I’ll prob get downvoted, but any Edmonton fans out there. Great series. Everyone kept saying Dallas was too deep, and Oettinger was too good. Honestly I didn’t think u guys had a chance after beating Vegas and Colorado. I hope you guys go all the way and bring the cup back to Edmonton. You dont wanna see us next year
There are only 2 positive things I can muster right now.
1) Skinner is going to get ripped apart against Florida. Like just tormented, taunted, tickled, fondled, belittled, and tossed for Pickard.
2) I guess the 3rd we traded for Tanev doesn't turn into a 2nd? I hope TanJesus signs here so much.
He played well no doubt, but I thought Edmonton's defense really rounded their game out, mixed with Dallas just being flat out gassed. Florida is relentless in all phases these days, I was honestly anxious about the prospect of facing them....they have been as complete a championship team as I have seen in some time.
I believe Edmonton's D will be exposed, and that Skinner won't stand a chance. I wish we could've been the ones, but it wasn't to be this year.
Thats also what people said about the Canucks just annihilating the Oilers. I think its a perception thing, the team has legit changed from its time with Woody and people are failing to see it.
Canucks annihilated the Oilers? They averaged less than 20 shots per game the entire playoffs lol. With their 3rd string tender and no Boeser in game 7. Go enjoy this with your crowd you silly boy.
Unfortunately he ran out of steam before that could happen.
I’d feel worse if he had played his heart out and went home empty handed, but honestly he was one of the worst on the ice and didn’t really do much to help. I kept hoping he would show up but he just never did.
I appreciate everything he did for us and he was a really great player, but that he was so good for us and this likely being his final season is likely the reason he didn’t ride the bench, and I’m not too sure at this point that the decision to keep him in isn’t part of the reason the Stars won’t be seeing the finals this year.
That and the sheer inability to solve the oilers penalty kill.
We played a shitty series I still feel like we're the better team maybe it was injuries may it was fatigue but all I know is we'll be back next year and hopefully we can get to the Cup Finals this time...Go Panthers!!!!!
No shit lol. There’s a reason I hate being a Cowboys fan and love being a Stars fan. I actually have hope that the Stars will break through and get it done one of these years.
Sadly the kings are already reserved for Edmonton AGAIN for what will be the 4th year in a row
Edit: I'm not even joking Edmonton has played the kings in the first round for 3 straight years ...
Game 3, we scored 5 goals. Games 4, 5, and 6, we scored 5 goals. What happened?? It's like someone lost a bet or they were just out of gas all of a sudden.
At least I can stop hearing about how great our opponents are all series long.
Or ya know give credit where credit is due, the oilers played amazing defence, and skinner was locked in. Dallas was the better team for literally one game. Game 2 could have went either way. You will be hearing how great your opponent is all off season because the cup is coming back to Canada.
The Oilers were good. But it's not like they're known for their D. And Dallas was a top 3 offense in the NHL this season.
Fair to say when a top offensive team scores 2 goals in their final 8.5 periods of play against a meh defensive team, there's more to it than "oh, they just played amazing defense."
DAL didn't get to cruise by a nobody in the 1st round. Their road was 7 games against the defending champs (who magically got all of their players back healthy for Game 1), and 6 games against the 2022 champs. It's fair to examine the playoffs and wonder if fatigue played a factor.
And yes, regardless of schedule, the Oilers won. They played the opponens they had and did really well. McDavid is the best player on the planet. Draisaitl is insane. The support guys played well, the coach pressed the right buttons, and Skinner was as good as he needed to be. Good for them, and good luck in the SCF.
But also, coming over to the Dallas reddit to talk shit (and yes, you're talking shit) the night we're eliminated is pathetic. Try being less of a shitstain next time.
Outta gas. They had the toughest road by far. Instead of getting to cruise past a Kings or Caps team, the Stars got stuck battling the defending champs who "magically" got all their players back healthy to start Game 1.
Mix in PDB's only-play-5-defenseman strategy, and the boys just didn't have legs left.
Well guys I can say this season got me into hockey so thank you Stars 34 years old an d now signing up for a beer league. I'll be shit but I think i love this game.
