Edmonton Oilers take Game 1 of the Western Conference Final in 2OT

Skinner played great

Impressive game for the Oilers. This could be their year. Respect from Raleigh.

Paul Coffeey's influence and knowledge have been huge for the Oilers' this season.

What a game, still amazed by the Oilers PK in the Playoffs. Shout out to the team, staff and Skinner: Great! Love it, Go Oilers Go!

Let's get that cup back home to Canada, Let's go Oilers.

If anyone deserves a cup its Connor McDavid.

The Oilers played a great road game. That being said, their ability to crap their pants after the halfway point of every game is so procedural, you’d swear they practice it. At least 3x between last round and tonight they have had a 2 goal lead, sat on it, have a terrible giveaway in front of their own net, then sit on the 1 goal lead until it gets tied somewhere between 5-8mins left in the 3rd. They recovered tonight and played well enough to deserve to win but it’s just amazing how much they get in their own way. No team has beat them as much, or as badly as they’ve beat themselves this playoffs.

got lots of respect for EDM to make this a tougher series than some anti-oilers folks will think. the penalty call was correct, anyway you choose to argue it. EDM had an ELITE and i mean that in "caps" bcuz they wiped out 5 DAL PP's. skinner in net held his ground. i have been critical about his ability to be that hasek guy, but tonight he gave EDM hope and time to get the job done. anyhow, congrats and enjoy the win. EDM was the better team for most of regulation, and again, they made it happen. DAL has to play a lot better or else they are going to be in hot water after the end of saturday nite. this series is giving me intense 1990's feelings. looking forward to saturday nite. cheers 🍻

The Oilers are winning because they believe, they believe they can win, confidence, in spite of Skinner. Eck has way stepped up his game because of this confidence. They believe in their coach, McDavid is reaching for more, Drai is playing defense like never before. This team believes.

This was the most “managed” game I’ve seen in a long time. It wasn’t just the missed called on the Stars either. There were multiple icings incorrectly called, all of which benefited Dallas. Then you had the faceoffs. That’s the most I’ve seen Drai and McDavid being tossed from the draw, maybe ever. Then if the Oilers won a draw to clean the refs would just whistle it dead and take the F/O again. The cherry on top was Sutherland waiving the game winner off right away, with it having clearly gone in and no discernible goalie interference. The good news, though? Despite the game being called so clearly in favour of Dallas, the Oilers still battled through for the win! Very solid character win from the Blue and Orange.

Canucks fan here. Im happy for the Oiler fans. Enjoy this . American cities don't need nhl . This is for us

Refs were garbage but the Oil PK is as lethal as their PP. Skinner showed up many of us. Super dumb plays keep getting the opposition back into these games, Oilers must be the worst in the league for that for some time now.

Oilers knock down the best Pacific team in game 7, now they are facing the best of the best western team, Oilers has confidence to beat down the Dallas. Go Oilers go.

"he's face hit my stick" bro is as smooth with words as he is with the puck. what a goat

Kris knoblauch reminds me of steve kerr hehehe hopefully the same fate lies with the oilers back to back champions!! LETS GO OILERS

well done guys. keep up the good work.

Duchene leaned over hard. It wasn't a high stick. Well below McDavid's shoulder height where contact was made. Terrible call. It's good it didn't cost the Oilers.

Dallas went over 80 minutes straight without a penalty? Seems fair.

Such a Great game because everyone on our team gave it our all!

Ottinger thought McDavid wasn't inevitable. Cute.
