00:00Edmonton definitely have the momentum in the series right now, but it comes down to one
00:10game.
00:11The first period is going to be critical.
00:12The first goal is going to be critical.
00:15As far as Bobrovsky is concerned, it was just about a week ago, guys, that he was minus
00:20400 to win the consummate trophy.
00:22All right.
00:23It was a slam dunk.
00:24The series is over.
00:25Bobrovsky was going to be the MVP.
00:28Fast forward, so after three games in the series, guys, obviously the Panthers were
00:33up three games to none, but Bobrovsky had a 953 say percentage.
00:37His goals against was 1.33.
00:40The last three games of the series, his goals against average is 5.06.
00:45His say percentage is 7.93 right now.
00:50The wheels have completely fallen off for him, and I said last week, Scott, I didn't
00:56think he was going to be able to find his game in Edmonton.
01:00It was a tough spot, right?
01:01You're off for three days all the time.
01:03There's these extended delays, so I didn't think he'd be able to get hot again and find
01:09himself in that hostile environment.
01:12Now they're back home.
01:14It's interesting.
01:15Paul Maurice yesterday gave him the complete weekend off, Scott.
01:19He didn't do anything.
01:21He didn't practice with the team yesterday.
01:24He hasn't been on the ice.
01:25They want him to be fresh and sort of start over here again.
01:30I don't think he played poorly.
01:32To be honest, though, he didn't play poorly in the last game, so we can go over his numbers
01:35and stuff, but those were legitimate goals, as you stated.
01:38The Oilers are just flying around.
01:40Scott, the Oilers are doing everything in the last couple of games that you and I thought
01:43they were going to do before the series started.
01:45I said they're going to be too fast for the Panthers.
01:47The Panthers are going to take penalties because the Oilers are going to freak them out how
01:51fast they are.
01:52I said Skinner's better than people think he is.
01:55The Oilers' defensemen are better than people give them credit for, and I look like a fool
01:59for the first couple of games in this series, but here we are right now, and I just don't
02:03think McDavid will be denied.
02:05He's too even-keeled.
02:06He's like a robot, this guy.
02:09There's one more game to go, and I tell you what, Scott, they won.
02:13There was a bunch of late goals in the game, so it wasn't really a 5-1 game the other night.
02:17McDavid didn't have a single point, all right, and the Oilers still won by multiple goals.
02:22That's how scary they are right now, and you know McDavid's got one more bullet left
02:26in the gun tonight, Scott.
02:28What does he bring to the table?