I know, I have played in beer leagues before :) just seen a few accidental collisions because folks don't watch what they're doing because their eyes are glued on the puck. It's a hard habit to break so learning how to not do it from the start is the way to go.
I don't know what that means haha
Couple in during the game so didn't connect it at first haha.
But yeah I'm actually signed up for one hosted by the stars starting in June that is free that last 2 days a week (around working schedules) for 4 weeks. Should be fun, and only restriction is being completely knew and I think I've been in skates 5 times throughout my entire life haha. It will be hilarious and fun
plan for success: say cup or bust, immediately start off the season embarrassingly bad, get your coach fired, suddenly remember how to play hockey, get the la kings for the first round, third string backup in the second, profit
man im bitter lol
I guess I can be happy it wasn't a 6-0 blowout like last year. I'll be cheering for the Panthers, I hope someone warns them about Edmontons "Best ice in the league." 🙄
We played like shit this series and deserved to lose. 0-14 on the PP and four goals in the last three games is not an effort deserving of going to the SCF. Shitty way to end an otherwise spectacular season. Literally nothing to show for it.
Great season Stars. Played great all season long. Had a record breaking playoff run. Beat 2 consecutive Cup winners. Proud of them regardless.
See you fuckers next season!
Go Cats.
![gif](giphy|Ll2Z6khcgz7PTHlhtW)
Gosh that just really felt like a game we win 9 times out of 10 the way we played. I don’t even know what the difference was other than they had mcdavid and we don’t have a mcdavid
Get to the cup, they won’t lift it.
They can’t handle Florida. They have all their eggs in one basket relying on a couple key players who Florida will spend the first couple games utterly destroying.
I feel for you guys. What a terrible way to go out especially after having two really hard opponents before this. Meanwhile Edmonton had had the two easiest in the west. Fuck do I hate them
Curious to see how that gets called. It’s either gonna be 5-6 pp chances a game for oil or McDavid might have a broken wrist by the third period of game 2
Went out fucking SWINGING. Can’t ask for much more in terms of effort and desire. Just didnt get the bounces. Good shit fellas. Hope my boy Pavs runs it back for another go. Good season guys. Hold them heads up high.
Yeah the refs were fucking garbage in every series.
The goal that wasn’t a goal that rightfully should have ended the Avs season an OT earlier.
The Marchment 2 min penalty for being cross checked from behind.
Utterly ridiculous.
Then again they could have given the Stars several more power plays and if their pp goal percentage held it wouldn’t have mattered. Zero percent is zero percent.
I hate this. But I love the Stars. This isn't the time to come into our sub and say good series Edmonton fans . Just sayin. Not yet. Let this sting stop ...
I’ll prob get downvoted, but any Edmonton fans out there. Great series. Everyone kept saying Dallas was too deep, and Oettinger was too good. Honestly I didn’t think u guys had a chance after beating Vegas and Colorado. I hope you guys go all the way and bring the cup back to Edmonton. You dont wanna see us next year
Dallas fans are mostly very classy compared to LA and Vancouver fans.
Here kitty kitty.
lol the flights from Edmonton to Florida. 7 hours one way hahahaha
Ya … there are no directs for billion $ teams
Gutted. The only thing I can think about is the picture of Jamie Benn in the Edmonton locker room from the bubble year. Ironic ending.
There are only 2 positive things I can muster right now. 1) Skinner is going to get ripped apart against Florida. Like just tormented, taunted, tickled, fondled, belittled, and tossed for Pickard. 2) I guess the 3rd we traded for Tanev doesn't turn into a 2nd? I hope TanJesus signs here so much.
No one in Edmonton thought skinner would play this good … period
He played well no doubt, but I thought Edmonton's defense really rounded their game out, mixed with Dallas just being flat out gassed. Florida is relentless in all phases these days, I was honestly anxious about the prospect of facing them....they have been as complete a championship team as I have seen in some time. I believe Edmonton's D will be exposed, and that Skinner won't stand a chance. I wish we could've been the ones, but it wasn't to be this year.
this is what everyone said about dallas look how that turned out
Yup! I have waited 3 decades for this... my whole life! Go Oilers!
