00:17one back with cory perry but then the panthers took control and never looked back in the second
00:23period sam reinhardt uh reinhardt and bennett both getting it done for the panthers on panthers
00:29radio klingberg far corner bumped down by barco a battle for a loose puck panthers have a reinhardt
00:35a shot he scores out of the far circle off the iron and in sam reinhardt gets the panthers up by a pair
00:41once again exactly three minutes in the period number two three one panthers sam reinhardt and

00:54hands it on bennett in bennett scores top shelf and the panthers take a 4-1 lead with 12 34 to go
01:04here in the second what a shift for playoff sam the panthers lead by a trio so bennett came in and
01:13and digged him right then went left and went upstairs and you know shoveled it up top uh great move and he
01:19had skinner dead to rights and at that point it was game over i mean it was game over because they're
01:26the champs they're not chumps they don't blow you know three goal leads uh when it was two to one
01:33edmonton had a shot but when it was three one right after that it was like a minute or two after that
01:39they made it three one and then they get the four one and then it sat at five one forever i didn't you
01:45know i was like all i cared about was the over uh at that point because i knew they were going to win
01:50and cover the 135 so i needed both and i i uh got it on the rodriguez right it didn't he have the last
01:58goal i think yes yes he did uh power play goal for him of course the entire game was pretty much
02:03uh somebody yeah being on the power play that's because uh the panthers had all into all in total
02:1011 power play opportunities in the game they were three for 11 with the extra man the oilers had six
02:18uh they were one for six with the extra man but it all added up to uh 140 combined penalty minutes
02:27that is the fourth fourth most in stanley cup final history and the most in any stanley cup final game
02:34since 88 so it's been a long time since you saw a game uh with this much i gotta tell you like so a couple
02:42things came across uh my mind about this one was my father uh who turned me on to hockey and took me
02:51to a million hockey games and stanley cup finals and then i took him to stanley cup finals i think i went
02:57to a stanley cup final with mafia too um anyway uh he used to call it the national hokum league you
03:04remember when i used to tell you that he'd call it the national hokum league because last night
03:08that game turned into the national hokum league and uh meaning that i guarantee you gary bedman had
03:16agita i guarantee you he had heartburn watching the last you know 15 minutes of that game but i mean
03:24there were fights breaking out all over the ice i thought it was a really bad look for the nhl
03:32i love fights i like legitimate fights like okay two guys really have had enough of each other
03:39and they drop the gloves and brawl hold on to each other's jerseys jack a couple of rabbits
03:46and then they pull them apart but when you see 10 guys fighting at once and they're sprawled out all
03:56over the ice in the neutral zone and in one end and the other i think it's a bad look for the stanley
04:01cup finals you know it was a the first game was was erotic the second game was just magnificent and
04:08this game was kind of an abortion and then to end it with that look that scene it was like a it was
04:15like a bloodbath it was awful i think for batman i i guarantee he hated it
