I completely agree with you. On paper Dallas is the better team and I would put money on that. That's the beauty of sports... anything is possible. I think its going to be a hell of a series. I can watch hockey without the stress of screaming at my Canucks.

You have 5 oilers in top 5. Top Pk and Top PP. Advantage Oilers. Dallas D much weaker. But deeper forwards. It will all be up to Skinner. That is all.

Being an underdog is perfectly fine since at the end of the day, neither the 'experts' picks' nor previous records matter much, if not, The jets and Nucks should still prevail. No doubt about the overall depth of the Stars, but let's not forget that they do leak versus the Avalanche on couple occasions, Oilers in 7.

Dallas is stacked but Edmonton is my club of choice. Going to 7 games for sure.

OIlers fan here...Dallas is a more complete team.... tighter and far more reliable. Edmonton has leaks everywhere.....Hard to trust a team that can surrender a lead as quickly as Edmonton.

It's good to read the realistic take by the Oiler fans on this thread

I never make predictions on something I have no control over, however, home ice means very little any more and Dallas is living proof of that.

McDavid is the powerhouse for the oilers but isn’t going full throttle because he’s still sick. If he gets better, quickly, he will be a much more formidable force to help the oilers win. The Stars have done incredibly and have shown that they are a force to be reckoned with as well. It should be quite the series. The litmus test will be game one.

The WCF winner wins the cup. Though I predict Oilers in 6. Every matchup is different, and the Oilers play better into Dallas than they do into LA and Vancouver (though Dallas is undeniably, significantly better than a team like LA). This series will come down to how well Dallas manages Edmonton's special teams vs. Edmonton managing Dallas' odd man rush and extended o-zone time.

Oil in 7 guy here again Oil in 7

Pettersson will figure it out next season

Do not see Oilers getting past Stars.

Oilers fan here one word…. GOALTENDING I’m not hopeful.

Dallas is going to dominate this series. Game 1 might be iffy, as the Stars might be a bit cold, but once they get going, the Oilers won't be able to contain their top 3 lines.

No thanks!

In hindsight, the Canucks should have waited until after the playoffs to give Pettersson his contract..

Who has the edge ? A bit of a dumb question. Dallas fans pick Dallas. Edmonton fans pick Edmonton. Hockey fans recognize two really good teams and will predict the team that wins 4 games has the edge. No upsets in this year’s playoffs. A few teams had little chance and disappeared in the first round. Since then some good teams have been eliminated. Three more good teams will be eliminated. The overall winners in all this are the fans of the game.

Finally Knaublauch heard me through the t.v. screen when yelling for a timeout. The damn dude should have known to do this in game 1. It took Nurse to do his job for him. Don't inflate Knobluach's role too much. He inherited a beast.

Dallas is a great team, but in playoffs not always the best team wins 😎

I doubt that Edmontons powerplay will be effective against Dallas.Dallas has 8 20 goal scorers and thats not including Logan Stankovan.Heiskanan and Tanev will give Mcdavid and Draisaitl a hard time as well.Dallas in 6.

Amen. Oilers aren’t a good 5 on 5 team and they are finally playing an elite goalie. They are going to get destroyed.

@@albertnordine6546 we haven’t seen Silovs enough. For all we know the entire canucks goaltending can be horrible but their defense is just that good

Greg it doesn’t matter who you like it’s Oilers all the was

Like all playoffs it's anybody's win I think oilers are a more experienced team then Dallas the person that said it best was LA kings captain when they lost series Edmonton has changed from the team I was use to playing to a smarter experienced team that he has saw and this is Daugh the captain who has played oil every playoffs series last 4 years

I think this is a better match up for McDavid then facing Miller or Lindholm who are 2 great two way centers that been on McDavid all series. If so i think Edmonton has the advantage, Oilers in 5🫡

Oilers are going to lose in 5 or getting swept. The Oilers barely got by an overrated team with a third string goalie in net. Oilers always get destroyed when they finally play a good team in the playoffs

Your delusional if you think oilers are getting swept, they been arguably the best team in the regular season since coaching change and its carrying on into the playoffs. If this team can play the way they played all playoffs they can beat any team imo. Either way gonna be good to watch

Shut down one major Edmonton line and this is Dallas in 6

The Oilers should not protect any leads, because look what happned in Game One aganist the Canucks...& also look what happend last night almost blew a lead again...But when they (The Oilers) put the pressure on the other team it was better...so all I am saying as an Oiler Fan is that JUST GO OUT THERE AND ATTACK ALL OFFENSE ALL THE TIME TRUST ME IT WILL WORK OUT IB THE END HOPEFULLY. & also hopefully the Dallas Stars Golatenders, yes that's rigth Goaltenders because they have more then just One & if one is Bad but the other one or ones are good hopefully they are all just terrible, will also have off nights so they can't stop all the shots. GO OILERS GO. Shoot and Score as many as you can per-period, & just remember that more then marrier.

... Oilers are the underdogs of the final 4.

The Oilers got lucky with the Canucks. The team plays different with Demko in net. Boeser being out the line up for game 7 and Pettersson slumping gave Edmonton enough advantage to win.

Oilers will take this

Stars have the edge. The canucks were hard on the oilers last series and so they are more worn out and lack the days of rest that the stars got. Stars win in 6.

Craig is right when you have a second less with the puck and no space on the ice that’s when you separate the great players from the average player..yup, look like a star in junior b can’t score a goal in junior a.experience speaking.😢😢😢

Dallas has a deeper team and obvious better goaltender. But as far as regular season goes, both teams are nearly identical in Regulation Wins, Goals For and Goals against. And this playoffs Edmonton has the top 4 point producers out of all teams, Dallas doesn’t have any in the top 10. Oilers are #1 in power play and penalty kill and Dallas are 11th in penalty kill. I don’t know how this will turn out but I don’t think it’s gonna be a blow out either way.

Dallas in 4. Vegas and Colorado are far better competition. Dallas has a better goalie and this series between Dallas and Edmonton will prove why goalies are the most important players on the team, not McJesus