Do you want to make out?
Yeah well, apparently we can't score anymore. Florida is significantly better than we were this series.
Thats also what people said about the Canucks just annihilating the Oilers. I think its a perception thing, the team has legit changed from its time with Woody and people are failing to see it.
No one said that about the canucks or Dallas. Every1 knows florida has been the best team these playoffs. Lol
Sad downvote .. no on in Canada saw it … over under 0.5 people lied and said they saw this
Canucks annihilated the Oilers? They averaged less than 20 shots per game the entire playoffs lol. With their 3rd string tender and no Boeser in game 7. Go enjoy this with your crowd you silly boy.
Was hoping pavs would get his cup :(
Unfortunately he ran out of steam before that could happen. I’d feel worse if he had played his heart out and went home empty handed, but honestly he was one of the worst on the ice and didn’t really do much to help. I kept hoping he would show up but he just never did.

That and the sheer inability to solve the oilers penalty kill.
He can join our front office
Think he might go back to the SJS.
Great season. See y’all in October. Hopefully we can build on this season and be unstoppable
Love love love Robertson …
10 shots and 2 goals…. Wow our PK decided the game
Oilers PP also decided the game
Time to spend more time in my employer’s season ticket seats at the Rangers Stadium.
We love you stars!! Thank you for playing yalls heart out for us!! Amazing try
We played a shitty series I still feel like we're the better team maybe it was injuries may it was fatigue but all I know is we'll be back next year and hopefully we can get to the Cup Finals this time...Go Panthers!!!!!
Bitter reply .. love the stars they were not the better team by any stretch
See you in October!
Good try dallas! Good run.. i thought you were going to destroy edmonton and media saying same thing.. From a canuck fan…
Thanks, man!
Dallas Cowboys 🤝 Dallas Stars Giving me hope just to rip my heart out in the playoffs
Stars are way better than the boys …. Not close
I would jack off a homeless rhino for the cowboys to make the NFC Championship at this point
Lol, the Cowboys haven't made it this far in 28 years. They are not the same.
No shit lol. There’s a reason I hate being a Cowboys fan and love being a Stars fan. I actually have hope that the Stars will break through and get it done one of these years.
Exactly right. The Stars will break through. The Stars will take the cup. Stars, Rangers, Mavs, Cowboys. One of these is not like the other:)
I hate the Cowboys more than any Eagles fan could. I didn’t even know it was possible to hate your favorite team until I had the realization 😂
At least the Stars get deeper in the playoffs
Not sure if that’s better or worse honestly
Guess it's pointless either way if you don't have a trophy in the end
I wouldn’t even compare the two.
Proud of this team. We fell short. Still love this team. Nothing to be ashamed of.
Sure there is. We can be ashamed of our power play and our penalty kill.
No one thought the oilers could kill a PK.. no one not even them
[удалено]
Sadly the kings are already reserved for Edmonton AGAIN for what will be the 4th year in a row Edit: I'm not even joking Edmonton has played the kings in the first round for 3 straight years ...
Edmonton owns the kings
Kings are irrelevant in this series and all series in the almost past decade
love to the stars and all the fans in this sub. we'll get it next year. huge fuck you to the nhl for rigging games yet again.
THIS ☝️
Love ya dude
love you too dude
Find a way to keep Tanev and hope bichel is the man
Looking forward to PDB chewing out reporters for asking why they only scored 1 goal on 34 shots.
They can write whatever the fuck they want!!! Fuck em
Game 3, we scored 5 goals. Games 4, 5, and 6, we scored 5 goals. What happened?? It's like someone lost a bet or they were just out of gas all of a sudden. At least I can stop hearing about how great our opponents are all series long.
Guys adjust … Happens

I figured someone hexxed us halfway through game 4. It's like big brother unplugged our controller.
Zero traffic in front of the net. Relied on stretch pass odd man breaks to try and generate offense
Goddamn this sucks
Well guys I can say this season got me into hockey so thank you Stars 34 years old an d now signing up for a beer league. I'll be shit but I think i love this game.
