EDMONTON -- Game three for the Edmonton Oilers was sure eventful.

Oilers fans went from the highs of a 2-0 lead melt away to the Dallas Stars. Things looked good when they were able to tie the game at 3-3 after surrendering three goals in the second period.
The final score was 5-3 in favor of the Stars, but the margins for error are razor thin in the playoffs. Especially with a team like the Stars - where you give them an inch and they take a mile.
A consolation prize for Oilers fans could be one memorable moment from the post-game show on the NHL TNT broadcast.
Wayne Gretzky and Paul Bissonnette were on the panel together. Bissonnette had mentioned that if he was going to get any jersey - it would be of Igor Shesterkin.
Gretzky then fired home the ultimate shade towards Bissonnette. "You know why," Gretzky began, "your tied in goals." Bissonnette immediately fell silent while Gretzky and a few of the other panels laugh at his expense.
Oilers' fans need that laugh after the tough game they watched last night. The rollercoaster of emotions is commonplace around this time of year.

Hopefully for Oilers' fans, they will see their team rebound and give a full 60 minute effort tomorrow night.
