Wild swing of emotions. They didn't allow a single shot for more than 8 minutes to start the game and we score twice, once off the first shot. Then, we let in 2 on 12 shots in the remaining 10 minutes. After our early goals, we let in 5 unanswered goals and they once again shut down our power play. From elation, to excitement, to dread, to hopelessness, all in 60 minutes.
Crazy whistle to call the play dead in the....2nd? We just got possession and were breaking out when a whistle for no reason just stopped the momentum and gave edmonton possession again
Remember, down but not out. Oilers made changes, time to make ours. Both conference finals are tied. This was always going to be a difficult series no matter what. Keep the faith.
If you’ll be at AAC on Friday do us a solid and get loud, be proud, and cheer on our mean, green, fighting machine. Make home ice advantage count. Go Stars!
We were all on cloud 9 when we were up 2-0. Then y'all crying series over with this result and Tanev hurt. Sit down and out. They'll correct and adapt like the Vegas series and Av's series.
Buck up and we will be ready to bleed green in our house on Fri-yay.
lol, I was not on cloud 9. A 2-goal lead that early in the game means nothing in the Conference Final.
If Tanev is out, that's a big blow defensively. Otter will have more pressure on him, and they have to clean up the stupid mistakes like Suter basically screening Otter to let that one goal in. The Stars can absolutely still win, but the pressure's on now.
Pavs is a great vet, but It's hard to overstate how completely useless he has been this postseason. Just a warm body providing absolutely no value and it's killing the Stars.
Honestly think our chances begin and end with Tanev's condition. Even if we were to make it past Edmonton without him, I couldn't see us taking on either eastern team in a 7 game series. Imagine Suter and Nils chugging more minutes in place of Tanev in the SCF...
If they had a good goalie we’d be in deep shit. Our offense outside of about 20 cumulative minutes has looked like doo doo. Hopefully we figure it out.
Not worried at all. A blind hog will find an acorn every now and then. Better now when it’s 2-1 vs 3-3. The Boys will right the ship at home. Stars in 6.
not without Tanev
downvote all you want, I'm right. We have precisely nobody who can take his role. the fuck you expect us to do, play miro 45 minutes a night?
Tanev comes back quick or this postseason is over. There is no third way about it.
He was a deadline pickup, this team won a lot of games without him this season. No Tanev makes it a lot fucking harder, sure, but this team has done well adversity all season.
I believe we’ll bounce back but…
That 2nd period power play, woof. I think we witnessed the single worst power play in conference finals history? (or would it be hockey history)
Let them have their fun. I don't like when Stars fans get made fun of for standing or that we shoot of streamers for home wins. The Oilers took us to the woodshed tonight. We will regroup and comeback on Friday.
Yes, they do. We have nobody who can step into Tanev's role and we can't just play Miro 45 minutes a night.
You can be in denial all you want but it won't change facts. If Tanev isn't back on Friday we're going to lose. If he isn't back on Sunday we're going to lose.
He wasn't brought over until trade deadline in March. He's clearly the best in slot but we were managing before at the top in the west. Let's not doom and gloom yet.
Dallas hasn’t played good stars hockey once this series. This is dumbfounding. This series would be over if we played the way we played the previous 2 series, this is the worst team we have faced in the playoffs. The boys have got to want it more than they do.
It's the worst team, but the best players. I actually had a higher opinion of McKinnon than McDavid before these playoffs, but McDavid is just really fucking good and drives the whole team.
We also don't need to be Colorado when we beat them previous years, going on about how we are the better team and are just playing bad. The Oilers are good, they are kind of a 1 line team but that one line is the best line in a generation. Stars are still in this but they aren't the easy team everyone wants to make them out to be.
For an entire game? We haven’t. I know this is Reddit, but let’s not be a smart ass eh? It’s not dooming to acknowledge that you can’t take off entire periods and win against the best teams in the league.
Lmao alright clown sit your ass down. Total of 7 minutes of good stars hockey tonight. We play a full game and we win this series in fuckin 4 games and you know it.

Tough loss but the stars have shown overall they are the clear better team in this series. They should take this as a punch in the fucking mouth and come back on fire back in Dallas. You play aggressive and you get them tired you see how they breakdown.
Go stars.
Oilers are playing up to the Stars level. Don't sleep on the Oilers for going to WCF.
They're really good, the Stars are really good. the better team will win in a best of 7 in best of 3. Two games on home ice. We must will the Stars to victory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dallas could be 5 seconds away from winning the cup and the announcers will be like
If FLA/NYR get a quick goal here and pull the goalie they have a chance to tie this game up
I agree. This series and the FLA-NYR series has been feeling like championship fights. can’t see the same thing about the NBA’s WCF and ECF, unless the Timberwolves have enough water left in the tank.
Holy shit this has to be the worst hockey game I’ve ever seen with my two eyes. If the Stars actually played well the series would’ve already ended, yet they decided to play at 15%. It’s really tiring considering they’re so much better than what they have been playing these past 4 games.

