Peter DeBoer tore into a journalist yesterday after the game

Despite the home-ice advantage, the Stars delivered a disappointing performance, recording only 20 shots on goal.

This underperformance is surprising for Peter DeBoer's team, usually strong in the playoffs.

Game 5, often decisive in a tied 2-2 series, was a resounding failure for Dallas.

After the defeat, DeBoer sharply reacted to a journalist's question during the press conference, criticizing his absence throughout the season.

The journalist had highlighted the Stars' lack of vitality, particularly in the second period.

With only 10 shots in two periods, the criticism seems justified. Now, the Stars face elimination, with Game 6 taking place in Edmonton where the Oilers hope to end the series in front of their fans.
