00:50good about it after two games but they've just flicked a switch and they're almost unbeatable

00:55right now now listen we know the florida panthers are a great team but it's you know that the oilers

01:02the oilers are a better team they and look at look at this way guys last year the florida panthers had

01:08home ice advantage last year the edmonton oilers spotted them a 3-0 series lead won three games

01:17and then nearly pulled it off in in game seven this year they have a home ice advantage

01:22and you know i can't guarantee anything in this world scott but they're not gonna spot them three

01:44they know it's going to be brought up guys last year we lost the first game we lost second we lost third

01:49game we need to be up three nothing not down three nothing every shift they're just so so dialed in

01:57right now skinner's playing great hockey between the pipes uh for them i'm not a fan of the injuries

02:03with carter brown out zach hyman out but then uh jeff skinner steps up and in last night right like

02:08he hasn't played in two months like two months they didn't want to play him he's old it's like all

02:15right and and scott edmonton media and a lot of hockey media people that are in the know were like

02:22wow skinner there's other guys like skinner hasn't played he can't play when he played he's a liability

02:29dude scores a goal like on his first shift basically second shift hey skinner right that that's a sign

02:36of a team just plug them in let's go keep it keep it rolling cory perry as well guys cory perry's

02:41like lost four of the last five stanley cups which is pretty wild like he was on tampa he's been in

02:48five straight cups dude he's been there was one he didn't go to we can go over the list so it's off

02:55top of my head it's got he was on tampa when they lost he was on montreal when they lost he was on

03:06cup finals four the last five years and lost but he won it he won it with anaheim right early in his

03:11career so it's a perfect bookend at 40 now scott on the way out this guy's playing like he's 24 he

03:17doesn't look for it so but it's just sort of a bookend like he's due connor mcdavid's due we've

03:23been saying it there's certain players where it's like he's gonna win a championship in his career so

03:27you might as well just bet on it every year connor mcdavid's sort of one of these guys he's freaking

03:32close i don't think he gets denied this time i'm fired up it's gonna be an awesome series but i think

03:37the edmonton oilers get it done this time
