00:00the stars on home ice trailing 3-1 entering the third and final period they scored five

00:06unanswered goals tom straight to win 6-3 and take a 1-0 series lead in the western conference

00:14finals over the oilers with that 6-3 game one win five goals straight in the third period

00:21how did dallas do it to win game number one well obviously dallas is awesome i'll be honest i was

00:27on the oilers money line last night no just partly a hedge because i do have a dallas future and like

00:32my ultimate takeaway from this game is the same thing i've said at times where it's like stewart

00:36skinner isn't a top tier goalie and like the line i want to keep using is like the greatest trick the

00:40devil ever pulled was convincing us that stewart skinner was some elite goalie when in fact he's

00:45not like he succeeded last year because the team in front of him is so good but on a one-on-one basis

00:50like sure jake ondra had his struggles in that game he's been good this postseason he has been great

00:55but he is better compared to stewart skinner and i would say that the defensive players especially

01:00that myra heistin is back for dallas are so much better than what we have on the oiler side of

01:04things so the dallas offense can go toe-to-toe with the oilers but the oilers defense can't go

01:09toe-to-toe with the dallas defense tyler sagan a couple of goals last night for the stars in a

01:15dramatic rally with a five goal third period for dallas to go up 1-0 mecchio the stars have

01:22home ice advantage and they were slightly favored on the money line last night around minus

01:26128 but entering the opening game of the western conference finals it was conor mcdavid leon dry

01:32siddle and the oilers an ever so slight series outright favorite to get back to a second consecutive

01:38stanley cup final dallas makes good on being a home ice favorite in game one and now the stars

01:45a pretty hefty favorite to win the western conference crown you see that number there at the bottom

01:51the most likely total games is the distance seven at plus 175 how tightly contested is the western

01:59conference finals about to be it's going to be really tightly contested i would say at this point

02:03again i have a star's future but just objectively i think taking the oilers on a serious price is fine

02:09at this point giving them getting them at plus 155 that would imply that the series is going longer

02:14so i would look to six or seven games you know some kind of pairing of that it's like okay the

02:18oilers can certainly win game two they were certainly in a spot to win game one you get that

02:22little piece that you get a little piece of six or seven games i think you would be in a good spot

02:26again it does leave you potential to hedge out once we get to that fifth or sixth game depending

02:30on where the series is game number two tomorrow in big d the uh stars in ever so slight home ice

02:36favorite total still at six and a half for a playoff hockey game it's high of course that went well

02:41over last night in game number one
