00:00All right, let's flip it over to the ice, and we'll go down to South Florida.

00:05We have a 1-0 series lead by the Panthers here.

00:08Game number two, setting up with Edmonton and Florida at the Fandu Sports.

00:11We actually had an opening number at a minus 152 price in the favor of Florida.

00:15That's now dipped to a minus 140 price and a total of five and a half.

00:19Does this series get evened up tonight on the ice here, Tom?

00:22I think it does, and I think the Oilers played really well in game one.

00:27Final shot attempts were in favor of the Oilers, 70-42.

00:30High danger shot attempts were in favor of the Oilers, 18-6.

00:32We look at the Oilers, 3.74 expected goals, and the Panthers at 1.85.

00:37So besides scoring, the Oilers did a whole lot right, and that last goal was an empty

00:41net goal.

00:42So really, it was a 2-0 game.

00:43They did a lot right.

00:44They limited the chances for the Panthers, who have been unbelievable at generating chances

00:47over the past two series, as we saw.

00:49So I like the Oilers to record 10-plus shots in the first period, which we saw them do

00:53in game one.

00:5410 in the first, 9 shots in the second, sitting at plus 112.

00:57I think they have to come out with that energy, because if they give up that first goal, that

01:00crowd's going to get behind them.

01:01The Panthers are just going to get into the grind, do what they do on the floor check,

01:04and ultimately, it's going to be a remake of game one.

01:07So the Oilers have to come out with that energy to start the first period.

01:11It was a very clean sheet for Bob.

01:1432 shots faced, 32 saves made by Sergei Bobrovsky.

01:18You had there not only the Oilers with 10-plus shots in that opening period, but the best

01:23player in hockey, Edmonton's Connor McDavid, finding twine tonight.

01:28Vecchio, if that happens, and you can explain why you were looking at McDavid, does Edmonton

01:32even this series with a victory in game two?

01:35I think they do.

01:36You know, plus 165 for a McDavid goal is a line we essentially never get.

01:41Hit six shots on goal in game one.

01:43As the series goes on, if the scoring is still going to be limited, McDavid's minions are

01:48going to be creeping up, a hair here, a hair there, because they can't be rolling the fourth

01:52line and the third line too much.

01:53If they're literally not scoring, and that means more McDavid, more Dreisleiter, more

01:57Zach Hyman, Raymond Hopkins, all those players have to do more.

02:00So at plus 165 for the best player in the world with six shots on goal in the first

02:03game, I will take that every single time.
