Every time 97 gets the puck, my arsehole clenches and a new diamond is formed. God he’s good at this. GG oil. See ya in the post.


WokeSpock

Otter getting hot at the right time! Watch out, league.


brendan87na

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK YEAH!!! I am pleased by this


unco_ruckus

SPRINKLES AND SHUTOUTS BABY


NoNotThatMattMurray

WigglyFinArms

Otter is so back


Deddicide

Good game Stars fans! That’s some hardcore goalie-ing, not that your whole team didn’t play well. Good luck down the stretch.


sunshineeeeeeeeeeee_

8 wins in a row?? How does one make their team go on that kind of streak?


GrilledSandwiches

Every team should know better than Dallas. It's the longest win streak in our franchise's history. Every other team in the NHL has had at least 8 before tonight. We only *just* joined the club.


sunshineeeeeeeeeeee_

love that you’ve joined the club now, better late than never!


SupaDawg

I'm counting on your boys to do the same. Be the story!


Trujiogriz

Oettinger is back and ready to roll!!


PsychWardSiren

B2B shutouts for Oetter!


CoStarsFan

GG Oilbros have a nice playoffs!


KnockingonKevinsdoor

Thanks ! Hope we don’t see ya


domingus67

GG STARS! FAKSA WAS A BEAST


BlindPaintByNumbers

He was everywhere in that first for sure. GG


Top_Rekt

Dallas so good they don't care about no superstition, saying SO the whole thread got dayum.


Apprehensive-Loan628

Yeah… that sucked


Trunkins

SHUTOUT LETS GO


Trujiogriz

Bouchard really just handed him the puck lol


quantumdude836

And that makes 7 straight periods without a goal against!


brendan87na

lmao the DJ is on point


NoNotThatMattMurray

Lol imagine giving a fuck how fast bouchard shoots his shot


TCBloo

10 seconds


shimswfi

I just realized there are 8 games to go and Oilers have 3 back-to-back woo


GrilledSandwiches

Yeesh, that's a rough close to the season tbh.


Dstars86

Yikes, and I normally think we get screwed with back to backs.


dirkin1

Closing time lol


_ShutUpLegs_

I know this period has been pretty much phoned in by both teams but it's weird to lose a game 5-0 and feel the game has largely been even. If we ignore three minutes of the second.


BlueFetus

It doesn’t feel even to me, sure we’ve had more offensive zone time but Dallas is totally in control in their own end. Looks like 4 guys standing on the blue line forcing a dump and chase, and then they crash the corner with both defense men so it’s 3v2 every time. Lots of shots from the point, but they’re keeping lanes clear and Jake sees em’ all the way in. Spooky stuff this close to playoffs haha


_ShutUpLegs_

I'm not saying that Dallas didn't deserve to win or that they weren't the better team, but 5-0 is a lot.


BlueFetus

Fair take, especially with the amount of shots both teams had haha. Feels like one of our September games 😡


Super_Networking

If you ignore the last 5 minutes of the second then it was a good game for Edmonton


KingDave46

I agree, the score is deserved for Dallas, they played well, but Edmonton wasn’t dog shite they just collapsed when they over extended and it killed them On another day they could’ve scored 5 too but Oettinger had a great game so fair play to them


GrilledSandwiches

Otter got some help from his posts tonight, but he'll take it anyway he can get it. Probably should have been 5-3 going into the 3rd and a much tighter game.


quidproquolaspe

I wanted a touchdown. But I’ll settle for a 5-0 blanking of one of the most top end offensive teams in the league.


TCBloo

Good kill. Glad that didn't matter.


brendan87na

dawg, I was looking at something else and didn't even notice the PK was over Stars PK rocks


lesbians4haseul

Dallas is a very pleasant team to look at. Like those are some pretty men with very very nice jerseys


yousayh3llo

_squints at username_ checks out


Doza93

We think so too. Marchment/Seggy/Duchene line is by far the sexiest line in the league


SupaDawg

These jerseys have really grown on me. I completely hated them at announcement, but they're just so unique.


happyklam

They're even cooler in person imo. You can't see all the little dots/shading on the numbers on tv.


