00:00Oilers beat the Stars 4-1. They now also lead the series three games to one, heading back to Dallas.

00:07Tie game, and Corey Perry doing the honors, untying it on ESPN.

00:13Perry doing the screening out in front. He's made a living at that for a long time.

00:18Dreisaitl, Bouchard passed up the bomb. McDavid down low, Nugent Hawkins.

00:24And in front they score! And it's Corey Perry!

00:27I mean, this guy's 40 years old and still dealing. He'll cut your heart out, too.

00:34So, I think they are just unbelievable. You talk about a well-oiled machine.

00:40They're going back. They're going to the final. It's going to happen one way or the other.

00:44They could lose game five. It doesn't matter. They're going to win that series.

00:47They're not losing three in a row. That team won't lose three in a row to anybody.

00:51I don't disagree with you here. You know that I was on the Stars.

00:55You know, I wanted to see the Stars win. The Stars aren't winning now.

00:59I don't see them beating this team.

01:01And I know Edmonton's starting to pile up a couple of injuries, which we'll talk about.

01:04But I just don't think that they're going to be able to conquer this mountain.

01:08Let's hear from DeBoer on what went wrong for the Stars.

01:12Yeah, a little bit of the same story, right?

01:14I just can't get that lead.

01:16Yeah, I loved our first period.

01:18Other than, you know, I thought we missed the net too much.

01:21I think 15 missed shots.

01:24So we've got to make it a little bit tougher and make sure we're hitting nets in those situations.

01:29And then, you know, but really to play a period like that and, you know, not get out even or up,

01:35you know, you're actually down a goal is a tough spot.

01:39But, you know, and then the other story is obviously the penalty kill.

01:44We've got to get a kill tonight.

01:48That's the difference in the game.

01:49The first period, not capitalizing and then not stopping their power play.

01:55Yeah, and look, how about not stopping them at all with any facet of the game?

02:0110-2 in, what is it?

02:03Like 10-2 in the last two games, right, in goals?

02:06Yeah.

02:06It's embarrassing.

02:07So, like, they're just so much better.

02:10It's not even funny.

02:11And they'll lose to the Oilers again just like they did last year.

02:14It doesn't matter what he says.

02:17This will be the third straight year they're going to lose in the conference finals.

02:20Yeah.

02:21Third straight year.

02:22I think I saw they're the first team in NHL history in the Western Conference to make the conference finals three years in a row,

02:28and they're not going to win the cup.

02:30Usually teams that have done that have ended up winning.

02:32Dallas isn't even going to get to the final in any of those three years.

02:36So, just unlucky for them.

02:38They're also 0-16 every time they've gotten down 3-1 in a series.

02:43The Dallas Stars.

02:46Edmonton has not lost a 3-1 series lead since 1988.

02:51So, you have a lot of numbers on the bad side of things.

02:55Now, as far as the injuries go, you and Gabe mentioned this earlier.

02:59Zach Hyman left the game.

03:02He's out for the remainder of the playoffs.

03:04He had surgery for an upper body injury.

03:06Of course, Knobloch wouldn't tell anybody what it was.

03:09It's his shoulder.

03:09I watched the play a thousand times.

03:12You thought it was his shoulder that he got when he was coming through?

03:16Well, when I saw it, I thought it was his wrist.

03:18I thought he broke his wrist.

03:20Right.

03:20I was told today it was his shoulder.

03:22He had surgery on his shoulder.

03:24Yeah.

03:25I was watching it during the show last night.

03:27I'm going, what is...

03:28Because he ran off the ice so quick, shaking his arm or shaking his hand.

03:32It was so weird.

03:34It looked like he was barely touched, too.

03:35And I tore my rotator.

03:37Mafia remembers I ran off the court quickly as well to get to the bike it in.

03:40I was like, well, it's so weird.
