The Edmonton Oilers secured a historic victory in Game 1 of the conference finals against the Dallas Stars, marking the first time they have won a game at this stage during the Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl era. The Oilers dominated with a 29-13 edge in shot attempts and a 13-5 edge in shots on goal, ultimately winning 3-0. Connor McDavid scored the game-winning goal (GWG) in double overtime, adding to the excitement and euphoria among fans and players alike. Kris Knoblauch, with a giant grin, described the game as 'exciting.' McDavid was also seen passionately arguing about a high-sticking double minor.

It's wild that tonight marks the first time the Edmonton Oilers have ever won a game in the conference final during the McDavid and Draisaitl era.
I do hope that in the euphoria of his GWG, someone still asks McDavid what exactly he was arguing so passionately about on that high-sticking double minor.
