00:00unbelievable that once again they failed to get it done on their home ice in a big situation

00:08people don't you know people talk about the Toronto Maple Leafs a lot like failing on home ice and not

00:13winning these big games on home ice the Oilers have been similar people just don't talk about

00:18it as much it's not as glaring because the Oilers go a little further uh in the playoffs but we've

00:22seen this in the past Scott listen I think I think arguably it's easier to play on the road

00:27as crazy as it sounds for whatever reason hockey teams get caught up in the hype they're just not

00:33as disciplined or not as locked in we got to give credit to Florida that will rip Edmonton because

00:38that was a pathetic performance I think now guys you go back to Skinner here they should have started

00:43Skinner in the last game just because you know starting pitcher gets you know taken out of a

00:47game doesn't mean you don't start him again right Pickard came in he played well in relief they

00:51should have known you know that they should have known we got to go back to Skinner on this one

00:55I would assume they're going back to Skinner here tomorrow Scott I'm not in a full-out panic

01:00obviously it is a literal must win for the Edmonton Oilers I'm almost thinking Scott remember we called

01:05it with the Toronto Maple Leafs remember when they were down I said watch Scott the Leafs will come

01:09back they're going to win game six in Florida and then they'll they'll get drilled on home ice and

01:14they'll let their fans down very New York Nick like you know what I'm saying like yeah the failure is

01:19coming at some point and now Edmonton is walking into this I get the feeling Edmonton are going to

01:25send this seven and it wouldn't surprise me if they actually lost in game seven Scott but let's tip our

01:30cop to the Panthers beating the Leafs in the big game five that they did they smoked them they beat

01:35them in the game seven they smoked them now you go on the road a big game five similar situation

01:39Edmonton can take control of the Stanley Cup Florida smokes them I told you I told you and everybody that

01:45would listen before they're like you know Michael Myers man like you've got to be way ahead of them

01:51like like they've got you right right now I mean come on Florida are gonna probably win one of the

01:56next two games right as much as I don't want it to happen it seems like it's inevitable but I'm gonna

02:01go down with the ship tomorrow with the Oilers Scott I think they show up on the road well I'm gonna go

02:06down with a ship as well because you and I've been on them forever and I can't get out of my tickets I

02:13can't get out of the mess that I'm in uh you know I'm I'm flat out in misery uh right now because I

02:20gotta be honest well they've won six of their last seven elimination games the Oilers are six and one

02:26in elimination games the in the last two years and the game that they lost was game seven at uh Florida

02:33so um you know they lost the cup two to one right I mean that was an elimination game that that

02:39eliminated them all I know is they win every other game I I gotta be honest like so I'm on the Oilers

02:45I'm not gonna change but I think they're going down tomorrow I think that this team has proven now

02:50they've they've had the lead over 200 minutes they uh the Oilers have led like 30 minutes of the whole

02:57thing uh I twice they've kicked their ass six to one five you know I mean they have been and and

03:05letting Marchand twice have two goals a shorty and a game winner in double overtime and then two more

03:12on Saturday I mean it's just over I think they're dead right I think Knobloch the the head coach of

03:21the Edmonton Oilers is overthinking things and we've seen this with his goaltending moves we saw it when he

03:27challenged the goal earlier in the series and it costs like it led to a power play after that suddenly

03:32they were losing two one what it could have just been oh one one and he keeps on changing his lines

03:38and I mean come on guys where there's two games left in the season you've you've played over 100 games

03:44right and it you know I get it all their teammates and they can adjust but they're not adjusting

03:49they're not like he keeps on moving everybody around all the time and it's not helping it's not

03:56helping like players are talking about it like they're just a little bit out of sync because they're not

04:01used to playing with each other and I think Knobloch's just got to live and die with his freaking lines

04:06stop tweaking they'll probably fire him after they lose like they do every other coach in sports now
