mcdavid born in 97, wears 97, in 1997 the oilers took out the stars. Now, the stars are aligning (no punt intended) for the oilers, prophecies have foretold the oilers taking this series! (im delusional)
Last time Dallas made the finals they played a Alberta team, then the avalanche, then Vegas and lost the finals This year they played Vegas first, then the Avs, and now another Alberta team meaning everything is reversed therefore Dallas wins the cup.
Dude, gambling companies pay INSANE money to youtubers. Some call it selling out, others call it paying the bills. Either way, sportsbooks are making a killing
@@adamv2296 Exactly. I wish these channels could make money without giving any time to these gambling companies. They provide a net negative for our society, imo.
I don't think Mcdavid was hurt, I think he was sick. Just listen to his interview right after they finished off Van. He could not clear the crap that was caught in his chest. It made sense after watching that interview, why he was not using his speed like he did all season. I think this series will come down to special teams.
His raspy voice in that interview specifically is explained by what happened 4 minutes prior: McD screaming LETS GO at the absolute top of his lungs from the buzzer to the handshake line.
@@frankytanky5076 Van was sick to it was noted that the bug went through both rooms. But Vancouver did have actual injuries on top which hurt even more.
I'm stoked we finally get a Dallas Edmonton series like we used to get all the time in the early 2000s. It was a great rivalry and we haven't seen it in far too long.
@@cristianpena7917Rangers had it easy with that Washington team. Vancouver had it easy with that Nashville team. Still, nobody else racked up 20+ points (except Draisaitl).
If Drai and McDavid can hit full tilt and get the PP working, they can beat Dallas. But they need to be absolutely firing. Dallas have better depth and will win if they can netrualize D and McD.
No, the Oilers can’t beat Dallas. They are not some shitty LA team. A crippled Vancouver team took them to 7 games. Had Van actually showed up for more than 10 mins that game they would be the ones advancing. They played horrible
@@cristianpena7917 That's the beauty of hockey. Anyone can beat anyone. If that Oilers PP kicks in, they're unplayable. I think Dallas are faves but anyone saying it's impossible should be their house on it. Bet you don't have those minerals...
@@cristianpena7917 this is such a stupid take. Oilers are running the best pp and close to the best pk. They have good defense. If skinner makes a save sometkmes it’s going 6-7 easy either way.
As a Stars fan, I’m not underestimating these Oilers. If anything, being favored and getting overconfident often tends to backfire. I’m not getting cocky now 🫣
As an Oilers fan that is the best approach. Regular season stats, points, series means absolutely nothing. Anything can happen when there are four teams left. All the best to you and let's hope it's an exciting series Cheers
I’m happy with the fact that we got Mcdavid and Draisatl and we’re the underdogs lol if the history of any sports prove anything it’s that the superstars always get it done it’s why they become legends.
@@cristianpena7917 Boeser missed 1 game, and their goalie played lights out so missing Demko is a non sequitur. Oilers were without Henrique for the entire series, and the flu bug hit them hard. I agree Dallas will win but beating Vancouver was no fluke Edmonton was the better team for the vast majority of the time on ice. This series will be closer than most people think.
Honestly I don’t understand how you can call yourself a hockey fan and not be amazed by what Connor does every year. Real hockey fans can respect and appreciate the talent around the league regardless what team they’re on
@@paulwt9783 it’s boring watching someone skate around 5 people single handedly and snipe on the goalie? Proving the point that yall aren’t real hockey fans “yeah I don’t like watching skill, I hate when players do cool shit, I like 1-0 games with 15 shots on goal” like what
This round McDavid had zero points in three out of seven games and had more games with negative +/- than positive. I still think he's the most talented in the league but it's the whole team that's needed to win the Cup.
To be honest, for the Oilers v Stars series, two very important players to watch are Bouchard and Hyman. Obviously McDrai is the duo that will draw all the attention, but a good net-front guy is really hard to defend against, and Hyman is severely underrated in that category. And Bouchard, although not a defensive stalwart, but he's such an offensive threat that you cannot afford to cheat at all and collapse to the front of the net. The Oilers powerplay is so effective because every player on the ice is highly dangerous, and as much as you may have a few preferred looks, you cannot afford to cheat to one guy. As an interesting note, Dallas doesn't have a single player over a point per game in the playoffs so far. Edmonton has 5.
