Maybe I should be a little bit more worried than I am. I know Dallas has a very deep team, and they have a hot goalie and it will be a very tough game. But Edmonton is also playing very good, and if Skinner can play well in Nat, think this series is ours. We need to come out fast and strong tonight in Dallas and shut the fans up fast. Hopefully we can score a couple of quick goals. I don’t think Dallas is a team that plays well from behind, so if we can get an early lead and don’t take our foot off the we should be OK

I'm the opposite. There is a part of me that is just hoping the Oilers don't get embarrassed like against Colorado. I guess that's just how I prepare myself in case they do lose (but I do believe they can win, and that they have a much better shot than they did against Colorado in 2022).

Colorado a couple of years ago was a stacked team.
The Oilers went into that series with:
Smith and Koskinen as their goalies. No offense to those guys but I think Skinner Pickard are better.
Their defense was: Nurse Ceci - Keith Bouchard, Kulak Barrie.
Ekholm is better than what Keith was at his age.
Bouchard is 2 yrs older, more experienced and way better.
Desharnais is an upgrade defensively over Barrie.
So their defense is way better.
They have a better coach.
Their depth players that are different consisted of Kassian, Yamo, JP, Archibald.
Janmark, Holloway, Brown, Carrick, Perry are better than those guys.
