Poor 3rd period, soft powerplays against and ours PP still needs work. Score line isn't great, but still confident.
Take me home, country road
to the place where I belong
to Alberta, to see the Oilers
take me home, country road

IMHO only the PK let the OIL down. It has been a problem all year but was better in the playoffs. ...certainly not tonight.
I hope DALLAS thinks they were the better team in this one.
...this time, it's for real (isn't it?).

Weak PK.. weak goalie.
McCauley doing McCauley on the Kane penalty.

He should be fired for that call. At the very least be made to apologize. Terrible.

Reffing wasn't good, Duchene sells it, but Kane got him in the chin/left side of his jaw with his stick.
The replay on TV was awful, showed the back half of the play and Kanes stick coming down.

Really? I just saw the one replay. Turned it off at the horn. The one they showed missed him completely and seemed he just threw his head back.
Either way - what a collapse from the highs of the first 40. Such a let down. We need some saves once in a while.

Still tough to see but the toe of Kane's stick goes right under the visor.
Like you say, terrible collapse.

If the Oilers as a whole don’t bury the refs after this game, something is wrong.

Look at Skinner at their 4th goal…. puck goes in the back of the net…. he has comments to do instead of going into the net.
This is not a goalie…. come on…

That’s a classic Skinner meltdown play. And the team sags hard when they know Skinner is in that mode. His battle level is just zero. Second efforts out the window. Just sulking in the net.
It’s very important for our GM to find a real starting goalie this summer.

On the second goal instead of evading the screen, Stu just stares directly into the name bar and does the scarecrow of hope. Pickard doesn’t do that. Third goal was another vintage Stu statue of hope goal again. Fourth goal he’s flopping around and doesn’t know where the friggin puck is.
Awful penalties tonight. Awful goaltending.

Someone has a proper video on the Kane high sticking penalty?
From what i’ve seen, stick was nowhere near Duch face….

It was a high stick

They showed a bad replay on sportsnet that was after Kane's stick was coming down already.
Dumb penalty, and the one before too. Or PK is trash and our goalie needs our team giving maximum effort to reduce quality chances against. We can't afford any more of that.

Play like the first 40 for a fill 60, and we take this in 5. That is if Skinner can get his save % at least .850…
You know what this felt like? 2006 Finals, Game 1 against the Canes. Got out to a 3-0 lead, went into the 2nd intermission up 3-1 and looking like far and away the better team. Then the 3rd period happened. Canes scored early and added 2 more on the PP.
Still bothered by this one. Can’t sleep. Ughhhh

The good news is Skinner always leaves much to be desired after any break, but then comes out solid after 1 or 2 losses. So I expect him (and the team) with a more focused game going forward. Pickard is also still injured so we also don't have a choice.

Man so bizarre.. goalie pool is so shallow we have a starter that lost the job to the backup, and the 3rd stringer is so iffy they are afraid to drop him in.. I hope Skinner doesn't take 2 games to shake the cobwebs out .. PK'ers gotta start blocking shots like there is an open net behind them..

I keep going back to 2023 when Vegas won the Cup.
They had Thompson, Broissoit, Hill, and then just to be sure, they tossed the Jackets a 7th and an AHL goalie for Jonathan Quick at the deadline.

All because Robin Lehner got inured. They also started a guy named Patera a couple times.
