Stars in 3

 

[Hockeylife2018]

Haven't paid much attention to Dallas this year...how are they doing health wise?

 

[Video Nasty]

Oilers in 6. If Dallas is as cocky as you lot, they’re in big trouble.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Going to be a good one. Dallas needs to stay out of the box and not give EDM lots of PPs

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Dallas in 4 or 5.

The gap in quality is significant.

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

Basically Mcdavid has to go full Michael Jordan and drag them past the Stars for them to have a chance.

Drai*

 

[nerevarine]

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

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Pickard and Skinner probably split the starts. Skinner is still shaky as hell.

 

[Soundwave]

Very late here, but I caught the 3rd. Maybe Bouchard can have some respect from Canucks fans, I think he was the best player on either team for that series. You guys chirped him a lot but he absolutely outplayed Hughes in that series.

 

[archangel2]

Oilers finally face a legit NHL goalie

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

No offense to Edmonton but the first two Stars opponents were way harder. McDavid being quiet this Vancouver series and them advancing would be my worry. He's due to explode for 12-13 points in a series. Stars in 6

 

[Matty Sundin]

Dallas should/probably will beat them. Wouldn’t be the craziest upset if they didn’t though.

 

[Dynamite Time]

I mean Dallas has the advantage in offense, defense, goaltending, and coaching, so I think they'll win.

Agree and wanted to say Stars in 5 but I think the Oilers amazing PP will help get them a few games; going Stars in 6.

 

[KlefDown]

Oilers in 4

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Oilers in 6. But I hope Dallas pulls it off.

 

[Matty Sundin]

Dallas should/probably will beat them. Wouldn’t be the craziest upset if they didn’t though. Only way I can think how without them playing yet though is if Jake Otteinger suffers a total meltdown.

 

[TMLegend]

Oilers in 6 or 7.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

I expect more greatness from this guy.

 

[KJoe88]

Stars in 5.

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

Well the brackets weren't exactly equal. One team had to go through the last 2 Cup Champs and the other team had to go through 2 teams with 2 combined 7 game series wins (including Vancouver's first round win this year) in the last 10 seasons.

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.

I expect more greatness from this guy.

I heard that he tailed them so good that he tucked them into bed every night.

 

[Internazionale]

Dallas in 5.

 

[JAK]

Stars in 4 as per Oilers fans after game 5 vs Canucks, so I'll follow their advice.

Also pretty fair counterpoint
