00:00So what did you think of Dreisaitl?

00:01I called the Dreisaitl winner last night.

00:04And over time, I've hit four money lines in a row,

00:08four totals in a row in the Stanley Cup Finals.

00:12Scotty, tell you what, you're a pro for a reason, buddy.

00:14What a transition right there.

00:16I, for one, am in the same boat.

00:18I was riding the Oilers' money line last night.

00:20In fact, I doubled down plus 540 down 3-1 in that game.

00:25And they made me so proud and so happy.

00:27And it's Leon Dreisaitl.

00:28You know, it's interesting to me,

00:30if Edmonton goes on to win the Stanley Cup,

00:33I know it's hard to vote against Connor McDavid

00:35winning the Consumite Trophy.

00:36But you can make a serious case, serious, serious case,

00:39in my opinion, for Leon Dreisaitl.

00:41Because it seems like every time this team needs a big goal

00:45or a game-winning goal, it comes from Leon Dreisaitl.

00:48But to tell you what, bud, it's been an awesome,

00:50awesome Stanley Cup final thus far.

00:52For the NHL, you've got to be happy.

00:54The first four games, three of which have gone OT.

00:56You even got Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey in attendance.

00:59Like, you've got to be ecstatic about the way things have gone

01:02the first four games.

01:03I mean, it's just exotic.

01:05It's so great.

01:06It's fantastic.

01:07Game one, they're getting their ass beat.

01:09They win in overtime on a Dreisaitl.

01:11He had the first goal and the last goal in the game.

01:14He had the overtime winner last night.

01:16Game two was overtime.

01:17Marchion with the shorty and the overtime winner.

01:21That was insane.

01:22Game three was a blowout.

01:23Now we'll go to Edmonton.

01:26What do you think happens from here?

01:27I've been on the Oilers all season from day one to win the Stanley Cup,

01:32documented on SportsGrid.

01:34I've been riding.

01:35I said there is no way that McDavid and Dreisaitl aren't getting their names

01:40on that cup.

01:42One word, destiny.

01:44And you speak like a true Pittsburgh Penguins fan,

01:46because, Scotty, you lived this in the late, what, 2009, 2008 era,

01:50where Sidney Crosby loses year one, goes back, and wins Lord Stanley.

01:55And I envision the same thing as you.

01:58They were my preseason pick.

01:59They were my pre-playoff pick.

02:01I stuck with them, even though they were a dog's breakfast going into the

02:04Stanley Cup playoffs.

02:06Quentin Byfield, for me, deserves the Consmite trophy,

02:09because he didn't clear the zone.

02:10Maybe they don't even move on.

02:12I think that the word I would use with Edmonton is destiny.

02:15It just seems like every time they need a big moment, they get it.

02:19Imagine a scenario where Cal Pickard's going to be the guy to lead the Edmonton

02:23Oilers and Conor McDavid to a Stanley Cup.

02:26But you're riding this guy now, and I'm with you.

02:28I believe in the Edmonton Oilers.

02:29In fact, I have four or five futures tickets on them to win the Stanley Cup.

02:33I just think, like, it's their time, Scotty.

02:36I mean, I just think they're special.

02:39And I think that last year, when they came back from 3-0 and got to that seventh game

02:44and to lose 2-1 in a heartbreaker in Sunrise, because it gets real tight,

02:49those sticks, in a seventh game.

02:50I think game six and game seven in this series will be the same thing.

02:54Tight grabbing sticks, stress, pressure, a lot of standing.

02:59You know, I can't sit down when I watch the games.

03:01I got to be standing up and cussing.

03:03I think it's going to get to that point.

03:06What do you think happens tomorrow night?

03:07Carver High mentioned he thinks that with a short rest, only to one day travel

03:13and got to play on Saturday at Rodgers, that he believes the under hits there.

03:17I think it's still game six and seven for me, for the unders.

03:21But I think the Oilers have to win Saturday night in BC or in for Alberta.

03:27I think they have to get it done at Rodgers.

03:30I think they will.

03:31To your point, I have to play the under in game five, six, and seven.

03:35And the trends and data have told us that for a lifetime, almost that if you're going

03:39to bet something over under, it's got to be the under.

03:42I think to your point, the momentum is riding high with the Edmonton Oilers.

03:46I think the time change will impact Florida a bit more than it'll impact the Oilers who

03:50are used to it going from east to Alberta time, two hour difference.

03:54And, you know, the altitude's a bit there.

03:56So I'm trending towards picking the Oilers in that game.

04:00And this is the way I saw it playing out to begin with.

04:02I think they go up 3-2.

04:04I think the Panthers tie things up on home ice.

04:06And a week from now, we're talking about game seven in Edmonton.