This didn't age well. I just watched New York Rangers go to sleep vs the panthers.. oh and the only goal they got was on their own net. So theres that.
Great breakdown man. Love your videos bro. I started following hockey for about three years now. Now that I am familiar with the sport overall, your videos have helped me dive deeper when learning about game formation and styles of play. Makes me realize that hockey is a lot more of a complicated sport than people make it out to be. Thanks for that.
Everyone keeps saying the stars have the better depth, yet if you look at the stat sheets and the advanced stats, that's just not true at all. And when you factor in that Edmonton's top say 4 players are VASTLY better than anything Dallas has,.. the Stars I do believe has the better starting goalie but Skinner can also go on hot streaks for stretches. Edmonton is definitely underrated for some reason going into this. ...also i don't think that's going to work out well for Dallas psychologically. See what I did there?
@@ericcook7622 Probably Bouchard and Hyman. Bouch is horrific defensively and Hyman can’t play without McDavid. Dallas has 3 lines that can score. Edmonton has 1, maybe 2 on a good day. Saw that in the Van series when they couldn’t get scoring until game 6 against a 3rd string. Dallas’ defence is also much better, with probably the best D man in the playoffs with Heiskanen and best defensive defenceman in Tanev.
Well said. I think anyone who thinks there is better or more depth with the Stars compared to the Oilers is certainly not looking in the right place. Canucks were a very good team and played well but lack of depth defeated them. Will be a very good series though no matter what. Oil in 6...😜
Well folks…Special teams often decide playoff series, and here again, the Oilers have a clear advantage. Edmonton's power play has been the on of the best in the league, operating at an exceptional efficiency. The combination of McDavid, Draisaitl, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Zach Hyman and Evan Bouchard on the power play has been lethal. The Oilers Team talents and their ability to capitalize on man-advantage situations will be a significant factor. Additionally, the Oilers' penalty kill has been solid, effectively neutralizing opposing power plays and turning potential liabilities into strengths. The Stars, while competent, do not match the Oilers' special teams prowess, giving Edmonton an edge in crucial special teams battles. OILERS in 6 👍💪🏆
Dallas arguably had the thoughest route to the final conference! I root for the oilers but i dont see edmonton winning more than 2 against a powerhouse like dallas who just eliminated the last 2 stanley cup champs
Even though Mcdavid isn't scoring a ton against Dallas watch what he's doing defensively. When the puck is in Oilers end he isn't up at the red line cherry picking he's stopping any chances of a Dallas goal. It's amazing to watch.
No hate but everyone is sleeping on the Oilers. With that PK percentage they can shut down a powerplay and really make the other team work for there goals. And on the other side if you take a penalty against Edmonton they will kill you on the powerplay. To beat Edmonton you’ll have to do it 5 on 5 and that is Edmonton’s weakness but I think Edmonton matches up well with Dallas.
Time will tell. LA and Vancouver were ... lets be honest ... total muffins. Dallas went through The vegas injured reserves and colorado. Guess we'll see if they can get it done
@@borrow4654 Vegas had nine players on their roster that were nursing injuries. Nine. Barely made it into hte playoffs. Still took the Stars to a game 7. Colorado wasn't icing a complete roster, and had pretty much given up in game 4 when the news about Val broke. Still managed to muster a strong enough effort to take Dallas to a game 6 double OT. The soilers are NOT missing any key players, have the best defensive stats of any team remaining in the playoffs and their entire blueline is a unit. When players like Cody Ceci and Brett Kulak are scoring goals, it should begin to concern you. The Stars are incredibly overrated. Go ahead and tie up Mcbaby or any of his linemates, they'll just pass it to one of those guys back there and they'll put it in the back of the net. Oh, as an aside, go look at Oettinger's career sv% against EDM. LMAO
Man plans Panther hockey laughs. Their combination of skill, speed and violence is tough for teams to handle.I do have the benefit of a game one shutout, but I had the Panthers in six. BTW, when did home ice stop being an advantage?
Watching this after game 1 of the ECF. Florida put on a forechecking clinic that was so impressive they completely killed the crowd of MSG. It was like a covid game out there with how much they took the crowd out of the game. The Rangers looked lost all game with the exception of the gift of a GI call they got and a brief flurry in the third.
