The Edmonton Oilers are rewriting the Stanley Cup narrative, not by dominating puck possession, but by mastering the art of counterattacking hockey. In this episode of Locked On Oilers, host Nick Zararis breaks down how Edmonton’s adaptability has become their secret weapon during the Western Conference Final against the Dallas Stars. While conventional hockey wisdom praises possession, the Oilers are thriving by flipping the script, absorbing pressure, defending with structure, and striking back with elite efficiency.

Nick dives into the nuances of how soccer-style counters have transformed the Oilers' game, supported by advanced metrics like expected goals and high-danger chances. He explores how players like Evan Bouchard, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and even reclamation additions like John Klingberg are impacting the playoffs.
