McDavid & Co. explode in hostile territory, steal momentum deep in Texas
Big D? More like big L.
The Edmonton Oilers marched into Dallas on Sunday night and absolutely torch-lit the Stars in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals, skating off with a dominant 6–1 win and a 2–1 lead in the series.
From the opening faceoff, the Oilers looked like a team possessed — possibly by Wayne Gretzky’s ghost (yes, we know he’s alive, but this was supernatural). McDavid was dancing through defenders like it was a beer-league scrimmage, and Leon Draisaitl basically turned American Airlines Center into his personal highlight reel factory.
Dallas? Looked more like confused tourists than playoff contenders. Sloppy defensive shifts, missed coverage, and a penalty kill that might as well have been sponsored by Swiss cheese.
And speaking of special teams — Edmonton’s power play didn’t just click, it exploded. The puck movement was so fast, half the Stars’ defense looked like they accidentally pressed “rewind” on their legs.
Meanwhile, Stuart Skinner was calm and locked in between the pipes. Dallas finally got a pity goal, but by then, most of the fans were just checking traffic apps.
Now the Oilers lead the series 2–1 and have all the momentum heading into Game 4. Can Dallas recover? Or will the Oilers light the lamp again and send Texas into full panic mode?