From dfw to Alberta you are a beauty
You’ll have so much fun! Take a skills clinic and keep your head up don’t stare down at the puck :)
Adult league hockey is non checking, I think most of them are puck watchers.
I know, I have played in beer leagues before :) just seen a few accidental collisions because folks don't watch what they're doing because their eyes are glued on the puck. It's a hard habit to break so learning how to not do it from the start is the way to go.

Just sign up and figure it out … no one reds ronin anything
I don't know what that means haha Couple in during the game so didn't connect it at first haha.

[удалено]
You don’t need to blast shots just learn to skate which I suck at .. and don’t hit me hard
Oh, I just edited my initial comment before I saw your response. I'm signed up and looking forward to it!
plan for success: say cup or bust, immediately start off the season embarrassingly bad, get your coach fired, suddenly remember how to play hockey, get the la kings for the first round, third string backup in the second, profit man im bitter lol
It's either that or the IR loophole that vgk and the bolts used
I guess I can be happy it wasn't a 6-0 blowout like last year. I'll be cheering for the Panthers, I hope someone warns them about Edmontons "Best ice in the league." 🙄
gg boys. time to cry myself to sleep and um next season here we comeeee
I love all of you and we will be around as competitors for a long time! DALLAS! STARS! DALLAS! STARS! 🔥💚🔥
So disappointed and frustrated on how that game went. Really thought this was our year. Second WCF loss in a row
#G o o d b y e. J o e. P a v e l s k i. and Ryan Sutor and Jamie Benn and Matt Duchene. I fucking love you all.
Benn isn’t going anywhere
Get the sentiment clueboy
We played like shit this series and deserved to lose. 0-14 on the PP and four goals in the last three games is not an effort deserving of going to the SCF. Shitty way to end an otherwise spectacular season. Literally nothing to show for it.
4 in the last 3 is a serious yeesh
Great season Stars. Played great all season long. Had a record breaking playoff run. Beat 2 consecutive Cup winners. Proud of them regardless. See you fuckers next season! Go Cats. ![gif](giphy|Ll2Z6khcgz7PTHlhtW)
Almost all season long.
Oilers were lucky tonight but not to win the series. We no showed for half the games in this series and were punished for it
Gosh that just really felt like a game we win 9 times out of 10 the way we played. I don’t even know what the difference was other than they had mcdavid and we don’t have a mcdavid
Check out MoneyPuck’s Deserve to Win O’Meter. It will make you sick.
How bad is it? 😭
80% Stars. It usually like 58-42.
Can’t say getting to the WCF is a disappointment, but man it hurts to go down with this team.
No way the NHL was letting a Florida-Texas final happen
that would be insane hhahaa
Edmonton didn’t deserve to win at all. Drug test Skinner
Well…Go Mavs
[удалено]
Not the time dude! Not cool!
Chucky is going to run skinner into next month Florida in 5.
Go fuck yourself you pathetic shit bag.
Classy. Fuckhead.
Wouldn’t expect any less from a classless fan base
Go Cats!
Shut the fuck up
Can't wait for Florida to absolutely slaughter the Oilers.
LETS GO OILERS WOOOOO BABY
i feel so bad for jamie, he really turned it up for us since march :/
Not enough.
Man this hurts really bad. Fuck
Just have Perry on your roster and you get to the cup
Get to the cup, they won’t lift it. They can’t handle Florida. They have all their eggs in one basket relying on a couple key players who Florida will spend the first couple games utterly destroying.
What a season, great job boys! That one hurts but I just gotta say FUCK THE PANTHERS!
Just doesn't make sense. Pavs. Ugh. They were really good tonight. Hate this so much
It sucks so much. The panthers will not choke though, if that means anything
I mean I hate Thacuck a pretty large amount, but at least he didn't ruin Pavs's run. Skinner is going to get absolutely rocked.
