00:00And on your Canadian team, and that, of course, the Edmonton Oilers,
00:04the guy that has delivered the game winner in overtime,
00:07in both of the two victories for the Oilers in this cup final,
00:10is your favorite German player in Leon Dreisaitl.
00:14And yet, Dreisaitl, now with his team tied at two games all in the Stanley Cup final,
00:20is still behind his teammate, Connor McDavid, to win the Conn Smythe Award.
00:25Now, this is an MVP hardware for the entirety of the postseason.
00:30McDavid has been great, filling up the point sheet.
00:33He has been facilitating on the ice beautifully so.
00:36But Dreisaitl now has four OT winners in this postseason.
00:40That's an NHL playoff record.
00:42And he's got both of the OT game winners for Edmonton here in the cup final.
00:47In what world is Leon Dreisaitl behind Connor McDavid,
00:51even by a couple of dimes in the Conn Smythe Trophy odds?
00:56Yeah, 1993 was the last time that an NHL team in Canada won the Stanley Cup.
01:01Now, if you're saying to yourself, well, who was that, you know, the catalyst there?
01:04I don't know who was the Conn Smythe, but probably was Patrick Waugh.
01:06He was absolutely sensational that season for the Canadians.
01:09And again, Patrick Waugh, a Canadian.
01:11So if we're saying after all these years, Canada's going to finally win a Stanley Cup,
01:15and it's going to be the German that leads them,
01:16they're saying, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:18It just goes to Connor McDavid because why even win the Stanley Cup
01:21if a young Canadian kid isn't able to bring the Stanley Cup back
01:24and be the best player on the team?
01:25Now, he is the best player over on the team.
01:27He's not the best player in the series by a wide margin.
01:29Like, what would the statistics be right now?
01:31Let's just say it's still two to two.
01:33McDavid had both overtime winners.
01:35Would he be minus seven?
01:36Like, it wouldn't matter who won the cup.
01:37It's just McDavid.
01:38He wins it no matter what.
01:39That's the crazy part about it.
01:41And yes, we understand assists are important,
01:43but you have two overtime winners in the Stanley Cup
01:47and you're playing great hockey.
01:48It's like, I don't know, man.
01:49Did you see that McDavid assist the other night?
01:51That was fantastic.
01:51Forget about those two goals.
01:52Kevin and I used to joke about it, you know, a couple years ago
01:54when it was, you know, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
01:56was having a great season for Toronto,
01:58but Choi Ohtani would strike out three times in one night,
02:01Guerrero would hit two home runs,
02:02and Ohtani would get the better pricing there on the MVP award.
02:05Nothing makes sense sometimes.
02:06It should be triceuttle.
02:08He's playing the best in the clutch moments for Edmonton,
02:10and he's still behind.
02:11Like, even if Ben, if it was, like, dry sidle plus 200
02:15and McDavid plus 240, all right, a little bit of respect there.
02:17But he's still behind him?
02:19That can't be right now.
02:20What, we're waiting on McDavid to score a hat trick next game?
02:22Like, ah, we told you he was going to be the best player.
