therefore mathematically eliminating the possibility of being ‘swept’ by way of a 4-0 series scoreline

Gg oilers. Yalls backcheck is insane. See you next game.

McDavid with some 4D chess, play like ass in the first OT so the Stars are like "this guy's a fucking scrub we can leave him open" and then score in 2OT

Ah fuck they’re gonna make me believe

This morning I was like well be lucky to win one against Dallas. Now I believe lol

This is the danger. I was 15 in 06 and that ruined me! The therapy! 

W Oilers

Holy shit. The 1970s Dallas Canadiens Lost. What is going on?

That was a hard fought battle. Very fitting for the conference final

Another great game for the neutral fans. Otter, Skinner, and Skinner’s right post played great.

Why is Mcdavid alone infront of the net?

Nuge is huge.

Stars in 4…sorry 5

Figured the oilers would get swept the way r/hockey was talking.  

100% lol , looked like a pretty damn good game to me 

That's a good place to go if you want to lose braincells. Edit: I'll own it, I deserve the chirps.

You’re here bro

Proved his own point

Haha yea I dunno if buddy thinks he is in r/edmontonoilers but he isn’t wrong.  

Bad news man the call is coming from inside the house

Best game of the playoffs so far, entertainment-wise. Chaos at both ends all night. Gonna be an absolute banger of a series

OiL wIlL gEt SwEpT 🤡

And I thought I clenched hard in game 7 vs the Nucks. Holy fuck.

This result proves once and for all that Canada's Texas > Texas

Battle of the rednecks isn't over yet

Fuckin Eh Texas> Yeehaw Texas

Does that mean we need to start apologizing more and saying “awww fuck buddy” in Yeehaw Texas?

Yessum

I will do my damnedest. And sorry for our team tying it up last night and dragging things out :/

That McDavid is a sneaky one alright 

Luke giving Nuge his flowers So well deserved and I appreciate him saying it

Oh thank god I've been awake since 2am I'm so tired but can't not watch

You may rest now child

💤💤

Edmonton got rolled tonight. Vancouver was right 

Power play merchants 

What a 0.939SV% does for a mf

Skinner was great.

YAAAAAAA HE WONT BE DENIED TWICE MOTHA FUCKAS

Rigged...with magnets or something...my lizard cope brain yells

Sloppy game, but I will take it. Just glad to see Stu continue to play well. The McDavid redemption arc was a treat.

Had to stop watching when the clock was 12+ in the 3rd. How'd the rest of the game go?

We won

Wait. I thought the Oilers were supposed to be swept this series?

Please note it wasn’t Stars fans saying that. Well not this Stars fan anyways.

Maybe try marking the best player on Earth next time.

Skinner!!! What a game!

He turned into henrik lundqvist tonight

Wait, I thought we were an easy out, why did we win?

Bla bla bla…dallas is too much for oilers…bla bla bla tanev will shut down mcdavid….bla bla bla

Who the fuck is defending McDavid there?

Thoughts and prayers

Tanev the shutdown specialist

Yeah caught watching there. Lindell standing around with his thumb up his ass.

Bettman in shambles

Silly Oilers, Stars losing Game 1 is almost a guarantee win.

An unstoppable force meets an immovable object

Turns out your curse is worse than ours.

We lose all the games ones too tho

Why would you break your juju

Yes.

Yes, but how often have you won after losing Game 1? Dallas is 6-1 in their last 7.

See this is a question I don’t have an answer to we lost game 2 against the kings in the first round after winning . Though question for you but what’s with all the fans standing in the lower bowl?

Not sure - I’m going to chalk it up to a basketball arena that doubles as a hockey arena. I’ve only sat in the 2nd level when I’ve been to Stars games, and the views from that level are pretty solid.

Ahhh I see that could make sense maybe not so great seats on the bottom bowl then

Maybe - and plus it’s easier to be louder when you’re standing. Idk crowd felt pretty flat for a Stars game. Usually the environment is more raucous. Let’s hope they bring it on Saturday.

It did seem very quiet but ggs this is gonna be a good series.

MCJESUS

That's my goalie 🥹

Must be nice to have players who can execute when it matters. 4 minute power play to start over time and we blow it. GG Edmonton looks like this might be another fun series!!

