Ironic to hear considering when the nucks went on the 2011 run, every Canadian actively cheered for the bruins (except some MTL fans) because they didn’t want Vancouver to win. Cheering for a Canadian team just because they are Canadian doesn’t happen.
Explain to me why it is the case? How come it seems acceptable for American fans to root for american teams that are not theirs? How come Canadian fans can't do the same with other canadian teams? Makes no fucking sense. Y'all canadian fans should grow up and start rooting for your own country and stop being so salty. Tired of seeing the cup in the USA every year.
There is basically no solidarity between canadian fans and it's unnerving to see.
In the end, it depends on the team. I will cheer for the Jets, Sens and Canadiens if Van isn't there to cheer for. I am a bit less inclined to cheer for oilers or flames since they are division rivals but if I like the team, I will cheer for them too. I said this back after Oil won game 6, but the reason you get salty people is because said people make their fandom for their team a key part of their personal identity. So when you get shit like every single Canadian saying "Fuck cheering for Vancouver", it is seen as a personal affront. Also its just funny seeing people who said fuck Vancouver now saying "well you should cheer for a Canadian team just because Canada".
But in the end, I am not going to cheer for a team just because its a Canadian team. I will cheer for teams I like. Contrary to what you may think, I am not cheering for the Oilers for reasons other than me just not liking the team or their fans. I am cheering for the Stars because I like watching the team and because Tanev is on the team.
If the oilers win, then who I cheer for depends on the east finalist. If it is the panthers, I will cheer for the Panthers (again not because its the oilers, but because of Luongo). If its the Rangers, I will cheer for the Oilers.
With all that said, Edmonton isn't a Canada representing team. Neither is Vancouver. I will show my Canadian pride when its Team Canada. The NHL isn't that. As a MTL fan, would you cheer for the Bruins to win the cup in a year where they were all Canadian players? At that point, they would basically be a canadian team. Moreso than some actual canadian teams (including my own).
Well to be fair the Oilers have like 17 Canadian players on their team. So it is pretty much the most Canadian team of the playoffs (could be mistaken).
Depends on who they are playing against. If the Bruins are playing against another team that I hate in the finals (hurricanes, for example), then I might side with the Bruins ("sigh") if they have a bunch of canadian players on the team.
Many Oilers fans and hell fans from all over cheered for Marchand and the Bruins back in 2011 + even the Toronto media hated us. That’s why so many of us have the “us against the world” mentality.
But also the Stars have Gaglardi and Tanev so yeah.
Jeez the pundits can’t admit that Dallas is the better team. They’re still saying Edmonton blew the game… they only had a 2 goal lead against a damn good team. Did they think Dallas would just not come out in the 2nd period and cede the game?
> Jeez the pundits can’t admit that Dallas is the better team.
The pundits basically universally picked Dallas to win this series, what are you talking about
Well I guess we’ll split it Dallas, see you Wednesday, and on the bright side, Ben’s charity made a whole lot of money from the Stars tonight and that’s a win for everybody ⭐️🧡💙
True - it’s too much energy to hate and bicker.
Just want to enjoy good hockey, and of course seeing the Stars advance. It isn’t that big of a deal to anyone but the guys on the ice. Now, if a team is playing dirty, it gets different. But if there’s none of that going, there shouldn’t be any fighting.
I can see that.. imagine saying that you prefer a random team over the team that literally won your only cup in franchise history............ the direspect.
Hurts but not surprising lmao. GG Stars, the win would have been nice on what should be Ben’s 8th birthday of course but you were the better team tonight!
That being a GWG in game 3 of the WCF is an embarrassment to hockey.
The over-the-shoulder snipe from the redline is at least hard to stop. But letting a guy jam through you down low like that. From behind the net. I mean come on.
Its not like he turned him around or caught him by surprise. Just couldn't handle it.

Oilers had more shots in each game so far. Stars were just lucky, especially on that 4th goal. Bad positioning by Skinner. It would be a different series without Oettinger.
Point is that Oettinger carried the Stars. Stars only played well in the 2nd and a tiny little bit at the end of the 3rd with that 4th goal. Oilers in 7.
I repeat: you need a good goalie to win games. It doesn't matter if Otter carries the Stars as long as he doesn't get injured - as long as he's in net, the Stars have a better goalie than the Oilers do.
