Stars show a feeling of urgency in the comeback victory in game 1 in the final of the Western Conference

Dallas – The Dallas stars have lost in the Western Conference final in the past two years, so they felt a feeling of urgency when they were sitting in the changing room during the second break on Wednesday and the Edmonton Oilers remained by two.

They couldn't afford to waste the next 20 minutes. In the third period, they achieved three consecutive power play goals in a breathtaking 6: 3 comeback victory in game 1 of the conference final in the American Airlines Center.

“It was pretty cool to be here three years in a row, but you won't be here for four or five years in a row, right?” Striker striker Tyler Seguin said. “So, you have to find ways how different nights, whether 3-1 or the next game came 3-1 and 5-1 this evening. You can't just try to answer the next game. I think that was the message. We have to answer now.”

The stars lost two years ago in six games in six games in six games in six games in six games against the Vegas Golden Knights. Every time they lost game 1 and stood in an early hole.

In two periods on Wednesday it didn't look like it was different. The Oilers had won eight of their last nine games. They not only led 3: 1, but also had a 45-35 advantage when attempts to shot. Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid buzzed.

“Sometimes we were a bit too passive, but it's difficult not to be if you gave such players at full speed,” said the stars striker Matt Duchene. “They both played incredibly tonight.”

However, this Dallas team has something. Do you remember game 7 of the first round against the Colorado Avalanche? The stars fell back 2-0 at the beginning of the third period, and then Mikko led them to a 4: 3 comeback victory.

“Our group has a peace,” said Seguin. “There was always. I've seen it in recent years and I don't know where it really started. But we have a lot of faith in ourselves. We never really think that we are not fully from a game.”