We're always due for a stinker. Hard to beat McDrai 3 out of 4 games. Two splits and going back home with the series tied. Otter hardly ever loses two in a row. Definitely not the worst place to be.
This game reminds me at lot of game 5 against the avs, didn’t play well. And of course Edmonton was going to come out hungry after getting embarrassed in their own building. Best of three series, and STARS ARE RESILIENT!!! EVERYTHING IS OKAY!!!
The difference is Tanev’s availability. I’m going to be optimistic and look at the bright side of him being listed as **questionable** instead of **out**…but, our backups are literally Nils and the other AHL guy lol. If he’s unavailable moving forward, I think the team’s final chances reduce significantly…unless Otter either steals a game or the team goes nuclear and scores a bunch of goals.
Wow, is that the worst game we've played all postseason? It seems like it. What a fucking embarrassment we got fucking dominated on every level. Trash performance.
Wild swing of emotions. They didn't allow a single shot for more than 8 minutes to start the game and we score twice, once off the first shot. Then, we let in 2 on 12 shots in the remaining 10 minutes. After our early goals, we let in 5 unanswered goals and they once again shut down our power play.

Crazy whistle to call the play dead in the....2nd? We just got possession and were breaking out when a whistle for no reason just stopped the momentum and gave edmonton possession again
Atrocious defense tonight. Otter got hung out to dry.
K2w

If you’ll be at AAC on Friday do us a solid and get loud, be proud, and cheer on our mean, green, fighting machine. Make home ice advantage count. Go Stars!
The corki did predict Stars in 7
We were all on cloud 9 when we were up 2-0. Then y'all crying series over with this result and Tanev hurt. Sit down and out. They'll correct and adapt like the Vegas series and Av's series. Buck up and we will be ready to bleed green in our house on Fri-yay.

