00:00The Oilers are the first team to get themselves into the Final Four of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

00:06They are in the Western Conference Finals.

00:08They take the Vegas Golden Knights out in five games.

00:11Last night, what a change from what we're used to in an Edmonton game.

00:16Well under the total.

00:17In fact, scoreless, through 60 minutes, they go to overtime where your old friend from the Penguins,

00:26is Kasperi Kapanen breaking the ice and sending Edmonton through to the West Finals on ESPN.

00:34Right in front of their goalies.

00:35Guys are sacrificing themselves right now in overtime.

00:37Todd Colson finds Dreisaitl, sets up Nurse, shoots.

00:41Stay made by Hill.

00:42He does a snow angel in the blue paint.

00:44It's on the goal line.

00:45Score!

00:46It's over.

00:48The series is over.

00:50The Edmonton Oilers win it in overtime.

00:56Oh man, I love it.

01:02Cash money, son.

01:04Same day cash.

01:06JG Wentworth.

01:07Cash for them.

01:08What a job.

01:10Vegas finished.

01:11Edmonton moves on in five games where they will await the winner of Dallas and Winnipeg

01:15in the West Finals.

01:16Now, I got a couple from McDavid here for you.

01:20For a guy whose team just won in five games, he was in some kind of move.

01:25He is all business, Connor McDavid, when it comes getting back and winning the Stanley

01:29Cup.

01:30First, everybody killed this Stuart Skinner, including me, that he's a hack, that he stinks.

01:36Right.

01:36That had shutouts in games four and five.

01:39Here's the first one from McDavid.

01:41I guess you could shut up about our goalie.

01:43Well, hopefully it shuts a lot of people up that we're talking about him, first and foremost.

01:48But, you know, we've always had belief in him, you know.

01:54Comes in and pitches two shutouts.

01:56Can't say enough good things.

01:57To see Casparica and then getting the winning goal in overtime is a great illustration of

02:02the depth of the team.

02:03Absolutely.

02:04Absolutely.

02:05You know, a guy that didn't start the series playing, you know, comes in and is asked to

02:11play in a big role.

02:12Um, and, uh, and finds a way to get a goal there.

02:17A huge goal.

02:18No, I'll give this guy credit.

02:21Like, he's always, uh, he, he comes across as like just doldrums and like he's, it's all

02:27a pain in his ass.

02:28But he actually always stands there and takes it.

02:33The guy does it every night.

02:35He's the superstar of the franchise.

02:38He is the Derek Jeter of the Yankees, of the Oilers, right?

02:42Like, same thing.

02:43McDavid is the face.

02:45He always is front and center.

02:47He doesn't want to do any interview ever, but he does all of them.

02:50And he just answers the questions.

02:52And he's as vanilla as they come.

02:54But he, I'll give him credit.

02:55He does it.

02:56He always does what he has to do.

02:58Well, he wasn't as, uh, vanilla with this next one.

03:01Because I think that sometimes the Edmonton media, uh, I mean, they're probably painful

03:06for him to deal with on a daily basis, asking the same questions over and over.

03:11It ain't New York.

03:12It ain't New York.

03:14Uh, but they, you know, that's all they have.

03:16So they just hound them all day long.

03:18Here's McDavid being asked about the Oilers defense again for like the 900th time.

03:24Meanwhile, they've made deep runs the last two years in the playoffs and they're halfway

03:27to a cup again this year.

03:28There's been a natural progression over the last couple of years.

03:32Have you seen that the way that you guys defend and feel more comfortable defending

03:36as a group?

03:39I mean, how many times are we going to answer this question really?

03:42Like, honestly, uh, that's frustrating that you keep, that we keep talking about this.

03:47We can defend.

03:48We can, um, you know, we've showed that time and time again, you know, come into a, a tough

03:54building, um, and when a one nothing game, when it matters most, um, we can play that

04:01way.

04:02We can score goals.

04:03We can, whatever it takes, we can win games.

04:06Um, it's so obvious.

04:08I mean, like, it's so painfully obvious that they can't defend as they keep going to the

04:14Western conference finals and the Stanley cup final.

04:17Like, honestly, dude, like sharpen up your question skills.

04:22Like, you think you could seriously win like this?

04:26Yeah, we just did one.

04:28Nothing.

04:28Have a sandwich.

04:29You're a loser.

04:31What kind of loser ass question was that?

04:33It really was.

04:34It was like, you're the loser of the night.

04:36Go have a drink and a sandwich.

04:38Honestly, you need it.

04:40Did you see him look at him?

04:41He's like, are we, are we going to do this?

04:43Are we really going to do this one?

04:44One nothing on the road to win a series.

04:46Are we really going to do this?

04:48I mean, honestly, like at some point, it's just, you're a, you're a gigantic guy.

04:52Mail Organ of the Month Club.

04:53Carver High, get out another locker, get him a key, get him a parking spot, get him a free meal.

05:00We got to put him in there at the Mail Organ of the Month Club.

05:03The reporter in the locker room last night in Las Vegas asking Connor McDavid stupid questions.
