Paul Coffey's influence on the Oilers defensive play has definitely been a huge factor in Edmonton getting this far.

Shannon was so fed up that he started rightfully criticizing the commercials 😂

The Oilers look like a team that made a lot of mistakes, repeatedly, and has learned from them. It’s all part of a championship journey. The coach is ridiculously deadpan and calm. Never up, never down. Just keeps his ship on course.

Guys. I'm starting to think Dallas isn't going to sweep the Oilers like we were promised.

For the first time since May 27, 2006, Exactly 6579 days ago, the Edmonton Oilers are 1 win away from a Stanley Cup Finals appearance!!!

Kris Knoblauch truly has balls of steel. I truly questioned his decision to put Broberg in against such a good team in Dallas but Phil has been awesome. The amount of buttons Knob has pushed correctly has been unreal.

The special team makes the difference in this game. Oilers PP is 2 for 3 while their PK stays perfect in this series.

Mad respect from a oilers fan toward Tanev

Tanev is one tough dude. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s playing with a broken bone in his foot

It's been awhile since i've seen my Oilers still playing in June 😄

That Spec Savers commercial with the guy being an absolute dunce through the airport and ending up on an empty stairway is incredibly senseless, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's stupid.

Heck of a road game by the Oilers. Stars are also a great road team, so winning game 6 at home in Edmonton is not going to be easy. Still pretty far from over.

Oilers are really putting to bed all the dumb, forced narratives self-proclaimed hockey experts have been parroting all season long. Skinner is playing great, the PK is flawless, they have the most 5on5 goals in the playoffs, the defence is shutting down both Vancouver and Dallas, two teams who were both supposed to walk all over the Oilers with their superior depth, which is also being constantly disproven with Oilers getting one or two goals every single game from their depth players. This series is not over by any stretch, and whoever comes out of the East will be a tough opponent. But if the Oilers end up doing the unthinkable, I'm going to go on the pettiest, most merciless I-told-you-so revenge tour across all comment sections spanning the entire season.

Can’t believe my Oilers are this close to a conference championship, almost doesn’t feel real

I can't wait for the narrative if the Oilers make it to the next round that Dallas was just another weak opponent and now they're finally playing a legit team. Both LA and Vancouver were good opponents, and Dallas is also a great team, the Oilers are motivated to get it done. It's not a case of their opponents being garbage, it's actually that the Oilers are good, playing well, and able to stay relatively healthy.

Dallas and New York both look outmatched. It's hard to see either advancing at this stage.

I'm a Leaf fan....but I want EDM to win this series AND the cup to give a giant F@$k - You to Gary Bettman. 🇨🇦💪

stu was great but i love that his streakiness has forced the oilers to play suffocating defense

Oilers amazed me this season from last place to one of the top teams and maybe can win a cup

That goal by Johnstone was impressive; even Shesterkin or Bobrovsky probably wouldn't have stopped that one.

Its as if the Oilers stopped making mistakes and are totally locked in.

As an Edmonton fan I was extremely proud of how the oilers played today. They have come so far since the beginning of the year. With that being said we can’t count Dallas out yet! They are a resilient team that has come back from being down before. Hopefully Edmonton comes out flying and doesn’t sleep on Dallas in game 6. Go Oilers!

The story of the Oilers this season has been nothing short of spectacular. From 3-9-1 and a coaching change to up three games to two in the conference finals. Hopefully this story ends with the cup returning to a Canadian Team for the first time in 30 seasons of NHL hockey and for the first time in the sallary cap era. As a Colorado fan I have been rooting for Edmonton this series and hope they are able to finish the job. 5 wins to go to the Stanley cup.

Dallas was seriously flat in the first 2 periods. Good defense by Edmonton though

When we least expect it the Stars completely implode. This was an issue throught the year when at times seemingly out of nowhere this team would just stop playing, stop skating, stop doing anything that resembled a team interested in competing. I point the fingers at ALL of them beginning with Otter whos numbers at home in the post season have been abysmal. He tends to just check out for no reason and stays gone for long stretches before snapping back out of it. But he's hardly alone and the Stars top forwards have been MIA for large stretches of the post season. Another issue is their blue line and outside of Tanev and Miro they lack size strength and skill and Edmonton has dialed in on that and has been eating them up. I pretty much feel this series is over as the Stars have once again been figured out and are getting outplayed and dare I say out coached.

So it looks like the Mavs have pushed the Stars off the mountain. A soul for a soul?

This Oilers team isn’t here if they have Woody. Woody made every mistake possible last season but imo coaches like Knob are who need to be celebrated, making the easy decision is easy but the hard ones are where coaches get their names.