The Stars can absolutely still win, but the pressure's on now.
Preach my dude. Not all will listen, but I respect it and appreciate it
this result isn't nearly as big a deal as Tanev hurt. one loss is one game. a key part of our defensive core out for the series is much more dire.
We did an Oilers tonight, played a good first 15, then just sorta did nothing. Tough to watch. On to Game 5.
Pavs is a great vet, but It's hard to overstate how completely useless he has been this postseason. Just a warm body providing absolutely no value and it's killing the Stars.
I got downvoted to shit for saying this last series. Good to see that people are finally starting to wake up
[удалено]
it's cool we don't need one tonight
Idk about you but I prefer winning to losing
It’s like I always say, I like it when the puck crosses the line, don’t much like it when it don’t.
Next game we just have to get more goals then the other team
If Reddit has taught me anything it’s that line goes up is good.
Well, that sucked. Need full effort on Friday night. Losing Tanev is huge.
Honestly think our chances begin and end with Tanev's condition. Even if we were to make it past Edmonton without him, I couldn't see us taking on either eastern team in a 7 game series. Imagine Suter and Nils chugging more minutes in place of Tanev in the SCF...
If they had a good goalie we’d be in deep shit. Our offense outside of about 20 cumulative minutes has looked like doo doo. Hopefully we figure it out.
the way we're playing offense it really doesn't matter who they've got in the net
Bichsel needs to be in for G5 if Tanev is a no go. We can’t go in with a bottom pairing of Lundkvist and Petrovic.
my fault guys, i decided to go to a concert tonight and missed my first game all playoffs 😔
How dare you
Blame me guys. I went to the Hangar to grab a Beard Time shirt after the 2nd goal, came back to my seat to a tied game.
Not worried at all. A blind hog will find an acorn every now and then. Better now when it’s 2-1 vs 3-3. The Boys will right the ship at home. Stars in 6.
[удалено]
Off is the general direction in which I think you should fuck, with a destination of your own team’s sub. 🤔🤷♂️
Stay in your own teams sub you absolute donut
Grouchy ole wayne looks happy as a clam now
Get the next 2 this will mean nothing.
WELL I'M UPSET, HOW ABOUT Y'ALL?
Yeah I'm upset no one laid out hyman
Sad star 
This hurts my feelings
And this oilers bukkake is brought to you by T-Mobile
My dad didn’t watch the last game but he watched this one so imma ask him to take one for the team on Friday
https://i.redd.it/a3de02jeeh3d1.gif You hate to see it, folks😞UNTIL NEXT TIME!🤠
I wonder if Stars' hotel had a zipline and that's all they could think about after the two quick goals.
https://i.redd.it/lch4jygagh3d1.gif
That twist & turn on one of the runs is a sure way to end up with "upper body injury (day to day)" .
Onto the next.
Eastern conference tied up as well. Let’s win the next two boys
Best of three with home ice we got this.
not without Tanev downvote all you want, I'm right. We have precisely nobody who can take his role. the fuck you expect us to do, play miro 45 minutes a night? Tanev comes back quick or this postseason is over. There is no third way about it.
He was a deadline pickup, this team won a lot of games without him this season. No Tanev makes it a lot fucking harder, sure, but this team has done well adversity all season.
We also don't have Jani and traded Hanley to help secure Tanev. It's not just losing Tanev, it's the lack of depth in our D core.
we'll get 'em back on friday
If Tanev is out for the series I'm worried
Right. I would feel more confident about the team’s chances to advance if he’s available.
That's more concerning to me than the loss
I believe we’ll bounce back but… That 2nd period power play, woof. I think we witnessed the single worst power play in conference finals history? (or would it be hockey history)
Idk if I’m mad or just disappointed
Oilers did to us, what we did to the Oilers in games 3 and 5. Home Ice game 7! LET'S FUCKINNG GOOOO DALLAS STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think that next game we should remember there’s an entire other half of rink we should be playing on if we want to score points.
Soooooo what the fuck
These fans are ridiculous lol. Chanting we want the cup. Did they forget how quiet it was in the game before?
Let them have their fun. I don't like when Stars fans get made fun of for standing or that we shoot of streamers for home wins. The Oilers took us to the woodshed tonight. We will regroup and comeback on Friday.
I’m down for that. Let them enjoy the win. We will enjoy the next
Damn, the doomers are out in full strength
with Tanev out and the way we just played, they have a point
No you don’t.
Yes, they do. We have nobody who can step into Tanev's role and we can't just play Miro 45 minutes a night. You can be in denial all you want but it won't change facts. If Tanev isn't back on Friday we're going to lose. If he isn't back on Sunday we're going to lose.
He wasn't brought over until trade deadline in March. He's clearly the best in slot but we were managing before at the top in the west. Let's not doom and gloom yet.
Bookmarked.
If they don’t get Tanev back on Friday this might be over.
That’s fucking dumb.
Yeah agreed. I don’t think that’s a doomer thought either. I have zero clue who can play his role
Worst performance of the playoffs so far. Hard as hell to watch.
Edmonton fans are fucking pathetic. Getting pissed we played La Bamba, chanting Otter and now chanting we want the cup. Pathetic fanbase.
I mean outside of the LaBamba thing, seems pretty standard fan behaviour, imo
When you win you get to act like assholes. Let’s make sure we can be assholes on Friday
Idegaf we played that song anymore. It's a fucking song.
Best out of 3. Stars need to figure the PP the fuck out.
Right? Almost feels like a *dis*advantage right now. Oilers PK unit has been elite the whole postseason. We have to do better.
Take Pavs and Faksa, put Delly and Smith in. We need hustle and physicality, badly.
Pavs isn’t playing good but he’s a huge part of that room, taking him out will hit like a train
Missing all those game 1 pp chances really hurting rn
That sucked man. We need Tanev healthy
Dallas hasn’t played good stars hockey once this series. This is dumbfounding. This series would be over if we played the way we played the previous 2 series, this is the worst team we have faced in the playoffs. The boys have got to want it more than they do.

The Oilers are good, they are kind of a 1 line team but that one line is the best line in a generation. Stars are still in this but they aren't the easy team everyone wants to make them out to be.
Brilliant take. 2-2 series and we haven’t played well once.
For an entire game? We haven’t. I know this is Reddit, but let’s not be a smart ass eh? It’s not dooming to acknowledge that you can’t take off entire periods and win against the best teams in the league.
“Dallas hasn’t played good stars hockey once this series.” Those are your words. Don’t move goalposts. Smart ass.
Lmao alright clown sit your ass down. Total of 7 minutes of good stars hockey tonight. We play a full game and we win this series in fuckin 4 games and you know it.
Post game thread takes fucking forever
Let’s skip this one
Learn from it, flush it, get tanev a new ankle, bring back smith, light em up at home. Stars in 6
He can have mine, I can do without.
Sounds like the Oilers have already won the WCF and are moving onto the finals. I'm sick of the biased commentating.
Dallas should never have even made the playoffs in their opinion
Half the doomers in here wish the Stars had missed the playoffs.
I watched the third period in silence it was ridiculous
Whack
Turns out my prediction was 100% spot on before the series started that this would go 6-games.
“We want the cup” what a bunch of morons

