00:00It's up in Edmonton the Oilers have home ice advantage and that money line number at this

00:05moment minus 125 the updated price on the FanDuel Sportsbook six and a half is the total for game

00:13number one how does the 2025 Stanley Cup final and the rematch between the Panthers and the

00:19Oilers begin tonight in Edmonton you know the book's giving a lot of respect here to the Edmonton

00:24Oilers as the home favorite but the Florida Panthers have been fantastic out there on the

00:30road this season they're gonna have to overcome um Edmonton will have to overcome losing this first

00:36game they cannot let the series start the way it did in that last game and I do think because of

00:40that Edmonton knows they have to come out so strong in this one they have to get through at Skinner

00:45that protection because we know Skinner has always been the talk of the Edmonton Oilers as the weakness

00:51out there now Edmonton really does have a chip on their shoulder about their defense and they've

00:56been committed to playing strong defensive hockey I do think Edmonton here in game one is gonna play

01:03that defensive hockey but we're gonna see the Florida Panthers really push them we normally see these game

01:07ones of a series that testing out part in that first period and then once those goals start these two

01:14teams will answer back and forth I am expecting the Edmonton Oilers to have a night tonight they want to

01:19get off to that hot start and I expect Conor McDavid to lead this team tonight to victory I'm gonna take

01:25the Edmonton Oilers team total over three and a half I'm expecting them to get four goals on Bovroski

01:31now we know Bovroski has been absolutely elite in the playoffs but he did have a couple of games where

01:37he allowed that puck to find the back of his net and I look at the forward units and the depth here of

01:42the Edmonton Oilers they have to win this game tonight for their confidence and I think they do so by getting

01:48four goals now it's probably gonna be a sweat we're probably gonna have to count on that empty netter

01:52so if you don't want to take the over three and a half I'm gonna look for them also to have a hot first period

01:58the puck line in the first period for the Edmonton Oilers laying a half a goal coming in at plus 166 you guys