SupaDawg

I've seen them in person. Super sharp. I also love the collar effect. It's the only recent stars jersey I don't have, but I may have to get one before the fanatics cutover this summer.


happyklam

I have a Pavelski one that I cherish. I swear he scores every time I wear it to a game. I just don't get out to games too often! 


valente317

lol radio silence from all the EDM flair after that tripping call. It’s really great that the situation room can use replay to switch out Marchment for Johnston, but not fix that call.


why2k

We're down by 5, whether or not it was a penalty is irrelevant to us at this point.


reditor3523

I've seen several lol. Also flair up


tmtg2022

Make up call for the missed slew foot in the first period.


jambo_007

if mcdavix is not spamming pass to hyman he is just invisible this game


Trujiogriz

A POWERPLAY FOR THE OILERS!? Just sick of watching this same garbage every time we play a Canadian based team man, it has never been more obvious. The bullshit penalty hierarchy goes like this...Canadian team>>>Any Northern team>>>>>>Southern team. We don't stand a fucking chance…


TCBloo

Is this a pasta? It should be.


GrilledSandwiches

It *has* to be....


Trujiogriz

Yea a salty Oilers fan posted it earlier in this thread (reverse order) and another Stars fans changed it to this


KingDave46

My GF just asked why the other team is dressed like they’re putting out traffic cones on the highway I actually think Dallas has cool unis, but I also liked the Orange Oilers jerseys so take of that what you will


GrilledSandwiches

Lol, that's a solid chirp though. They make *great* fan sweaters, and I think they look just fine on the ice too. I'm always a sucker for bold colors that aren't that usual, so the Oilers Orange is also a great look.


BlueFetus

Do the Stars wear those often this season? I’ve barely watched any of their games. I’m not a fan of them, but I appreciate they did something unique. It just kinda sucks cause I believe their late 90s sweaters were absolutely perfect and I wish they’d bring that scheme back 😩


GrilledSandwiches

I was going to say they're probably good for about 10 games a season as a shot in the dark. Looking it up, they had a schedule for them, and this was their 10th game of the season sporting them and they have one more game to go with them against the Kraken it would appear. >It just kinda sucks cause I believe their late 90s sweaters were absolutely perfect and I wish they’d bring that scheme back Oh my man, that is the entire Stars fanbase. We WISH we could get those back with the new victory green.


BlueFetus

I need one with either Modano, Balfour, or Hull on there man. They are cleeaaaannnn


SupaDawg

Give me OG Oilers cog or give me death.


madmomma3

Break up with her


brendan87na

that is uh, certainly a call


_ShutUpLegs_

I can't believe I watched all of the man city v arsenal game at the weekend and I am going to watch all of this. This is time I will never get back.


zcohen17

Refs have money on Oetter not getting the SO


ButDoesItCheckOut

Well....we know Kane does.


Dstars86

Phantom penalties now? Refs trying to ruin the you know what for Otter.


SupaDawg

The ice cream party?


Chadwick_Strongpants

“iM a CoNtENdEr!”


Finrad-Felagund

Softies all around


MaianTrey

Zero contact on the trip... player fell on his own and Marchment didn't even have a stick on the ice... Massive blunder of a call there.


TCBloo

I don't think he even touched him lol.


Bremics

Let's see if we can at least get a McD assist out of this game lol


fortressofnazare

lol Marchment didn't even touch him. If this costs Otter the shutout I'm pissed.


Trujiogriz

Penalty for Kane falling on his own accord????


zcohen17

Where tf is the penalty?


GBPgoingOFF

I bet oilers fans appreciate as much as I do listening to the broadcasters talking about the penguins for 5 minutes straight in the middle of play. Great job guys 👍


Substantial_Base_557

Atleast give mcd a couple points ffs


A_1337_Canadian

I thought that was a trip real-time but on the replay looked like Kane toe-picked.


Trunkins

Mush was at least 3 feet behind him and to the right too


WigglyFinArms

There isn’t even a trip. Oiler there’s your ghost PP


thegorg13

Can we decline?


BlindPaintByNumbers

Ooh man.... so decline a penalty and get something.,.. like maybe a free no risk challenge later in the game.


thegorg13

The way you guys can relentlessly forecheck the PP was as flaccid as it's ever been. You guys are fucking good. Yeah it was "closer" than the 5-0 score looked but it was still a beat down. GG and I hope to never have to play you again this year lol


BlindPaintByNumbers

Good luck man!


sunshineeeeeeeeeeee_

well, you know what happened the last time he went to the box so


_ShutUpLegs_

A goal would be lovely.