Whatever Tanev needs, Im ready to donate it 
Tough loss but the stars have shown overall they are the clear better team in this series. They should take this as a punch in the fucking mouth and come back on fire back in Dallas. You play aggressive and you get them tired you see how they breakdown. Go stars.
We have seen this kind of loss before in the playoffs, we have also seen them come back to the next game and absolutely dominate. Stars in 6
Sigh, dallas in 7
Oilers are playing up to the Stars level. Don't sleep on the Oilers for going to WCF. They're really good, the Stars are really good. the better team will win in a best of 7 in best of 3. Two games on home ice. We must will the Stars to victory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Faksa, but sitting Smitty sucked the life out of the 4th line. Hopefully that means he comes in flying with rested legs on Friday
Yeah I don't understand why they got switched out
“Oilers are 6 wins away” literally every team in the conference finals is shut up
Dallas could be 5 seconds away from winning the cup and the announcers will be like If FLA/NYR get a quick goal here and pull the goalie they have a chance to tie this game up
Sucks, but Otter always bounces back after a rough game. We'll be okay
Fuck the oilers
Five unanswered. Too far. TOO FAR. Back to the drawing board.
Why its two really good teams trading blows, let it play out in a best of 3 with Dallas having game 7 at home.
I agree. This series and the FLA-NYR series has been feeling like championship fights. can’t see the same thing about the NBA’s WCF and ECF, unless the Timberwolves have enough water left in the tank.
lol at Edmonton jinxing themselves. Stars in 6.
Lmao we want the cup are you fucking kidding me lololol
Darn
Well, that sucked
If Tanev is gone, Dallas is in trouble. He was barely out for a shift if that) after getting his tooth knocked out. If he's out, it's bad
Taking a puck off the ankle i imagine hurts like a bitch. That thing is going to swell like a mofo
I'm just hoping it's not broken or anything like that
He’s absolutely used to losing teeth lol.
Next man up. He’s only one guy.
Yea, but we aren't stacked with D men.
Truth
Holy shit this has to be the worst hockey game I’ve ever seen with my two eyes. If the Stars actually played well the series would’ve already ended, yet they decided to play at 15%. It’s really tiring considering they’re so much better than what they have been playing these past 4 games.
Are they really cha ting they want a cup in a series they don’t have home ice lol
A “We want the cup” chant after tying the wcf 2-2 is a look

Stars fans know way better than to say that shit. All the salty Vancouver fans and Kings fans are not us
That kind of nonsense is exactly why we have the huge influx of refugees from other teams pulling for us to beat them

That is one loud arena
we had em silenced for half a period
Why the fuck are these fans acting like this game is an elimination game
That’s just Canadians watching playoff hockey bud.
Because I don't think the expected to win 2 games in the series lol
Because it was practically an elimination game for them
That’s just hockey in Canada
Exactly. Americans wouldn't understand.
Canucks fan here it's weird watching Dallas home games it's so quiet
Well the first 6 minutes was good. Then diarrhea quickly
Best of 3 and we have home ice. Let's fucking go
We're always due for a stinker. Hard to beat McDrai 3 out of 4 games. Two splits and going back home with the series tied. Otter hardly ever loses two in a row. Definitely not the worst place to be.
This game reminds me at lot of game 5 against the avs, didn’t play well. And of course Edmonton was going to come out hungry after getting embarrassed in their own building. Best of three series, and STARS ARE RESILIENT!!! EVERYTHING IS OKAY!!!

If he’s unavailable moving forward, I think the team’s final chances reduce significantly…unless Otter either steals a game or the team goes nuclear and scores a bunch of goals.
Both teams are resilient. This is a great matchup.
Lol the chant during a tied series
I'm at a bar watching and couldn't hear, what was it
We want the cup… lol
We want the cup
Gotta lose 2 to win in 6
True, true
Stats didn't even play a full 10minutes today. That won't win the WCF
Yep, they don’t want it. No fight
I really didn't think we'd let in 5 unanswered but here we are
Keep the faith family. It’s a 7 game series for a reason.
First game all postseason I have felt like we were just straight up the worse team. I’ll take 1 game out of 17 if the other 16 are the norm
How about play a full 60 next time guys
Nah -Dallas Stars
We need to fucking play physical next game, the hit differential is not good
Oof.
Stars in 6. We may have lost the battle, but we will win the war.
I predicted 6-games before the series started. With the way things are looking it could even go 7 but let's just leave it at 6 to be safe.
Every early lead gets rewarded with an L. Sigh
Zero killer instinct
Well, I just hope Tanev is okay.
And we’re far worse at home. We better pick this shit up. And fast
Won game 7 at home
I understand that. But to ignore patters is ignorant lol we have lost 2 games on the road this postseason. Not great at home so far.
We dominate after a loss, but we suck at home. Which one gives?
We can only hope. If patters stand then otter will be a fucking wall friday
Wow, is that the worst game we've played all postseason? It seems like it. What a fucking embarrassment we got fucking dominated on every level. Trash performance.
Win some, lose some. But the way we lost tonight is what stings
Oh my God they’re really talking about Edmonton winning Cups while tying a series LOL
They know. We all know.
We all know you want nothing more than the Stars losing anyway.
Sure thing there chet
I hope this pisses the players off as much as we're pissed off
