What Oilers could have done differently to slow down Stars’ momentum in Game 3



Jason Strudwick joins TSN’s Ryan Rishaug to discuss what the Oilers could have done differently in the second period to counter punch the Stars who were dominating at the time, how Leon Draisaitl took a step back in Game 3, if there’s any conversation behind the scenes as to who should start for Edmonton in Game 4, and much more.

  1. Remembered the game is 60 minutes long? If they played 60 like they play 20, they'd rarely lose.

    Players like Nurse, Vinny and Ceci need to remember that they're actually defensemen and it's up to them to run their opponents down…. No one is afraid to play against them. What a bunch of overgrown wimps.

  2. Since the La Bomba incident, (honest mistake) the Stars Arena dj and Stars fans have donated over 10k dollars to Ben's charity, and now Edmonton is returning the favor by donating to the Stars charity. Classy move fans. 👏

  3. Ryan…over-reacting online Fans?….are you kidding me? Many of us have been critical of Woodcraft/Skinner from Day 1 and after his first Playoff implosion we were done….and we have not bought back in….so 2 years of waving red flags is not knee-jerk online reaction so what the hell are you trying to sell us BigDog? Excuses? Truth is Shaugger some of us have never wavered in our honest evaluations of Skinner and Oilers Management and you and the fellas did not listen….face it man there is no explanation for not getting Mcdavid a #1 Goalie in 9 years…none……..and we all know that Knoblauch was handcuffed with Skinner from day-1….Skinner was inherited from Woodcraft who had Skinner tailormade for his style of Coaching……so "no" there is likely no conversation behind closed doors about not playing Skinner because THEY HAVE NO RATIONAL; CHOICE….they painted themselves into this corner…by excluding Jack Campbell from the equation…and IMHO as well as others who see it like me…Jack should have been the Starter from day-1 and Skinner should still be his Student and Ryan Black-Jack can win the 7 games we need to become Champions. I will never let the pitiful bush league Player Asset Management we have seen in Edmonton for so long be swept under the rug…… Ryan lets keep things clear here ok…Skinner was developed specifically to play for Woody within Woodys System…and hes a PERFECT FIT FOR THAT…his mentality and his natural strengths all FIT PERFECTLY with Woodys Firewagon focus…I like Skinner but hes got to be used properly IMHO , and Kris does not offer the same situation Woody offered. Round peg and Square hole.

  4. I think of Darnell Nurse. I think of a $9,000,000 contract. And I imagine a man on all fours taking a pick up the keister.

    Oh wait, I didn't imagine any of that!

    LET'S GO STARS!

  5. This series is over. Dallas is more fresh, more talented and deeper. And the ultimate equalizer, goaltender, is a clear Stars advantage. Oilers might get 1 more win but last night will prove to have been a must win for EDM in hindsight.