Re: Stars v Oilers: Both teams have multiple/split personalities this year, but they both hit the post-season incredibly strong. The winner of this series will hoist the cup, and the smart money is on Dallas. Even when the Stars had weak starts in their playoff games, they almost always woke up and put in the hard work they needed to. I see the west finals going six games, with Dallas being the eventual winner. Even so, I'm really proud and impressed by the amazing job the Oilers have done this year!
I’m thinking that to. I think Edmonton matches well against Dallas and everyone is sleeping on them. And New York will overpower Florida but we will have to wait and see what happens.
I’m taking Florida only because they look relaxed and like they are having a good time. As a Canadian I’m cheering for Oilers but I think goaltending is going to be key this series. Hope Edmonton can prove me wrong though, it would be nice to see McDavid get a cup
I picked Dallas to win the cup before the season started. came to me in a dream. We’ll see if I.m right. If I am, Next time I have that kinda dream I better place some bets. Lol
As an Oilers fan I'm not super hopeful but another element here is that Corey Perry has the potential to be an absolute nightmare if/when he's out there
@whitegd4100 In terms of postseason PPG among the remaining 4 teams, Edmonton literally has the #1, 2, 3, 6, and 10 spots on the list. Dallas doesn't have any in the top 10.
Literally every team has said they’d rather face the oilers in the playoff. Wtf when did everyone suddenly decide it was easy to hunt us down. Canucks said theyd rather fight edmonton then kings, Dallas said theyd rather fight edmonton then Canucks and now Rangers are saying they’d rather face edmonton then Dallas.
Oilers have been fighting a sickness that's been making its rounds through the team and still made the final 4. Maybe Dallas makes it past em, maybe they don't. Only time will tell.
Oh wow they made the final 4 in the pee wee division against a literally crippled Canadian team. Not 1 American fan has any faith the Oilers will win this series.
@@OWlsfordshire crippled Vancouver only had Demko out and then Brock. Vancouver was pretty healthy so was LA. Plus how many Canadians are on the Dallas team lol
@@OWlsfordshire pee wee division? Remind me again which division last years Champs came out of? You band wagon jumpers really gotta come up with new catch phrases.
I’m pretty sure most of Vancouver was sick through the Edmonton series too. It didn’t help everyone was getting overly personal. No excuses, but they had zero energy at the end.
The panthers are a well-oiled machine this season. New York is definitely gonna be a strong opponent but the panthers team play and coordination is next level, and with Bob being an absolute wall in net, it’s panthers in 6
I want the Oilers to win, but the Stars are solid in all areas. As the past has taught us, many times the weaker team has beaten the favorites.... See Tampa / Columbus. Hopefully its a good series so we all can enjoy.
Love your content, but gotta say it's pretty sad to see you promoting sports gambling. Understand you have to make a living, but thie shit is preverting the game we all love.
At this point of the playoffs the difference between the teams is none but the names on the sweaters and with a new champion too this has been one of the best playoff seasons since the pandemic
Oilers in 7 and Florida in 5. Oilers leader: Draisaitl, 6g 5a 11pts, Panthers: Verhaeghe, 8g 2a 10pts. .910 for Skinner, .953 for Pickard, .924 for Bob
All the oilers need is for Evander Kane to lock in and get all four offensive lines generating points. It doesn’t matter how bad the goalie is if your team is scoring four goals a game.
Every team has video coaches who do this very same thing. This is the first time I've ever seen anyone in any form of media doing this for the public, which is amazing.
Did you just say repeat history with a video of mark messier playing for the rangers?!? There is only 1 team looking to recreate history and that's the greatest dynasty ever in hockey.
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard, who would refs favour, a darling southern American team or the Oilers who get viewers and ticket sales no matter how good they are
@@picklenik9658how about you look at the call that was done in overtime in game 6 against Colorado if I'm not mistaken I believe the same type of bulshit was happening when we were playing Vegas in round one
Want Ranger vs "I don't care it's not the Avs", but suspect it will be Flordia vs Dallas--a series that will likely make execs who paid to carry the games find the tallest nearby building and jump off once the viewership numbers come in.
What I want for the finals is either a Battle for the North (Rangers v Oilers) or a Battle for the South (Stars v Panthers). Knowing my luck it might end up getting mismatched, but the narrative would be all *over* the mouths of the commentators.
