00:00Now, I have said to you on a million occasions, I like the Oilers to go to the cup final again

00:05and win the cup, and I just, for some reason, like, after last night, what I saw, the Kings

00:12can't beat them.

00:14Well, that's the feeling right now amongst a lot in the Los Angeles media.

00:19L.A. King fans want to fire the coach.

00:22Like, right now, the series isn't over yet.

00:25But the media challenged him after, are you going to do anything different going into

00:31third periods, moving forward in this series?

00:33And he's like, what do you mean by that?

00:35Like, he really, they were like, well, you know, you're blowing leads.

00:38He's like, next question.

00:40And they did just miss an empty netter.

00:42That's the thing, man, with these NHL players, bro.

00:45Like, when you get that empty netter, you got to bury it.

00:48And I'm sure we'll talk about Washington.

00:50Washington are good at burying empty net goals, and they did.

00:52They just killed them.

00:53Yeah, and then Martin St. Louis pulled the Canadiens goaltender way too early.

00:57Way too early.

00:58But as far as the Kings and the Oilers are concerned, we got a series now.

01:02I think this thing is going to reset, Scott.

01:05I think home ice advantage is going to hold true in this series.

01:09I think I told you that last week.

01:10I'm expecting this.

01:11I picked the Kings in seven before the series started.

01:15And it's like plus 700 type thing, too.

01:18So it pays really well.

01:20So, you know, it's falling right in line.

01:21Like, the Kings don't lose at home, right?

01:24The Kings are a dominant home team.

01:26I'm expecting the Kings to hold serve in the next game.

01:30And then I think the Oilers probably win game six, Scott.

01:32And then we're going to seven.

01:34I think this is, you know, we've got the best of two or three here.

01:36I think we're going seven.

01:38You don't think that there's something to the fact that they blow all these leads

01:43against the Edmonton Oilers?

01:44It's like the Oilers can be down four goals, and they come back like it's nothing.

01:48Yeah, but the Oilers also give up a bunch of goals.

01:51Like, so, like, that's the thing.

01:54You know, it's like, you know, with the Oilers, you're like, damn, if you guys didn't spot

01:56teams like a three and four goal lead every night, you guys would be really good.

02:00But, you know, the Oilers have a lot of flaws as well.

02:03You know, we played four games.

02:04I expected this series to go seven.

02:06It's 2-2.

02:07There's going to be ups.

02:08There's going to be downs.

02:09There's going to be heartbreaks.

02:10And here we are right now.

02:11You know, the playoffs, Scott, a lot of it is about puck luck and stuff, but let's be

02:18real.

02:18A lot of it is mental toughness and resiliency.

02:22And we're going to find out just how tough the LA Kings are, because this will be terrible

02:26for them if they lose this series.

02:29And they had a chance to go up before.

02:32Two years ago, Scott, they had a chance to go up 3-1 on Edmonton.

02:37Similar situation.

02:39They ended up losing a game, and they ended up losing a series.

02:41So, definitely, they've been down this road before.

02:43But I don't think the sky has fallen yet on the Kings.

02:47God, I felt like it was.

02:49When I watched that game last night, I'm like, you have got to be kidding me.

02:52I was sitting on top of money, and then they blew that.

02:55It was embarrassing.

02:56It was so disgusting.

02:57It made me sick to my stomach.
