EDMONTON — It’s the beauty of sport: Just when it seems like the game is getting easy, it gets hard. Real hard.
McDavid ended the night with three assists and an average shift length of 1:14, roughly a half-minute longer than the 45 seconds that has come to be accepted as an average NHL shift length. He and Draisaitl never left the ice in overtime, with Jamie Benn ending this affair 1:14 in with just his second goal of the season — belying Benn’s $9.5 million cap hit.
"I have a saying I use all the time: Every play counts," began head coach Dave Tippett. "It could be a change, just a puck that has to get out, or it could be a play that — instead of a hope play — you just put it into an area and you live to play another day.Dallas dominated the third period after having been dominated in the second.
There was just a certain looseness to Edmonton’s game. A carefree style that can in equal parts win games like this one 7-2, or turn a 4-2 lead into a 5-4 loss.
DallasStars Spec Dallas was 9-1-1 in their last 11. How are they a sure two point I get they blew a lead but that game wasn't a gimme...
DallasStars EdmontonOilers Spec Lesson. What? I thought we learned this 'lesson' already about 14 times last year. How many times does it take?
Spec DallasStars EdmontonOilers 'batting down the hatches' lol 'Batten'
Spec DallasStars EdmontonOilers Yah like why pump the brakes in the third and pretend you can hold the lead. Should have played the way they play and pot two or three more. SUCKS
Spec DallasStars EdmontonOilers Kiss my ass sportsnet and everyone that works for you. That includes NHL
DallasStars EdmontonOilers Spec A point by any other name is still a point but man, this game should've been 2 points in the bank. Disappointing. When these games turn to losses (i.e. no point), then it's truly time to worry. But I'm not... they're for real.
DallasStars EdmontonOilers Spec Yes, and if we could just not do that anymore....
