The Oilers are rolling. Winners of five in a row going into Wednesday night’s action against the Dallas Stars. Game Two was a heated affair with the Oilers really only pulling away in the second period, otherwise a lot of back and forth between the two teams. What will Game Three hold for our mighty Oilers of Edmonton? Stay tuned in this article to find out starting at 7pm MT

About 15 minutes prior to game time, the stream will be live here:

How we got here:

In case you missed it, we ran a completely random sim (aside from some tweaking to the sliders to make them more realistic for a 20 minute period sim) and the Edmonton Oilers, valiantly fought hard to make a series of it in the Western Conference Finals before falling to the Dallas Stars in 7 games.

Then #NationSims2 began with us playing the Chicago Blackhawks in the play-in round.

Here is a break down of how all the other series went:

The Lineups:

Since the playoffs started, I have been trying to get you guys to answer a poll that lets some… I mean, I have been happy to do this haha. This time I think I will run a start or sit poll on social.
