Western Conference Finals Preview: Dallas Stars vs. Edmonton Oilers

Who doesn’t love a good sequel? Godfather II, Empire Strikes Back, Death Wish 2. All solid flicks that enhanced the original, right? Well, welcome to WCF Part II: The Duel in Dallas. The Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers are running back last year’s Western Conference Finals that went six games with the Oilers coming out on top.

Should we expect anything different this year? Not really. It should be a close, hard-fought, back-and-forth series. Both teams have shown flashes of being a true Stanley Cup contender through the first two rounds as Dallas knocked off Colorado and Winnipeg while Edmonton took out Los Angeles and Vegas.
