    Paul Coffey's influence on the Oilers defensive play has definitely been a huge factor in Edmonton getting this far.

      Agreed, he got a lot of shite for not being a "defender," but his defensive formula shows how much he's studied the game. Our penalty kill is fantastic, and the way we're always hustling to push attacking players wide is totally cool.

    Oilers are really putting to bed all the dumb, forced narratives self-proclaimed hockey experts have been parroting all season long. Skinner is playing great, the PK is flawless, they have the most 5on5 goals in the playoffs, the defence is shutting down both Vancouver and Dallas, two teams who were both supposed to walk all over the Oilers with their superior depth, which is also being constantly disproven with Oilers getting one or two goals every single game from their depth players.
    This series is not over by any stretch, and whoever comes out of the East will be a tough opponent. But if the Oilers end up doing the unthinkable, I'm going to go on the pettiest, most merciless I-told-you-so revenge tour across all comment sections spanning the entire season.

    I can't wait for the narrative if the Oilers make it to the next round that Dallas was just another weak opponent and now they're finally playing a legit team. Both LA and Vancouver were good opponents, and Dallas is also a great team, the Oilers are motivated to get it done. It's not a case of their opponents being garbage, it's actually that the Oilers are good, playing well, and able to stay relatively healthy.

    When we least expect it the Stars completely implode. This was an issue throught the year when at times seemingly out of nowhere this team would just stop playing, stop skating, stop doing anything that resembled a team interested in competing. I point the fingers at ALL of them beginning with Otter whos numbers at home in the post season have been abysmal. He tends to just check out for no reason and stays gone for long stretches before snapping back out of it. But he's hardly alone and the Stars top forwards have been MIA for large stretches of the post season. Another issue is their blue line and outside of Tanev and Miro they lack size strength and skill and Edmonton has dialed in on that and has been eating them up. I pretty much feel this series is over as the Stars have once again been figured out and are getting outplayed and dare I say out coached.

    Had said it during the Vancouver series, that series, was the best thing that happened to Edmonton in these playoffs. It forced them to have to dig deep, play solid defense, and adjust. Without that series, this one here, would be entirely different.
    Edmonton learned many lessons in 7 short games against Vancouver, and it is paying dividends here now. They have to win 1 of 2. I imagine they manage to pull it off in either G6, or G7. I think it's their series to lose now, outside of the 3-2 advantage, just in momentum and control.
