The Edmonton Oilers snuck through to the Western Conference Finals in a game seven, but now they're major underdogs against the Dallas Stars.

The Edmonton Oilers have been considered genuine Stanley Cup threats all season long, and after a thrilling series against the Vancouver Canucks, they now find themselves one step away. Unfortunately, that one step would require them to get past the Dallas Stars, but according to a recent poll, there's not much faith in the Oilers to do that.

That support for the Stars continues all over social media as well, as the depth and star power of that team are seemingly overwhelming the thoughts of fans as the Oilers look to rely on their star duo of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.

Given the Stars impressive showing against the loaded Colorado Avalanche, who bear many similarities to these Oilers, it's no shock that they come in as the favourites, but it may be a surprise to some to see over 80% of analysts going against the last remaining Canadian team.

Ultimately, a seven game series can go either way, with both of these teams boasting solid goaltending and elite star power up front, and if the Oilers bring their best they can no doubt win this series, but it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone to see the Stars as the favourite ahead of game one.