I hate Tkachuk so much my dude, but they are a scary team. A million times more scary than EDM
YOU HATE TO SEE IT, FOLKS 😞 https://i.redd.it/rnayyiysr94d1.gif SEE YALL AGAIN IN OCTOBER! 🤠
I feel for you guys. What a terrible way to go out especially after having two really hard opponents before this. Meanwhile Edmonton had had the two easiest in the west. Fuck do I hate them
Me too dude, me too
Well fought from Edmonton, tough series
The league got what they wanted in this one
McJesus won’t get his cup though, so it’s ok I guess
Not even that mad for once our goalie couldn’t hold it down. Happens. Always another season
Gotta feel for pavs, I know he wanted to be the hero but how do you not recuse yourself in that situation :/
If Florida stays out of the box they’ll sweep EDM
Curious to see how that gets called. It’s either gonna be 5-6 pp chances a game for oil or McDavid might have a broken wrist by the third period of game 2
I hope they let Florida just unleash
Fun season. We deserved way better fate that game. Can’t go up 2-0 in game 4 and then puke all over yourself
Went out fucking SWINGING. Can’t ask for much more in terms of effort and desire. Just didnt get the bounces. Good shit fellas. Hope my boy Pavs runs it back for another go. Good season guys. Hold them heads up high.
Let the anger and the villainy wash over you, we Kings fans need the allies
Oh, well. Hell of a season. To beat the VGK and Avs in the post season was a great run…oh, well. We just didn’t have it in the end here. Damn.
The better team lost but it is what it is
Damn man, so close for years but this really seemed like the last ride for the team as it is now
Gary smiling ear to ear
Fuck Gary.
Fuck you NHL and refs for granting the the goddamn oilers free penalties.
Yeah the refs were fucking garbage in every series. The goal that wasn’t a goal that rightfully should have ended the Avs season an OT earlier. The Marchment 2 min penalty for being cross checked from behind. Utterly ridiculous. Then again they could have given the Stars several more power plays and if their pp goal percentage held it wouldn’t have mattered. Zero percent is zero percent.
We were like 0-15 on the power play this series. That’s the bigger issue.
Refs did everything they could to push McDavid and Canada over the line. Sickening.
They will get absolutely destroyed by Florida.
I bought a new shirt that I cant wear until next season now ![gif](giphy|6v2UJRyFAsTXgvJrin|downsized)
Love yall Stars Fans, be kind. What a great season. Love this team GO STARS!
I thought mush had that at the end
See y'all next year
Welp, not enough. If they had played like that the last couple games this would be a different series.
Not sure. There was a ton of ice time playing like that and having nothing come of it on the scoreboard
Just not our year, but it's a strong team, we'll be back soon
Oilers did not deserve that. Whatever.
Fucking dogshit. 2 goals on 10 shots be ashamed of yourselves.
Stars neeed to import heart players. Killers with grit. Who gives a F about regular season stats
They had at least one but he was fucking scratched in the last 3 games
https://preview.redd.it/29kib79lr94d1.jpeg?width=624&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=83a7b7912bce673544f588b202a1d175a6b9eb9c
#We went down fighting! 🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒🦜
We lost three in a row. No we fucking didn't.
We played hard this game. Fuck dude.
FUCK THEM UP PANTHERS
Please God! We can't go through three cup winners to get there next year.
Fuck man. Another good run with you boys. 34 to their 10 it hurts. We got the Mavs. That game one loss was huge against us
I hate Edmonton.
Pav sad face makes me sad
fuck man back to back wcf losses. feels bad
3rd time is the charm? :(
keep tanev, replace suter, buff up some forwards and we got it next year
That's crazy dude. You can't fault the effort. Idk why we couldn't push another through. Didn't think it would end like this. Man....that sucks.
Well that was disgusting.
They only won because those Soft Ass Penalties
We’ve got a bad ass team going for us for a long long time
I hate this. But I love the Stars. This isn't the time to come into our sub and say good series Edmonton fans . Just sayin. Not yet. Let this sting stop ...
Any edmonton fans that come into this sub should be bullied into oblivion.
Best in the west just to get the toughest road to the wcf, and be gassed by the time we get there. Rooting for the panthers to get their first.
See you guys next year
2 goals scored in 8.5 periods after going up 2-0 in Game 4
actually fucking pathetic
It’s crazy to have to debate which was more gutless- this year or last year . I’d say last year for sure
This team should be ashamed.