“Both teams having Russian goalkeepers that make The shooters question the meaning of life” - for what it’s worth, Those Russian goalkeepers….with the catchy last names, are fucking awesome to watch

The winner of this series will hoist the cup, and the smart money is on Dallas.
Even when the Stars had weak starts in their playoff games, they almost always woke up and put in the hard work they needed to.
I see the west finals going six games, with Dallas being the eventual winner.
Even so, I'm really proud and impressed by the amazing job the Oilers have done this year!
Been an oilers fan for a long time but I just love the game. Love watching Dallas play too. I just want some good games man.
Damn I gotta watch more of your videos, this breakdown was great
Oilers in 6
Rangers in 6
I’m thinking that to. I think Edmonton matches well against Dallas and everyone is sleeping on them. And New York will overpower Florida but we will have to wait and see what happens.
I say the same thing. But then the rangers win it all
@@tractordave8335 Florida could keep up but the rangers have more weapons that can step up at any time
Florida winning cup
@@tractordave8335no series will end before game 6
I’m taking Florida only because they look relaxed and like they are having a good time.
As a Canadian I’m cheering for Oilers but I think goaltending is going to be key this series. Hope Edmonton can prove me wrong though, it would be nice to see McDavid get a cup
I think the Rangers and Stars will advance but it's going to be a tough series especially in the ECF
I picked Dallas to win the cup before the season started. came to me in a dream. We’ll see if I.m right. If I am,
Next time I have that kinda dream I better place some bets. Lol
I think Stars and Panthers in 7. I want the same teams but in sweeps.
The Pens window to make the playoffs hasn't closed yet!
@@ArcanumAscent Tanking is intentional. The terrible state of the Penguins in the years leading up to the lockout was not.
Rangers in 7, and 4 games (including game 7) go to OT.
The same Skinner from the Canucks series shows up, and the Stars win in 5.
Counting on the Oilers to get it done in 6. Dallas is good but Dallas fans don't deserve nice things.
As an Oilers fan I'm not super hopeful but another element here is that Corey Perry has the potential to be an absolute nightmare if/when he's out there
a rangers oilers finals would be heavenly
Apparently you haven’t been watching. It’s all secondary scoring in the second round. Game seven Mcd and Leon weren’t anywhere to be seen.
@whitegd4100you do realize Leon draisaitl is on the oilers 2nd line and has over 2ppg this playoff 😅
🤢
@whitegd4100 In terms of postseason PPG among the remaining 4 teams, Edmonton literally has the #1, 2, 3, 6, and 10 spots on the list. Dallas doesn't have any in the top 10.
Literally every team has said they’d rather face the oilers in the playoff. Wtf when did everyone suddenly decide it was easy to hunt us down. Canucks said theyd rather fight edmonton then kings, Dallas said theyd rather fight edmonton then Canucks and now Rangers are saying they’d rather face edmonton then Dallas.
Oilers have been fighting a sickness that's been making its rounds through the team and still made the final 4. Maybe Dallas makes it past em, maybe they don't. Only time will tell.
Oh wow they made the final 4 in the pee wee division against a literally crippled Canadian team. Not 1 American fan has any faith the Oilers will win this series.
@@OWlsfordshire crippled Vancouver only had Demko out and then Brock. Vancouver was pretty healthy so was LA. Plus how many Canadians are on the Dallas team lol
@@OWlsfordshire pee wee division? Remind me again which division last years Champs came out of? You band wagon jumpers really gotta come up with new catch phrases.
@OWlsfordshire we'll see🛢🛢🛢
I’m pretty sure most of Vancouver was sick through the Edmonton series too. It didn’t help everyone was getting overly personal. No excuses, but they had zero energy at the end.
11:04 edmonton stars
The star players on edmonton
The panthers are a well-oiled machine this season. New York is definitely gonna be a strong opponent but the panthers team play and coordination is next level, and with Bob being an absolute wall in net, it’s panthers in 6
The two teams are evenly matched in record.... but the Stars are clear favorites. Great analysis.
Great breakdown, compliments to the chef!
I want to believe in Draisatl and McDavid but I just can't bet on Skinner to hold up vs Dallas. That being said, Oilers in 7
Washington was in the playoffs this year?
Panthers v Oilers. I think Dallas is strong but special teams is winning games. It really does depend on goaltending
With Edmonton if Stu starts to become shaky they can always throw in Picks that’s been solid so I’m not worried.
