00:00I have never seen like on TV anything like their quickness to the puck.
00:08The other teams power play with a man advantage can't even set up at the point or on the wing
00:15at all without a guy so far up their keyster.
00:19It's not even funny.
00:20They are all over the puck.
00:23It is a thing of beauty.
00:24If you play that well on PK, you can win the Stanley Cup just even with that.
00:29There was something I was very impressed with about the Oilers when I saw them up close
00:33as well and I told people about that, said, you know, they do the little things a lot
00:38better than people talk about.
00:40Like they're not, they're not some, they're not the least, bro.
00:43They're not like, oh God, like we are like Matthews better get a hat trick.
00:47No, like they've got four lines.
00:50They're physical.
00:51They're big.
00:52The Oilers have a couple of pretty big dudes.
00:54They got mean streaks in them.
00:56The Oiler players have failed before the playoffs.
00:58They're starting to understand we've, you've got to be the bigger jerk than the other player.
01:02That's the way it works in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
01:04If not, you're going to get pushed out of the way.
01:07That's the way that works.
01:08And then they'll shake your hand after and tell you great series, but you got to do the
01:12dirty things.
01:13And just the, it doesn't mean like stupid things, but there's an edge that you need
01:18to play with.
01:19The Oilers have that edge.
01:20They play on the edge of dirtiness.
01:23They're aggressive.
01:24Their defense is like really impressive, Scott, because they can score.
01:27But as you stated, they're doing a great job on a penalty kill.
01:30It is their team speed as well.
01:32They close gaps so fast.
01:35Like like you said, you can't set up because they get to the point right away.
01:39They're super, super fast team.
01:41Still a lot of hockey left in this series, but the Oilers, maybe this is the year that
01:45they get.
01:46They finally get there.
01:47And I think if Conor McDavid does get to the cup, they're going to break through and win.
01:50I think if they win this series, the Oilers are winning the cup.
01:53Yeah, I wouldn't argue with that.
01:55And I got to tell you that PK at Ayers is something else.
01:58It's the best left standing of these teams.