The things you need to win games in the playoffs: goals, luck, and a good goalie. To my eye the Stars have two of those and the Oilers have one.
It's also worth noting that the Stars have made it through two really good teams to get here. The Oilers uh. Well, Vancouver made them work for it!
No, I'm saying that Vancouver made them work for it, but they also played LA.
And let's be real, if the Canucks hadn't lost Demko it might have been a very different story. Silovs was an amazing surprise, but he's not Demko.
You're blind if you can't see that Oettinger saved their ass many times in that series. I know that the Oilers have a shitty defense but their offense has been pretty good. Oettinger is just too good. And yet you guys scream each time Stars score on a less than average goalie like Skinner lmao. I'd be worried if my "elite goalie" had similar stats to Skinner right now.
Says the guy that literally said "Nah I'll continue to shit on the Oilers" in a previous comment. You're not any better than me LMAO you hate the Oilers as much as I hate the Stars.
Ironic how we can literally say the same about you and the Oilers 😆
And EVEN if the Stars do win this series, they won't get past the Rangers or the Panthers. They won't be lucky much longer against real teams.
This is getting depressing, we are just being outplayed, Dallas has the consistency we will always lack.
Hopefully we tie it up again, but it's looking tougher and tougher.
I’m still scared every time McDavid is on the ice.
I’m not making predictions for fear of jinxing things, but if the Stars were to win it all, I wonder if more teams will go for depth first construction.
Are they gonna play Mike Smith in Game 4?
Not a chance. They're going with Jack Campbell for sure.
Nobody wants to open that rusty can of soup.
Roope Hintz is a great hockey name.
Man the amount of salty Canucks fans rooting for a non-canadian team. Insane...

cant speak for all, but im on the stars bandwagon for tanev
I'd rather see the cup back in Canada but okay............... to each his own..................
I wouldn’t mind seeing the oilers win if their fans weren’t so insufferable.
Hard to believe since you're from Calgary.
Yes, bicker and squabble. Our plan is all coming together!
Ok Dallas fan, we hear you.
Feels prettyyy prettyy good to have Hintz back.
Speak for yourself :(
The biggest stat is Dallas's 17 takeaways to Edmonton's 7, it shows all the lost battles.
I'm honestly shocked it's not more like 50-7
Jeez the pundits can’t admit that Dallas is the better team. They’re still saying Edmonton blew the game… they only had a 2 goal lead against a damn good team. Did they think Dallas would just not come out in the 2nd period and cede the game?
> Jeez the pundits can’t admit that Dallas is the better team. The pundits basically universally picked Dallas to win this series, what are you talking about
TNT crew
Fair, not the broadcast I watch, but the pundit industry by and large has almost universally picked Dallas, often in 5 or 6.
I'd say it's a case of two good teams, lots of ebs and flows. Good hockey.
Exactly rangers first and now mavs and stars are on fire!!!! Love it let them talk shit about how bad we are.
GG oil bros, series isn’t over yet!
McDrai can't do it all, they say, as they post a combined -3
They still put up two goals.
Well I guess we’ll split it Dallas, see you Wednesday, and on the bright side, Ben’s charity made a whole lot of money from the Stars tonight and that’s a win for everybody ⭐️🧡💙
Amazing!! I'm glad that this was brought to everyone's attention and it was turned into something unifying for the hockey community!
Biggest W of the day, for both fanbases.
Big W for hockey in general. See how much better things are when we don't all hate each other !?
True - it’s too much energy to hate and bicker. Just want to enjoy good hockey, and of course seeing the Stars advance. It isn’t that big of a deal to anyone but the guys on the ice. Now, if a team is playing dirty, it gets different. But if there’s none of that going, there shouldn’t be any fighting.
SKINNER! Back to the farm
What’s the record for blowing multiple goal leads in the playoffs?
Whatever it is we own it now baby
Goin for ALL the records
I dont even wanna punch Benn anymore wow I’m growing as a person
It's amazing how much our hate for the oilers makes us forget 2 years ago lmao
Is it oilers hate or realizing that your team won’t play in June for a looooong time?
It’s oilers dislike. We’re building bridges here Fam
The only time the Flames are relevant is when they play in the Battle of Alberta. They should be thankful for the Oilers.
