Edmonton bounces back with a vengeance and a vacuum-sealed net — series tied 1-1
If the Stars were shining in Game 1, the Oilers just cut the power grid in Game 2. Edmonton strolled into Dallas on May 24 like a team that forgot nothing and forgave even less — shutting down the Stars 3-0 and tying the series 1-1 in a performance that felt part playoff game, part robbery.
Let’s start with Stuart Skinner, who played like he had an invisibility cloak made of goalie pads. Not a single puck got past him — not even close. The Stars could’ve launched fireworks at him and he would’ve glove-saved them with a smirk.
Offensively, the Oilers weren’t just skating — they were carving up the ice like Gordon Ramsay on a block of cheese. Connor McDavid was out there looking like he brought his own speed setting, dishing out helpers like a caffeinated dinner host. Leon Draisaitl snapped in a goal that was smoother than jazz at midnight.
Zach Hyman? Oh, he added his own little “Hymonade” stand by crashing the net and stirring the Stars’ D-men like a blender on max.
Dallas looked flat — like someone unplugged their controller mid-period. Their power play was less “power” and more “please no more penalties,” and their zone time felt like a game of hide-and-seek where they forgot to seek.
Now the series shifts back to Edmonton where the Oilers faithful will be louder than a broken smoke alarm. If Game 2 was any clue, this series is going seven. Or six. Or chaos. Just the way we like it.
