Oilers PP could win them a game, and the Stars tend to start series slow. But in the end, I got the Stars in 6.

Oilers in 6

LETS GOOOO

 

[CycloneSweep]

Gonna be so quiet on hf when edmonton wins this series, haters might finally call it quits

Oilers don’t claim his fan.

 

[le_sean]

Another way to look at it is without Connor going supernova oilers won the series. Cause for concern for Dallas as I don’t the see that happening in two series.

They barely beat a 3rd string goalie. Talbot is also pretty much a 3rd string goalie.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

Apparently we are massive underdogs so out of spite I voted Edmonton in 4

 

[Muffin]

Dallas is the obvious favorites on paper, we'll see how it plays out.

 

[CaptainUgly]

Dallas is deep and battle tested. This series will comedown to goaltending. Otter can be had. Picked Dallas in 6

 

[Crabapple]

I’m getting Vietnam war flashbacks here

 

[Half Clapper]

I see this going 7 games, but I got the Stars coming ahead in the end.

 

[ohcomeonref]

Oilers finally playing against an NHL goalie and good forward depth? lol good luck

Completed missed all the Nucks-Oil games eh?

 

[Eternal Leaf]

There is a noticeable difference in depth and quality.

I don't think it's hate to say the Stars will win comfortably but of course, playoff hockey isn't played on paper.

 

[millax]

As long as Dallas doesn't get to use shin pads like this the Oilers will be okay.

 

[Nasti]

Stars in 5.

Sucks for McDavid. Even if the Oilers somehow win I don’t see them getting past the Rags or Panthers anyways

Shesterkin
Bobrovsky
Oettinger











Skinner

Yeah that great Canucks depth of having to play Pettersson with Mikheyev. Such a difficult thing to do. And a goalie that played like 5 NHL games. Wow, super tough.

 

[Kcb12345]

It's the playoffs anything can happen, even if Dallas are the favorites you never know. Provided both teams stay healthy, I'd like to say the Stars win in 6 but idk. McDavid and Draisaitl can and will take over some games and Oettinger and the PK will need to be very good. Also Bouchard is a Star-killer usually

I feel Edmonton will win the special teams battle easily so Dallas will need to win 5v5.

No offense to the Canucks, but this matchup is much more entertaining than that boring style the Canucks were playing.

Lot of people saying Vegas and Colorado were tougher opponents, and that's probably true especially on paper, but let's see how the Stars hold up health-wise in this series after those last 2 really tough ones. Hintz got injured and honestly will probably miss some games I feel in this series. Good thing the Stars got some rest at least

Should be a fun one. Lot of people saying Stars in 4 clearly haven't seen the Stars play a game 1 yet. Haven't won one since 2020

 

[Deen]

Is McDavid's knee/leg jacked up again?

 

[PromisedLand]

Stars in 3

[Monsieur Miz]

Dallas are rested and McDavid looks cooked.

+ Skinner sucks.

Dallas in 6.

Yeah I totally get what your saying but could you scoot over for a second?

Dallas is going to sweep the Oilers!

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Dallas is going all the way, at least to the cup final. The only team I see beating Dallas is Florida. This same Stars team made the final 4 last year so it’s still very fresh. They are better this year though.

 

[LightningStorm]

LETS GOOOO

This moment was actually a blessing in disguise for the Stars. They had a breakthrough year that season, finishing #2 in the West when the Avs/Wings rivalry was in full force. This upset really highlighted how much they needed a goalie though, and that offseason they reached the Avs/Wings tier after signing Belfour. Won the next 2 President's Trophies and the 1999 Stanley Cup.

 

[PromisedLand]

just curious....

Benn Vs Nurse

drop the gloves who wins?

do they even drop the gloves?

 

[Bounces R Way]

Think the Stars are the much deeper mature hockey team and that they'll take this series.

I don't really expect it to be all that short though. Probably 6 games, maybe 5 if Skinner stinks it up badly in 1 where the Oil play well.
Should be fun to watch Benn put Kane on a leash

 

[Sensatauro]

Struggling to give Edmonton a game.

Dallas in 4.

Dallas had to go through Vegas and Colorado. Edmonton had to go through LA and a Demko and later Boeser-less Vancouver.

Thanks, you're legitimately always wrong, so I know how to profit. Bet Oilers to win Game 1, then double. Through game 4. Just need 800 in bank to get at least $100. That's 12.5 interest free tax free income. Zero chance Dallas sweeps. You're worse then Drake for predictions. That's a tough thing to do, but here you stand. I'll quote this when I win with a bet receipt.
