Great shift. Too bad it was Nuge in Drai's office instead of Drai.

Don't mind that penalty. Hit Heisken as much as possible & wear him down. Just gotta keep it clean. Big pk.

That play is fine 99.9% of the time. Just lazy NHL refs seeing Kanes number and realizing they haven't got a chance to be in the spotlight yet. They are just the worst.

Then Ek takes a nasty cross check to the back that is much worse, no call.

They are such clowns. Ordinarily I'd say that you need to pay them more to attract better people but in the case of NHL refs they really should pay them less. In fact I'm not sure they need to be paid at all. Just have a random number generator that spits out 1-6 penalties/team/game. Same thing and we don't have to be subjected to these egomaniacs.

Lol. So Skinner didn't want to work with Schwartz in the summer either.
What's the point of this guy when our goalies are always seeking other ppl to coach them?

That was a weak sauce "hook". Benn just had to lean to the side a bit for the ref to kiss his feet.

Decent first period. Stars being way sneakier about their infringements than Van was with all their blatant holds, trips & picks. We're due for a call. Kill of this last 20s or whatever it is then get busy.
I was worried that we'd be way overmatched this series, but first period was pretty even. I'd even argue that we had the best scoring chances. Connor looking more Connor-like too which is a promising sign. Stars don't seem like the type of team to beat down our stars because they feel like they can't compete skillwise, unlike LA & Van.

Ugh...flukey whiff costs us again. Gifting the opposition goals all playoffs.
And ANOTHER soft penalty call. Refs sponsored by Charmin or what?

Calling so many weak sauce calls on the same team over and over is shady

That kind of play doesn't belong in the NHL playoffs. No real pressure and a total whiff.

Not much battle from Skinner.. Just lying on his stomach watching.
The oilers sure are prone to the 5 bell giveaways yeesh.. That's 4 thus far

So the NHL wants Dallas in the final I guess? What a load of crap these calls have been.

First two were legit. That last one was horsecrap.
As for the several way more obvious ones they haven't called against Dallas though...come on guys.

McDavid has 119 Matthews adjusted assists this season. He wants 150 I guess

Pretty good road game for the Oilers considering 0 powerplays.
Feels like we are being punished for our strong PP.

Never realized Holloway was such a hard hitter. And he does it a lot. Loving his game. McLeod should take notes.
McDavid looking infinitely better than the majority of that Canucks series. Great to see him take that nice hard shot.
1 goal lead. Don’t sit back. Keep up the forecheck. Keep finishing those checks.

The Stars are outshooting The Oilers but look knackered. I love it!