Greedy_Secret_6477

I do love a shorty


WigglyFinArms

Lol they got Marchment again


doihavetowearabra

Likely place for him to be


Trunkins

Where is the penalty?


fortressofnazare

let's see what these PP merchants can cook up


_LETSGOILERS_

Pp time


TCBloo

No one's taking a fuckin Kia offroading...


thegorg13

You could do it... once.


dirkin1

Fucking Fanatics..


happyklam

All my homies hate Fanatics


KnockingonKevinsdoor

Dallas had a hot 5 minutes and ya’ll saying they’re dOMinATing


2timesacharm

Mcdavid can win the scoring race but it wont help with him getting ZERO points tonight


shimswfi

Kid, you got to get on bed


KnockingonKevinsdoor

Just saying the game is closer than the scoreboard says. Bunch of fake ass fans in this GDT i see


Uzasodinson

How many hot minutes have you guys had


NoGiCollarChoke

Negative zero


thegorg13

They shit pumped us...


brendan87na

*glances at score* I mean...


Trujiogriz

Yall suck bro just take the L


WigglyFinArms

More than y’all. Weak looking PP, poor defense, and a hot Otter make for sad Oilers.


Trunkins

I mean...


avab12

5-0 I would say they are dominating


Gniphe

Ok, but take away those 5 points, and it’s a pretty close game.


brendan87na

"All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the ~~Romans~~ Stars ever done for us?"


reditor3523

Exactly. These people just don't get it


SharpSlick753

If we regress the Stars to the mean…


KingDave46

Now THIS is some “let’s just not get injured” hockey


WigglyFinArms

Clear your zone and get off the ice


dab-butnottheTHCkind

Ah the good ole Denver Avalanche


stickyWithWhiskey

Am I tripping or did that graphic just say "Denver Avalanche?"


tmtg2022

Were Dallas mandated to wear the hi-vis jerseys by OH&S?


TCBloo

Imagine if you couldn't see us


yousayh3llo

It's called OSHA here


NoNotThatMattMurray

I guess Oilers staff opted to keep the talent hidden tonight?


Elguapo361

Yes


SRSgoblin

MF'ers acting like safety via visibility isn't super important while on the 35.


tmtg2022

Was it a lost-time incident or near miss?


WokeSpock

Is there a slow-skating current superstar? Someone below mentioned Robo maybe being a superstar. At some point that made me think of current superstars, and how all the ones I can think of are at least reasonably fast or are actually speedy. So, excluding anyone on the tail end of their superstar career--are there any current superstars who are slow a.f.?


SRSgoblin

Mark Stone has never been quick


WokeSpock

Is Mark Stone a superstar?


Pisscats_R_Trash

Absolutely not


thegorg13

Drai isn't exactly quick


WokeSpock

Draisaitl is a good answer. I guess because of his incredible positioning and handling I don't think of him as "slow," but clearly he is and his skill more than makes up for his speed. So...maybe Robo can develop into Drai? :-O


philzway

Corey Perry


WokeSpock

earlier in his career he was plenty quick, to be fair.


fortressofnazare

Draisaitl


Trujiogriz

Draisaitl is so slow


SnooConfections8768

That's why he parks himself at side of the net and waits for everyone to get him the puck. Not much else he is capable of doing.


jambo_007

Where are the tap in and one timer on PP merchants


SnooConfections8768

They gave up and are whining at the refs instead.


McMack04

Too busy hitting crossbars and turning over the puck in their own zone


KingDave46

Jokes on Dallas, mere seconds after they win the cup McDavid is gonna cash in his money in the bank


NoNotThatMattMurray

Because he has to pay for pussy?


