00:00seems the markets have this game as a coin flip. So does a, does an over help Edmonton?

00:08Does the under help Florida? Like how do you approach this game here tonight?

00:13I think when you're looking at the elimination game here, Joe, I don't like taking this one

00:17to the under because so many things can happen. We saw the Florida Panthers pull Bob Roski early

00:23in that last game, trying to get some momentum going, trying to get that goal. And I do think

00:28in this situation, again, we're going to see these coaches make calls that we wouldn't normally

00:33see during the regular season. Pulling a goalie with a couple minutes left in the second period

00:38when you're trying to score on the net and you're down a couple goals won't be uncommon in this

00:44game, I don't think. So I do think you look at the over in this one. I think there is an advantage

00:49for the Edmonton Oilers for it to go over that total. But again, if Edmonton's down, they're

00:54going to pull Stuart Skinner. Stuart Skinner has always been the weakest link here for me for the

00:59Edmonton Oilers as well. So I do think the Florida Panthers, they have to find a way to hit him. He's

01:04been playing phenomenally well. And Edmonton's found a way to go high on Bob Roski, something

01:09they couldn't do in those first three games. They were only able to hit him through that five hole,

01:14but now that they're able to go high, they're not hitting that crossbar. It's going to be a game,

01:18I do believe, where these two teams trade back goals, maybe after that first period, though.
