00:00We'll begin with Matthew Kachuk. Of course, they played a year ago.
00:04He expected to see the Oilers again at the end of the road.
00:07No, I believed that it was going to be us two again.
00:09I think we're the two best teams in the league.
00:11If everything would go right, it would probably be us two again in the finals.
00:15I mean, I have that confidence in our team,
00:18and they were the best team that we played last year in the playoffs.
00:21So I stand by that, and I believed that at the time, and here we are again.
00:26Yeah, I actually couldn't agree with him more.
00:30Like, I truly, like, you know, you got my back here.
00:33I've been on the Oilers to go back to the Stanley Cup final since day one.
00:38This guy, I'm telling you, this guy McDavid, I hate to say it because, like,
00:44I'm not, like, I think he's incredible.
00:47I'm not an Oiler fan.
00:49I'm not an Edmonton fan, but I like betting on them.
00:53I love this team.
00:54I think they're the best team in the league.
00:56I think they're the scariest team in the league.
00:59I actually think they're better now than they were when they lost to them in seven,
01:03and I kept telling you they lost 2-1 in game seven.
01:07Floor is lucky they got past them after blowing a 3-0 lead,
01:10and then they got them to a seventh game and lost 2-1.
01:13I mean, I think it is written in stone.
01:15It is their time.
01:16It is McDavid's world.
01:18It is McDavid's time.
01:20It is McDavid's turn to hoist the Stanley Cup.
01:23I think the Panthers have had to battle with Toronto.
01:27I think it took a piece out of them.
01:29I thought that their series with Carolina was easy.
01:31Now they're going to hit a wall because they're going to play this team that is a nightmare.
01:37They are a nightmare.
01:38Let's quickly slide in.
01:39Leon Dreisaitl as well, talking about the rematch with Florida.
01:43Yeah, of course.
01:43That's the goal, to get to this point and give yourself a chance and give yourself a chance to be one of the last two teams,
01:49and we've done that job, but obviously there's one more hill to climb, and it's going to be the hardest one.
01:56We know that, but I think we're ready for it.
01:58We'll put in the work, and, yeah, just excited to get going.
02:01Excited to get going.
02:03How could you not be?
02:05Very excited.
02:05Edmonton's favored in game one on Wednesday night, minus $1.30, Panthers plus $1.10, with the six and a half total.
02:14You know, the total, I think, might be a little big, and I know we think Panthers, Oilers, lots of goals, Panthers, lots.
02:20I feel like that game one could be a little tight with those two.
02:24I could be an under for me on Wednesday night, Scotty.
02:27Yeah, and I'll tell you one thing.
02:29I don't think the Edmonton Oilers can afford to lose this game.
02:32I've got to be honest with you.
02:33Like, you know, they were down 3-0 to this team last year, and remember, the games one and two were in Sunrise, and so was games, you know, five and seven.
02:43So, I'll tell you this much.
02:45The Oilers won game five, won game six, lost game seven, lost games one and two.
02:51I don't believe they can afford to lose game one right out of the gates against a team that has haunted them.
02:58They've got to beat them.
02:59They've got to win game one.
03:01I think it's crucial the same way the Knicks never recovered from losing that game one against the Pacers.
03:07I'm telling you, you lose game one, you got problems right from the jump.
03:11I like Edmonton to get it done.
03:13I think they know the importance of it, the significance of it.
03:16So, go out and get it done.
03:18Let's go.