Trunkins

I always wondered how some of the worst commentators get and KEEP their jobs in sports


SnooConfections8768

The shitty ones just go to Edmonton and become homers.


reditor3523

Probably nepotism


SupaDawg

Just a shame the Devils couldn't do their job tonight.


yousayh3llo

"skinner is dialed in"


shimswfi

I think it is time to put Perry back to bottom six. Dude looks slower than my grandpa


Finrad-Felagund

DONT SAY THE WORD


brendan87na

TNT keeps saying it


Apprehensive-Loan628

Say the fucking word I dare you


KnockingonKevinsdoor

Benn never looks like he’s having fun out there. He’s that crusty middle aged dude at work that takes everything so serious.


itsdayvid

Jamie smiles far more than Robo does, I've never seen someone who looks more disappointed to score a goal 😂


doihavetowearabra

That’s just how his face is [peak Jamie](https://youtu.be/n8H2xhdUfoI?si=DXul2WUlammhyjwK)


Finrad-Felagund

Putting the S word on the screen is an attempt at a jinx


zcohen17

TNT sucks so much


PsychWardSiren

The fact that we’re up 5-0 and our top line hasn’t even scored is such an awesome feeling, our depth is unreal this year.


unco_ruckus

They’re talking about Edmonton being a big test for Otter but honestly I worry a lot more about him against bad teams lol


WokeSpock

Otter's on one tonight, which helps!


CoStarsFan

Notable nice guy Evander Kane making new friends during a house invasion.


brendan87na

holy shit, Jake is just FEELING IT tonight


domingus67

All that black magic Calgary used on Otter has just made him stronger


ByPrinciple

This was really all subterfuge by the flames years ago for tonight specifically


zcohen17

Nils trying to help Edmonton out there


Yoni_k46

Even his own teammates can't score on him smh


unco_ruckus

Otttttttterrrrrrrr


NotionAquarium

I told y'all Dallas was a top-tier contender. Y'all didn't believe me.


SnooConfections8768

Can't wait to see McDavid snivel in the post game interview like he did about the Canucks after the first game of the season. I actually really liked and respected the guy before that.


quirkysquirty

That was so funny. Mcdavid and drai gotta be the winiest star players to ever play in the league


tmtg2022

Like Vancouver fans whining about the 1-3-1


quirkysquirty

Everyone's gotta have a system, doesn't bother me. Just boring


tmtg2022

Kid, it's past your bedtime. Run along.


SnooConfections8768

3 wins against Edmonton and no losses this season. Now take a seat.


Trunkins

TNT: Dallas isn't a 4 line team Dallas: Wanna fucking bet?


itsdayvid

I was VERY confused by that comment...how on earth are we NOT a 4-line team


yousayh3llo

Arguably a 5 line team


Weezelone

I mean judging from this game, its more like they're a 4th line team. Faksa-Steel-Smith are the Stars of this matchup.


jessasaurusrex5

They have been so great


brendan87na

5 or 6 insurance goals would be nice


The_Dutch_Canadian

Well I’m gonna go watch the Bad Batch now. Ciao oil bros.


Yoni_k46

Excited for you! They were fun


coloradobuffalos

Is the new season out?


The_Dutch_Canadian

Ya the last season has been out one episodes 10 and 11 now


Aperture_client

Imagine being legit the best hockey player in the world and they put you on this team, and you have to live in one of the coldest human occupied cities in the world


KnockingonKevinsdoor

lol the cold weather isn’t even the worst part about Edmonton.


mickeymikeymoose

Climate Change: "what cold weather?"


Dstars86

Do tell?


quirkysquirty

It's run by a socialist government. It's cold, crime is high. The only "fun" thing to do is hang out at a big mall.


Dstars86

I thought most of the Reddit hive mind preferred some form of socialism.


quirkysquirty

I'm more so into capitalism,but to each is there own, that's why we vote


Trunkins

I'm willing to bet you don't know what "socialist" means


quirkysquirty

Edmonton municipal government is NDP, literally a democratic socialist party


Ptheeb

Ah yes the Municipal NDP government


LuckyCanuck13

I'd rather have the NDP run the city, and hopefully the province again, than the corrupt and demented UCP. Or any conservatives for that matter.


quirkysquirty

And you wonder why Edmonton is a dying city. 🤷


LuckyCanuck13

Seems to be growing every year. 🤷🏻‍♂️ And that's in spite of the UCP doing their best to trash this province.


ZAggie2

Oilers seem kinda annoyed our 4th line has dominated them tonight.
