00:00Florida entered last night, minus 1200 outright to win its first Stanley Cup in franchise history.

00:10Now it's only minus 360. We have seen a team come back from an 0-3 deficit in the Stanley Cup postseason

00:18four different times, unlike the NBA, even once in the Stanley Cup final, albeit way back in 1942.

00:27So you're saying there's a chance, but is there really?

00:32Yes. For me, it's always been Panthers and Six because I never wanted to disrespect Edmonton.

00:38Obviously, you know, Connor McDavid deserves what he's getting right now or what he's aiming towards.

00:43And they are a strong team. They're one of the better teams when it comes to scoring.

00:48But it's the Panthers are still the most complete team, in my opinion.

00:53They kind of fell off that solid 60 minutes of hockey when they can at least pick up a goal in the first 40 minutes.

00:59And they're typically in control. They've been eliminated out of that first period in these last two games.

01:04The Oilers have found chances to execute and come out hot.

01:07Second period has always been the highest scoring period for the Edmonton Oilers this season and postseason.

01:13So maybe something to look at at those second period overs.

01:16Now that things are kind of heating up and there's a chance for the Oilers, but I've had the Panthers and Six.

01:21Hrabowski needs to get back on top of it. The Oilers have created more traffic in front of him.

01:26So it seems like he got a little too content. He's playing a little too deep in his net.

01:30Minor adjustments that the Panthers can make to get back on track.

01:33So after seeing that push last night, you know that it's there.

01:36And here's a scary thing. Matthew Kachuk looked like Matthew Kludchuk all over again last night.

01:42The diving save last minute for the empty netter, his persistence, his push, his drive, his ability to get on the scoreboard.

01:49When Matthew Kachuk starts getting caught in something, that's a scary thing to look out for.

01:53And if they open up game six with the Kachuk, Rodriguez and Bennett line,

01:56I think we're in for a big battle that can swing in favor of Panthers and Six.