I want the Oilers to win, but the Stars are solid in all areas.
As the past has taught us, many times the weaker team has beaten the favorites.... See Tampa / Columbus.
Hopefully its a good series so we all can enjoy.
I’m so scared right now lmao excitement and dread all at the same time, please god…LGR…WE WANT THE CUP!!!
Love your content, but gotta say it's pretty sad to see you promoting sports gambling. Understand you have to make a living, but thie shit is preverting the game we all love.
At this point of the playoffs the difference between the teams is none but the names on the sweaters and with a new champion too this has been one of the best playoff seasons since the pandemic
Great analysis.
even on youtube i cant escape the fucking gambling ads
Oilers in 7 and Florida in 5. Oilers leader: Draisaitl, 6g 5a 11pts, Panthers: Verhaeghe, 8g 2a 10pts. .910 for Skinner, .953 for Pickard, .924 for Bob
The problem with highly specific predictions is that it increases the likelihood that they will be incorrect 😜
I wanted a Vancouver/Florida Final, but Dallas and Florida will be great.
All the oilers need is for Evander Kane to lock in and get all four offensive lines generating points. It doesn’t matter how bad the goalie is if your team is scoring four goals a game.
The Rangers scored more goals at 5v5 this season than the Panthers btw
I appreciate your insight.
Lets go, Stars!!!!!
i wonder if the coaches will watch these breakdowns to help their strategies lol
Every team has video coaches who do this very same thing. This is the first time I've ever seen anyone in any form of media doing this for the public, which is amazing.
@@zedski yeah, but i wonder if he does a better more concise job than even those video coaches lol
Did you just say repeat history with a video of mark messier playing for the rangers?!? There is only 1 team looking to recreate history and that's the greatest dynasty ever in hockey.
Well you’re wrong bc Montreal Canadiens are the biggest hockey dynasty
3:12 penalty??
I'm calling it: the Oilers will make it to the SCF...and lose to extend Corey Perry's SCF futility streak.
If the oilers loose in the finals I’ll still be happy
Edm team D in games 6 and 7 v Van was not perfect but won the games. i think that philosophy and momentum could be a wildcard in the Dal series
Love Oilers being an underdog!
As an Oilers fan, I'm not confident in my team. Yes they're great players but the team is too inconsistent to beat Dallas. Needless to say, go Oilers!
I dont see how the oilers with an average goaltender and 1...maybe 2 efficient lines can win against Dallas but im happy to be suprised
as a stars fan the thing that scares me THE MOST is referees
USA vs Canadian team, you don’t have to worry 😂
@@rafaelxamorim9816 so true... :(
Yall are playing a Canadian team...Trust me you'll be more then fine.
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard, who would refs favour, a darling southern American team or the Oilers who get viewers and ticket sales no matter how good they are
@@picklenik9658how about you look at the call that was done in overtime in game 6 against Colorado if I'm not mistaken I believe the same type of bulshit was happening when we were playing Vegas in round one
I'm a diehard Sharks fan who just wants to see Joe Pavelski get a cup.✌️🇺🇲 Go Stars.
Pavelski😊 has a very punchable face
Great video! That being said-Go Bruins! 😃
this is a video about seth jones
Want Ranger vs "I don't care it's not the Avs", but suspect it will be Flordia vs Dallas--a series that will likely make execs who paid to carry the games find the tallest nearby building and jump off once the viewership numbers come in.
An interesting video, but the title didn't really match.
I want to see Oilers Panthers, but it's going to be Stars Rangers and Stars in 7.
Oilers rangers
That be something.
@@rebmoe14 yes
What I want for the finals is either a Battle for the North (Rangers v Oilers) or a Battle for the South (Stars v Panthers). Knowing my luck it might end up getting mismatched, but the narrative would be all *over* the mouths of the commentators.
Having the third best power play when there's only four left is no longer a plus
edmonton is gonna win the cup. you heard it here. The reason: because i said so and its time the cup came to canada, its been a while.
“Both teams having Russian goalkeepers that make The shooters question the meaning of life” - for what it’s worth, Those Russian goalkeepers….with the catchy last names, are fucking awesome to watch
Not even a question that draisaitl is the more complete player, mcdavid is just not able to bring the puck in the net for some reason
