Holy cow, what a tail of 2 different periods.

The Oilers were absolutely dominating the Stars in the first period and the 2 goals against probably flattered them. If not for Oettinger, the Oilers easily could have had another maybe 2 more after the first.

Then the 2nd. What in the actual F was that!! How the hell do you come out that flipping flat after your first!!! Everyone expected the Stars to push back but it looked like a men's team vs a kids team for almost the whole 2nd period. It seriously looked like they thought the game was over after the first period.

The worst of the bunch was the fab 5 unit. McD's line plus Bouch and Ekholm looked unreal the first period then as a 5 man unit, I am not sure they could have played worse. On for the Stars first 2 goals against and looked like it was their first time playing hockey. If you are going to have your best center, your best winger, then probably your 4th best forward plus your best offensive dman and best defensive dman all playing together virtually all the time and play them as much as those guys get, you CAN'T have them be a pile of garbage like they were in the second.

Yes there is other guys who made mistakes in the game but that 5 man unit was absolutely awful in the second and it cost them big time.


Those guys scored 2, and were on the ice for 2 against. Nuge was probably the biggest offender on both goals, we should probably try Henrique on the first line again.

But that's just a tie game. Who was out there starting tire fires to give Dallas the lead twice? These are players that rarely ever are able to create anything in our favor. That's how games are won and lost this time of year. Lack of depth, and weak links on D sunk us again. And Skinner let in a stinker.

Sorry man, I think you are letting those 5 off the hook WAY too easily. You literally said Nuge was the problem on the first 2 Dallas goals. He made plays that CAN'T happen. Those plays don't happen, very likely they don't score. The Stars scored 3 goals in just over 3 mins and that line was on for 2 goals. That means that line was on for probably 2 out of the 3 shifts in the span. They don't make those bad mistakes, at least 1 of those goals doesn't happen, probably both. The Stars do all that pushing and potentially get nothing to show for it, it can take the will of a team.

Those guys get way too much ice to give them a pass and then try to throw the blame on someone else. Momentum in hockey is MASSIVE. It can literally change how a game is going. I am willing to bet that the the Stars and the Robertson line handing the McD line their lunch like they did in the second period gave the whole Stars bench a massive boost.