I’ve been waiting since 2006 for my team to get back in and 34 years since they last won the cup. I was only 11 years old back then but have some memories of the series against Boston. I know there’s still LOTS of work left but I can’t help but wonder just how close they are…. my heart cannot take this 🤣

Johnstons goal was insane

Shannon, I love your tangents. Keep them up.

Oh man the travel for the finals would be tough between FL and edm

Dallas did not play well until the finial 5minutes. they really have to get it together let’s go oilers vs cats final

We need a video about Shannon raging over commercials 😂

Lot of series left, I think a lot of people are counting Dallas out when they shouldn’t. Hopefully the oilers can find a way to close this out.

Nice job Edmonton

Pain…gg oilers can’t be mad

This series has had massive momentum shifts. The Stars in game 2 and 3 and the Oilers since mid 1st period of the last game. Stars weren't even getting shots on net tonight.

Its as if the Oilers stopped making mistakes and are totally locked in

Edmonton is so close to the Finals Let's Go Oilers win Sunday game.

If its Oilers and Panthers though... Idk, Panthers are kinda terrifying, and they just went to the Cup Finals. But Edmonton, if they do beat Dallas, will have beaten a team that took out the Avs and VGK, so... kind of a toss up.

I THOUGHT THE SAME THING ABOUT THE SPECSAVERS COMMERCIAL. It made no sense nor did it make me want to purchase glasses from specsavers

I'm a huge Dallas Stars fan from D/FW, but also a realist. Oilers are hungrier and have the energy. My Stars look apathetic and lethargic. The Oilers belong in the Stanley cup finals tbh.

Brought back memories with the name " Eddie Bellfour ."

THE OILERS ARE ONE WIN AWAY FROM THE SCF! THIS OILERS TEAM AND SEASON FEELS LIKE WHAT STL BLUES DID IN 2019. I CAN FEEL IT IN MY VEINS, OILERS ARE GONNA MOVE ONTO THE SCF AT HOME COME SUNDAY EVENING.

Neutral fan here. I have always been a huge fan of Pavelski, it has been hard to watch his complete lack of production and influence during the playoffs. On the other hand, I can't help but love Wyatt Johnston, what a talent. Good luck to fans of these remaining teams. My guess is that Florida gets it done this season, but any of the four can do it.

That intro gave me nostalgia for the good ol hockey days and I'm both an Oilers fan and wasn't even born yet - that's some good content

Stars and the series aren't done. Composed game by the Oilers, almost like they've seen and done it before. Florida would make a very good opponent for them. LETS GO OILERS!!!!

7:22 This is a MASTERPIECE!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 👍👍👍👍

Johnstons tip was crosby esk- I watched that and was like, "yep... thats nasty"

Florida's got the cup in the bag. I can't see anyone beating them

Remember the Pens in 2015-16 lost Game 5 to Tampa at Home in the Conference Finals are were down 3-2...

We had the exact same conversation about the Spec Savers commercial too. Best thought is that the commercial was filled without a product in mind and they sold it to Spec Savers.

I have to hand it to you Shannon, the Oilers have taken out your Canucks, and almost Dallas..and here you are with a huge voice of respect, and educated reasons for the Oilers to win it all, and in an Oiler jersey! The Oil have been/ learnt thru multiple heartbreaks, and it’s their time! Bravo 👏 man!

Hatcher was a big part of that physicality for the 2000s Stars

I love this channel! Thank you for doing all you do!

Had said it during the Vancouver series, that series, was the best thing that happened to Edmonton in these playoffs. It forced them to have to dig deep, play solid defense, and adjust. Without that series, this one here, would be entirely different. Edmonton learned many lessons in 7 short games against Vancouver, and it is paying dividends here now. They have to win 1 of 2. I imagine they manage to pull it off in either G6, or G7. I think it's their series to lose now, outside of the 3-2 advantage, just in momentum and control.

The rant about the commercial (7:22), the comments about putting the mavericks on the ice (9:50), that line about the Oilers PK ("...the Stars do get a powerplay, so -- Edmonton with the chance to kill another one!", 10:02), ... it's this sort of dry humor that plays a large part in why I would bother watching a guy with a whiteboard reviewing the games in his basement. xD Always a pleasure, Shannon! That, and your rich hockey knowledge and intelligent+well informed (often strong) opinions! :)

Evan Bouchard is the reason the Oilers made the playoffs, he's the reason the Oilers beat the Canucks and he's the reason the Oilers are up 3 games to 2 right now. 18g-64a-82p with a +34 in 81 games, he's got 6g-19a-25p and a +15 in 17 playoff games, in this game he had 2 assists and 3 blocked shots. Nobody mentions him, he's like the X-Man Forget-Me-Not, Rodney Dangerfield and the Invisible Man rolled into one player. The Oilers won me $450 by advancing to the Western Finals, I'm using half of my winnings to get a Bouchard #2 Oilers jersey.

