Connor McDavid and Edmonton’s best were too much for Dallas to clear its Western Conference finals hurdle.
Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz falls to the ice between Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid and left wing Zach Hyman during the second period of Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Western Conference finals, Sunday, June 2, 2024, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.Two weeks ago, after defeating the last two Stanley Cup champions, Stars coach Pete DeBoer did a masterful job of telling his listeners that Dallas’ next opponent“This Edmonton team has been on a roll for six months.
That left DeBoer with just one card left to play. “We’ve been the best road team in the season and the playoffs, and we’ve got to go win a road game,’’ he said. It’s probably the most frequently used cliché in the NHL that “our best players have to be our best players.‘’ Once in a while, it is converted to “our best players have to be better than their best players.’’At the end of this series, there is no doubt that McDavid, with 31 points in 18 playoff games, is the best player on the Oilers and the best player remaining in the postseason. I don‘t honestly know who the Stars’ best players are at this moment.