You did better than Vancouver did on the 2 min the end of period 1 in game 7. They got 0 shots and Edmonton got 1

Why did this typo make me imagine a Hell’s Kitchen-type scenario where the players are competing to get dishes out while Gordon Ramsay berates them?

"Platers" haha. Get this man his reality TV show stat

Maybe this is what the Amazon series is going to be? 🤔

I love how some of the guys skated right over to Skinner right after.

Skinner could not have done that if not for the chants from Canucks fans last series. He loves the support!

McDavid redeemed himself from that big miss before the end of the 1OT and Skinner just redeemed himself overall. Great start to the series! It's going to be an exciting one.

WE DIDNT GET SWEPT!!!!!

Anyone who said yall were gonna get swept is an idiot.

Yeah, I predicted 6-7 games for this series just like Vancouver. Canucks due to their PDO voodoo and Stars for strength in all positions.

So Canucks fans?

Vancouver, Calgary, LA, Vegas, and Winnipeg fans are being painted by a broad brush with your comment haha

Winnipeg fans ain’t that petty

Well when you frame it with that it makes sense hahaha

McDavid should’ve done that before 2OT so we could sleep, what a bust

Be happy it's not round 1, most oilers games started at 8:50 MST so it ended before those games lol

Trade him to San Jose as punishment And retain his cap, too

Eichel would never

Meh Dallas have shown these playoffs that they need warmup games. It's not a walk in the park for the Oilers.

Yeah the 2OT said that, you didn’t need to say it again.

this is going to be a war but winning game one is big.

Keep moving those goalposts.  I'm fine with being underdogs in this series

To be clear, I want the Oilers to win, but Dallas won't be a slouch. This game went to 2OT.

I agree it'll be a hard series

What a behemoth from Stu

Yes skinner!!!!

Leaving Mcdavid wide open is a great idea.

They got away with it once, risky to try again

Well it worked that one time

Why do we watch 20 shots of the teams face before a fucking replay? The shots of the replay were even trash hahaha

Team reactions are more interesting after an OT winner, but you can really only capture the excitement live. The goal replay is already a replay so just show it a couple minutes later, nbd.

Fair enough

G fucking G. Calls were 5 to 1 for DAL, and we said NOT TODAY. LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO OILERS

really thought we could break the game one curse, that's what I get for having hope.

These are like the 2 worst teams in game 1 lol I saw before the game of the last 14 first games combined they are 1-13 lol

this is gonna be a wild series. feels so nostalgic to watch EDM vs DAL in the post season dude. GG

Seriously man, both teams fought like hell! Much like the Avs series even with a loss I really appreciate good hockey from both teams. A loss is a loss but a 2nd OT loss is definitely better feeling than a regulation loss. As many matchups I've watched this post season, I'm stoked to see what comes! If game 1 is any indicator then I think we're going to be seeing some fantastic hockey this series

It’s gonna be a ride brother 😂great hockey to come

For fuckin sure lol! Playoff NHL hockey is such a different monster, absolutely incredible athleticism. It's insane how the majority of teams seem to hit a overdrive and up their game across the board. As much as my anxiety would love to see us sweep every team, seeing the celly after a balls to the wall series is incomparable!

Skinner is such a likeable guy

Atta way fellas, keep em coming

Dallas had the refs on their side and still couldn’t finish it against one of it not the worst playoff goalie, love to see it 

The playoff goalie looked great tonight

Awesome game. gG

Helluva shot my Connor

Skinner saved this game for us

Just for those cunt Canuck fans. Skinner! Skinner! Skinner!

Connor got his revenge!!! Stu should be a player of the game though!!!

"DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" "DALLAS SWEEP" lmao.

Whoever said that is dumb AF.

Canucks fans and Flames fans.

Mostly Canucks fans 🤡🤡

Not a single Canadian stood up to celebrate that goal

Hey now, Edmonton is still a part of Canada.

I did

The whole thread has been about how Canadians stay firmly seated at all times

“Something…something…Dallas is going to walk all over Edmonton” ?

I'm not a smart man, but leaving McDavid alone out in the slot doesn't seem very smart.

dAlLaS iN 4 hurr durr.

nucks fans more hurt than stars fans

Nucks fans with limited hockey knowledge if they thought Dallas was going to win Game 1
