Connor McDavid blinked and the Stars had already scored again.
Welcome to the Western Conference Final, where the Oilers brought their fire… and the Stars brought a five-alarm goal fest.
Final score: Dallas Stars 6, Edmonton Oilers 3.
Date: May 21, 2025. Location: American Airlines Center, aka Planet Chaos.
From puck drop to horn blast, this one felt like a high-speed chase on skates — except the Stars were driving a Ferrari and the Oilers forgot to buckle up. Jason Robertson lit the lamp like it was his full-time job (because, well, it is), and Jake Oettinger played goalie like someone who took personally every Edmonton goal highlight ever posted on TikTok.
Poor Connor McDavid looked like he was stuck in a Black Mirror episode: creating scoring chances in one moment, watching them vanish into thin air the next.
And let’s talk about Dallas’ depth, shall we? The third line came out like they were trying to win the whole series in a single period. And hey, with that kind of pressure, the Oilers’ defense looked more scrambled than eggs at a brunch buffet.
Oilers fans — it’s just Game 1. But you might want to keep the stress pucks close and the “McJesus” prayers flowing.
Dallas? They’ve got the swagger, the speed, and enough goal-scoring sauce to open their own BBQ joint.
