00:00We have got Game 1 tonight on the Western side.

00:03Oilers and the Stars in Dallas.

00:06We'll start with Peter DeBoer on facing the Oilers again.

00:09Remember, they played in the West Final last year.

00:11Well, listen, you know, when you dive into a team,

00:14obviously you go to, you know, the biggest sample size you have

00:18is regular season, analytics, game tape.

00:21You know, I think the challenging part is they're a totally different team, right?

00:25You drop Evander Kane and Frederick into the lineup,

00:28slot everybody down, you know.

00:32You become a different team.

00:34So, you know, we're working off, you know,

00:39more of the playoff version of what they are,

00:43and, you know, that's a pretty impressive team.

00:45I mean, you can see what they've done.

00:47Why are they 8-1 or something like that?

00:49And, you know, they've tilted the ice.

00:51They get in-depth scoring.

00:55Really going to be a really tough test for us.

00:58Yeah, listen, I think Dallas is a really loaded team full of players

01:04that can put it in the net and that are really good.

01:07I think they're well coached.

01:09I think they're solid.

01:10I think they're physical.

01:11I think they can score.

01:13I think they have a great power play.

01:15And the Oilers are still better.

01:17The Oilers are still better.

01:19That's for sure.

01:20They've been that so far.

01:22Let's slide in one more.

01:23I can't do McDavid.

01:25He's too boring.

01:25Here's Leon Dreisaitl.

01:27Let's do Dreisaitl because we heard the Toronto people all cry about how much

01:32pressure is on them.

01:33Here's Dreisaitl talking about it's pressure for all Canadian teams.

01:37Yeah, of course.

01:38I mean, the pressure is higher here, of course, just through media, fans,

01:42you know, the expectations.

01:43That's just the way it is.

01:45It's a hockey country.

01:46It starts with hockey and it ends with hockey in this country.

01:48And I don't know if teams feel that they get under pressure with that.

01:55I'm not the right person to answer that.

01:57But, you know, we can handle it.

02:00And we're excited to, you know, get back to playing and put our best foot forward.

02:07You know how they handle pressure anywhere, don't you?

02:11With paychecks.

02:12You know, how much money do you make?

02:16Like, I don't want to hear about Canadian pressure.

02:18That's, like, hilarious to me.

02:21Like, Canadian pressure.

02:21What is that?

02:22Is that like, is that like Game Face?

02:25Yeah.

02:25What is Canadian pressure?

02:27Seriously.

02:28I don't even know what that is.

02:29Is that like that new liberal prime minister putting pressure on Trump?

02:34Is that what that is?

02:34I don't know what it is.

02:36I don't know what it is.

02:36All I know is they're awesome and they just keep killing everybody.

02:42That's it.

02:43They're there.

02:44They are unbelievable.

02:46They're assassins.

02:47I don't care if they played in Russia.

02:50I mean, when I watch that team, I really, there's two teams that I think are dangerous

02:54in the world of hockey.

02:56The Canadian national team and the Oilers.

03:00That's it.

03:02And I'll give you the Panthers.

03:04I'll give you the Panthers, too.

03:05That's it.

03:08Yeah.

03:08And look, they haven't even honestly, to be fair, they've won two rounds.

03:14And I don't think that McDavid and Dreisaitl have really.

03:17I don't either.

03:18Have really done much.

03:19Like, obviously, they've been involved.

03:21But, like, they have gotten it from so many other guys that they haven't.

03:28Like, McDavid hasn't had, like, some, like, hat trick, five-point game.

03:31He's done nothing.

03:32They haven't needed it.

03:35Here we go.

03:36Minus 135 for Dallas.

03:37Plus $1.15 for Edmonton.

03:40Six and a half is the total.

03:42I saw this note just now.

03:43The Stars have lost seven straight Game 1s at home in a playoff series.

03:49Six of those have been by one goal, including four overtime losses.

03:53So, Dallas Game 1s at home haven't been good.

03:56And, meanwhile, they're a big favorite.

03:58I don't care what you say.

03:59That number, minus 128, is insane.

04:02Give me the Oilers, plus a buck six.

04:04Enough said.

04:06I'll go after the trend.

04:08Dallas breaks the streak.

04:10Wins Game 1 at home tonight.

04:11I got to pick Dallas.

04:12If I need to win the series, I got to have them win Game 1 here at home tonight.

04:17I have a better chance of winning tonight.