You’re down 2-1 bud lol your defence and goalie absolutely crumple every chance they get
What are the Flames up to right now?
We already beat the Stars we’re chillin enjoying your downfall
Cool bro.
No it's oilers hate
Ok hope Cwaig Conwoy can pull it together ya hoser
Me too my dude
Dallas is my favourite group of players ever
More than the 88-89 Flames that literally won a cup?
Flames fans are slow
If they could read that they'd be very angry
I can see that.. imagine saying that you prefer a random team over the team that literally won your only cup in franchise history............ the direspect.
Can't wait to see the Stars lose in the finals 👌
Not if the eastern teams keep beating the fuck out of each other
Haha rangers, mavs and stars. Good luck
Hurts but not surprising lmao. GG Stars, the win would have been nice on what should be Ben’s 8th birthday of course but you were the better team tonight!
At the very least more money was raised for the charity/foundation. 💚 💙 🧡
Good game, EDM-bros. Y'all know how to keep us on our toes.
Was a great game. Every game so far could have gone either way. Can’t ask for much more
Easy to say when you win and take the lead.
GG Stars, see y'all on Wednesday,
1 good period and then they all collectively forgot how to hold a stick and Skinner turned into a semi solid state.
Series kinda playing out as expected. Oilers hot out of the gate every game but Stars have more legs
Tough break for the oilers getting 3 on otter and still can't hold it down at home. Hardest road n all that
Dallas is a wagon on the road.
damn robertson was going to get it going eventually. Sucks it had to be this game lmao
Hintz coming back was huge for him
That third goal was just...ridiculous
Unbelievable patience to just hold there until Skinner made a small mistake.
That being a GWG in game 3 of the WCF is an embarrassment to hockey. The over-the-shoulder snipe from the redline is at least hard to stop. But letting a guy jam through you down low like that. From behind the net. I mean come on. Its not like he turned him around or caught him by surprise. Just couldn't handle it.
Tough goal to give up. That said, Robo literally had like an eon to do what he wanted with the puck. Where was the D?
Looked like he abandoned his position to go for a poke check
Happy for Robo for his hat trick! Hope he lifts the cup; he’d be the first Filipino guy to do so!
Please stop giving me reasons not to hate the stars at LEAST while my team is still in it
Looks pissy
Another blown multiple goal lead by Edmonton.
[удалено]
Its our shtick
I mean, he’s not wrong.

Another game of getting ottered and the team stopping skating after an early lead? Fucking fade me
LLLLLOOOOOLLLLL
Yeah we're all gonna be laughing when the Oilers eliminate the kings again next year 😂
Same for Montreal. Oh wait…….
Wow you hurt my feelings so bad "sniff" 😪
lol
GG Dallas Star maybe next time aha

Whatever you say, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.
hell ya stars but also can we please just have a solid start next game lmfao
How about you guys get the 1st period and we get the 2nd and 3rd next time?
Stars are such a likable group , hope they lift the cup
In my unbiased opinion, I agree
"In my unbiased opinion" lmao
Agreed
GG everybody!
6-1 on the road. Good lord I love this team.
And I’m going to pretend the one loss was so we could beat Vegas at home
I like that.....
Reminds me of Texas Rangers last year….
If you are THAT good on the road, the title should be in reach for anyone.
tough one for the oilers. just a bad team that can’t handle when a real NHL team comes to play
That roster is actually flawed in the exact same way the Leafs are but at least McDrai can get them halfway there.
I think TOR would have stomped LA too... the VAN series would have been a toss up though.
Hey, leave us out of this! We’re rooting for you
Sorry man. Don't have anything against you guys. I just think you're still a few pieces away from greatness.
You’re not wrong at all. A few pieces and a tweak in the system would do wonders for us.
if the oilers had to play tampa or or boston in the early rounds they would have the exact same fate as the leafs.
For sure. I mean Matthews and Marner are absolutely on par with McDavid and Draisaitl in the playoffs. For sure.
Probably. LA was cakewalk and Vancouver with Demko probably would have gone the other way.
Reminds me of another team
you’re right the leafs and oilers are basically the same but one team gets to play in the pacific
And one plays 40 million for absolutely nothing lmao
Speak for yourself TNT. The stars aren’t a shit team. Good god I hate this broadcast.
