The Dallas Stars fall in game four by a final score of 5-2 to the Edmonton Oilers to tie the series at two games a piece in the Western Conference Final. On today’s episode of Locked On Stars, Joey reacts to the Stars game four loss after having a two nothing lead in the first period that quickly evaporated before the first 20 minutes were over. More importantly and the big headline from a Stars perspective is the injury to Chris Tanev. After blocking a shot from Evander Kane, he left the game in the second period and did not return. Joey goes into the options Head Coach Pete DeBoer can go to without Tanev moving forward, but it would be significant blow to the Stars and one they may not be able to recover from. Aside from Tanev, Joey explains how crazy of a series this has been so far and how important game five will be back in Dallas. He thinks whoever wins game five will win this series, because fatigue could start to play a factor for either side who has not shown much of an ability to slow the other side down in the first four games.

I thought you said the stars are deep I've been hearing that whole year 🤔. And I'm a Stars fan probably before you were born. Oh by the way I still call him the North Stars 👍.
Edmonton fan here losing Chris tanev is a big loss for Dallas but it’s a advantage for the oilers cause he is a good dman
Don’t panic. Stars are resilient and will bounce back in gm 5 🔥 # nxtmanup
Honestly the loss is the loss, But the total lack of ANY fight in the 3rd was what has me concerned and disappointed! Not gonna win everyone, and certainly didnt expect to sweep or go 7/8-1 on the road… But GOD DAMN BOYS, Play with some f’ing pride man, No hitting, Total, TOTAL lack of any Offensive effort, The defense in front of Otter was a slap in the FACE to him. So for me, screw the loss, Its what it is, but the total TOTAL lack of a push back, or pride in play, in that 3rd was really really sad to see.
It's been a fun and entertaining series that has been stressful to watch for sure. Likely going 7, not going to be easy.
What power play? Its non existent. They should just say, we don't do power plays anymore because it just sets up our opponents for short handed goals.
Pavelski deserves a cup. Hopefully he can get one eventually. Just not meant to be this year
The Oilers PK has more goals this series than the Dallas power play. That’s something I didn’t expect from this series!
Really thought they finally had it this year😢😢😢😢😢long damn offseason
The Oilers PK practices with the Oilers PP…. Helps them both.
Tanev got injured when my Oilers played Calgary 2 seasons ago… when healthy, he’s a beast…
Gotta give Edmonton credit. They coulda folded up after the start we had. And they came back and dominated us the rest of the game.
Pretty easy to do when we give the kind of effort we did. Halfway thru the 3rd period, the defensemen weren't even pressing up. Despite being down 2 goals. Despite the Oilers essentially playing prevent defense.. SMH
Not to mention our PP being absolutely dreadful. Just a bad game all the way around, outside of the first 7 mins or so.. Better get our shit together now that it's a best of 3, with 2 games at home.
Y’all get it now! 2 dam good teams! Oil is not a 1 line team. Oil is not 2 great players. Not deep enough. And whatever else. Can we see it best of 3. Let’s go Oil!
Frauds
It’s not that they lost realistically speaking 2-2 seemed like the most likely outcome after 4. It’s how they lost. I saw a team that just quit and gets too comfortable after a lead. You’re not going to win a cup with that kind of play. You have to be competitive down the wire even in games that you lose. Margins are small.
