It’s the great quandary, and a question the Edmonton Oilers simply can not solve.

They go into Dallas, play one of the NHL’s top teams on their terms, out-battling the Stars in a game of big boy hockey that wasn’t settled until the final 10 minutes. Edmonton out-Dallased Dallas, and won 6-3.

Two days later you come home to a Vancouver Canucks team that played at home the night before, and grab a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes. A couple hours later the Canucks are jumping on their plane with a 5-2 win, and the Oilers are left with a blank stare and an empty cup, losers of three straight at home.

“It’s unacceptable,” said a visibly upset Zach Hyman. “We had a really good start and were up 2-0 and were the fresher team and then they scored five unanswered. You can’t win like that.”