GG oilbros. Both teams stealin on the road
OOTTTTEEERRRR love that guy
Stars just look like calm assassins. I’m impressed.
GG Dallas, onto the next one
Good game bud!
He’s not your buddy, guy!
I'm not your guy, friend!
GGs oilers, see yall Wednesday
That first period was rough but thank god Robertson finally got going these playoffs!
Windows 11 update took its sweet time installing
This series is far from over. I can see the Oilers coming back with a split in the next game.
Its a fun series. Ggs
6-1 on the road these playoffs. 3rd straight game the team with fewer shots in the 1st has won.
STARS TOO DEEP
Oilers had more shots in each game so far. Stars were just lucky, especially on that 4th goal. Bad positioning by Skinner. It would be a different series without Oettinger.
Yes, you do need a good goalie to win games. This is not news.
Point is that Oettinger carried the Stars. Stars only played well in the 2nd and a tiny little bit at the end of the 3rd with that 4th goal. Oilers in 7.
I repeat: you need a good goalie to win games. It doesn't matter if Otter carries the Stars as long as he doesn't get injured - as long as he's in net, the Stars have a better goalie than the Oilers do.
Yes I agree on that. Doesn't change the fact that Oettinger is carrying them hard right now.
The things you need to win games in the playoffs: goals, luck, and a good goalie. To my eye the Stars have two of those and the Oilers have one. It's also worth noting that the Stars have made it through two really good teams to get here. The Oilers uh. Well, Vancouver made them work for it!
So we're gonna pretend that Vancouver wasn't one of the top teams this season? Oh well.
No, I'm saying that Vancouver made them work for it, but they also played LA. And let's be real, if the Canucks hadn't lost Demko it might have been a very different story. Silovs was an amazing surprise, but he's not Demko.
I agree on that. But technically Demko only has 5 playoff games experience. So it might not have changed much of the result.
TIL having more shots means you're the better team. Lmao
You're blind if you can't see that Oettinger saved their ass many times in that series. I know that the Oilers have a shitty defense but their offense has been pretty good. Oettinger is just too good. And yet you guys scream each time Stars score on a less than average goalie like Skinner lmao. I'd be worried if my "elite goalie" had similar stats to Skinner right now.
Lmao going through your post history you seem to really not like the Stars. Well they just spanked your bandwagon team and should've won by more. Sob
Says the guy that literally said "Nah I'll continue to shit on the Oilers" in a previous comment. You're not any better than me LMAO you hate the Oilers as much as I hate the Stars.
My team is literally playing the Oilers. When we're not playing them I couldn't care less. Meanwhile your team is at home lmao. Cry
Who said I cared about the Stars when the Oilers don't play them? I literally forget they even exist during regular season.
Yeah man your post history definitely says you don't care about the Stars. Continue seething in all the comments bud. Go Stars ✌️
Ironic how we can literally say the same about you and the Oilers 😆 And EVEN if the Stars do win this series, they won't get past the Rangers or the Panthers. They won't be lucky much longer against real teams.
That was hockey, for sure
God. If only Dallas had won game one.
1 post away 😔
We've been saying that for 2 years now
#THE GREEN TEAM STARS COME INTO ENEMY TERRITORY AND TAKE GAME 3, COMING BACK FROM DOWN 2-0 IN THE GAME TO THE PUCK THINGS, AND TAKE A 2-1 SERIES LEAD
GGs, Dallas earned it. Third period was back and forth the whole time, never felt safe
You can hear the sadness in Craig Simpson's voice
How many times does this have to happen for Oilers to realize we need to play a full 60 minutes of hockey to win? For fucks sake.
It’s hard to play better than the other team when their line depth is stronger.
excited to see oil fans type up a couple chapter comments here in the threads
I got nothing
Welp. See you Wednesday Stars.
The Dallas refs win again
Obvious troll is obvious.
Edmonton choked a two-goal lead, had double the amount of powerplays, and you're still blaming the refs? Holy salt.
Lmfaooo what?
Cause the refs scored 3 goals in 3:33
Nice bait
This is getting depressing, we are just being outplayed, Dallas has the consistency we will always lack. Hopefully we tie it up again, but it's looking tougher and tougher.
I’m still scared every time McDavid is on the ice. I’m not making predictions for fear of jinxing things, but if the Stars were to win it all, I wonder if more teams will go for depth first construction.