Pavelski looks so washed. He, Duchene, & Marchment have done very little. Stars look slow & soft outside of a couple guys. Lacked urgency all night. Just pathetic. Credit to the Oilers for making this a track meet and dominating possession

Brett Hull had his foot in the Crease...no goal, on to tonight's game, i said 4-1, under 22 shots, almost nailed it

That spec saver commercial bugs me too.

i'm excited and nervous we are one win away from the Cup Final But It Isn't Over Yet till that Final Buzzer. Hoping Oilers Come out with this same Effort for game 6.

1 of your best recaps ever. Loved your side takes on the commercial and how the Dallas Mavericks should have suited up. LOL. :) Hope you do more of these asides in the future.

I have a feeling that this series is over on Sunday. I just have a feeling McDavid and draisaitl aren't going to let this opportunity get away from them, but give Coffey and knoblouch thier flowers,coffey has a great defense system that is working,and knoblouch isn't afraid to take you out of the line up if you aren't performing well or shake up the line up after a bad game. This team is definitely learning from their past mistakes.

I am really hoping for an Oilers and Panthers finals because it will not only be a great series between two very talented teams but also because either a Canadian team is gonna get a cup for the first time in a while or a franchise without a cup title will get their first.

Skinner might become the next Antii Neimi

Pete is golden in game 7 either way fantastic evenly matched series when the oilers needed the depth most they had it wow the defensive play has been completely suffocating hard shots stiffened

Thanks!

That was an amazing breakdown of that glasses commercial Shannon. You really exposed those guys.

Game 6 should be interesting. There is good amount of players in Stars that should leave it all on the line because it's their last chance. Didn't see this coming before the series.

this feels like when Oilers won game 6 last round, there was the feeling they couldn't lose game 7. After these last two games, feels like it will be a herculean task for Dallas to win in game six in Edmonton.

Glad you said something about that commercial. I thought I was losing my mind like that...made no sense.

If I have to listen to that hockey game grocery store ad one more time my head is going to explode.

Love the content my man. I like how it’s always a different jersey and the team symbols on the board are almost always different. Cool way to keep repetitive content fresh.

I'm still loving the green board caps at the Stars arena. Edmonton didn't let that distract them tonight!

You can see Shannons disappointment. As a Rangers fan, I really feel that.

My sister made the same rant about the specsavers commercial during this game. Thanks for the laugh (glad I wasn't drinking anything at the time)

Hahaha. The Specsavers commercial was talked about last week by radio hosts in Edmonton (Pepper and Dylan 91.7), and they said the same thing! They don't get it. Great game by the Oilers, though. It seems like the Stars just don't want to win.

The jinxing by saying Dallas is already out is wild 😭

gotta love the commercial reviews

Very impressed watching Janmark out there. He is quietly making a great play every shift.

That was a quick turn around

I love watching the Oilers depth lines showing up huge in this playoffs. McLeod, Brown and Holloway are all playing at maximum effort, and Broberg is going to be a fine addition to the blue line.

DeBoer has a perfect record in the Stanley Cup.

Knobbby hasn’t been getting enough credit since start of the year he’s brought calm composed presence & Coffey like two coaches that have rlly turned the tied, edm is deeper & can play with anyone it’s been fun journey!! And one more is all it needs 🔥🔥⛽️⛽️

You’re right about the pacific not getting the respect it deserves. Sure the Pacific has some bad teams but the travel the Pacific has to do to play these games is by far the most gruelling and taxing of any division. Look at the distance that must be covered to play out here

I’m so glad he also doesn’t get the airport spec savers commercial it makes no sense lol

Wish the hockey guy would give opinions more. Always interested to hear it

Hahahaha the spec savers! Its brutal! Is it a water commercial!!??

Lol commercial rant best part of the video

I was not expecting that.

THG new outlet; reviewing commercials!

genuniley enjoying cathing up with your vids, thanks man, HEY! do you wanna see a ziggy "Good ole hockey game" cover. on accordion , id do it if you say heck yah , (wearing my orange)

Bottoms up!

Shanny is the fastest hand in the West with these uploads

Both Florida and Edmonton go on the road and win game 5. Let's see if either can close out their series at home.

Thank you for talking about that horrible commercial. I alway knew I liked you, despite being a Vancouver and Dallas fan. Lets Go Oilers!

Huge Nuge, the Next Man Up!

Haha. I also commented on that commercial. It has NOTHING to do with the product either.

Not to mention edmontons PK has been lights out
