00:00So, what are the Oilers, 7-1 in that building in the playoffs?
00:04Is that about right?
00:06I think they're 9-1.
00:07Yeah, they've lost one game in the playoffs here.
00:10And that was with .4 seconds left in the game.
00:13Remember that miracle shot in the Dallas series, I think, or in the Vegas series?
00:17Yeah, they're just feeling right now.
00:19And here's the difference, Scotty.
00:20Last year, they were happy to – this year, they expect to win.
00:24That's the organization, the team, and the fans.
00:26The expectation is much higher, and they've been playing great.
00:31You can't really point and say, what's the weakness for this team right now?
00:34If they get behind in games, they'll put Conor and Leon on the same line.
00:37You have to defend two all-world guys.
00:39That's really difficult.
00:40This team is clicking on all cylinders right now as we get to game two.
00:44So, they're 4-0 in overtimes in the playoffs this year.
00:50It's just unbelievable.
00:52And I got to tell you, like, this guy, McDavid, is on another planet, right?
00:57I thought his pass to Dreisaitl over to Stikebarkov was brilliant.
01:02I thought his pass on the equalizer was brilliant.
01:07I just think he's just from another planet.
01:11He is.
01:11And if they win, he's going to win the consummate back-to-back seasons.
01:14Now, if they lose, somebody in Florida, either Bobrovsky or Sam Bennett,
01:18who's been 12 goals.
01:19I never expected 12 goals in a playoff from Sam Bennett, but Conor's on another level.
01:23Look, here's the thing.
01:24I voted for Leon Dreisaitl for the MVP this year.
01:27He's probably going to win it, maybe Kucherov.
01:29The best player in the game is Conor McDavid.
01:32And for what you just said, those two plays, you see why he is.
01:35Some nights, the vision, the speed, how he can execute.
01:38He executes stuff at high speed, a speed I've never seen before.
01:42So, this is a unique player.
01:43And if you're a casual fan and don't watch the NHL, watch tonight.
01:46This guy's incredible.
01:47So, Dreisaitl talks about how easy it is to do what he does because of Conor.
01:55He's like, this guy makes my life so easy.
01:57I thought his shots in the low slot, both of them between the circles,
02:01were relatively just normal.
02:04You know, bang, bang plays for him.
02:07He's a pro sniper.
02:10And you're going to give him tape jobs like that?
02:12I mean, this guy's lethal.
02:16Yeah.
02:17And they call him the burger flipper because if you look at his stick,
02:19he's got that really long bottom of his stick.
02:23Usually, it's a couple inches.
02:24This guy, when he gets the puck on his stick, Scotty,
02:27and it's usually a delivery from Conor McDavid on the power play, you're done.
02:30You know, they're already celebrating.
02:31You're going back to the center for a face-off.
02:33It's almost unstoppable.
02:36And you can't take a penalty in overtime.
02:38You know, Scotty, I was here, obviously, for game one.
02:41When that puck went over the glass, when those sticks shot it over the glass,
02:44I said to my guys from Sirius X, I'm going to go, the game's over.
02:48It's over.
02:48And it was.
02:49You can't take penalties in regulation.
02:51You certainly can't do it in overtime.
02:52And you mentioned Conor to Leon.
02:53It's almost unstoppable at this point.
02:55So, you know, you and I have been talking about hockey for a long time.
03:00I've been on this team since day one, the start of the season,
03:03that they would go back and win the Stanley Cup after they climbed back from 3-0
03:07and lost 2-1 in a game seven on a road.
03:10We're going to have easily been them 2-1.
03:12I've been on them nonstop.
03:14But tonight, I'm going to take the risk.
03:16I bet I'm at 1-10, the Panthers, to answer and make this thing
03:20an incredible seven-game series.
03:23Like, again, an incredible series.
03:26I don't want to see 3-0 leads.
03:28I don't want to see 3-3.
03:30And then I want to see ping pong, like Carver High said, back and forth,
03:34a series that goes, all right, you beat us, we beat you.
03:37We'll see you for game three in Sunrise.
03:41I actually, I'm on the Oilers to win the Cup.
03:44Always have been.
03:45But I think tonight the Panthers respond because they had a 3-1 lead.
03:49I never see them blow leads like that.
03:51And I think if they play like they did the other night, they win.
03:55You can't get comfortable against the Oilers.
03:57You've got to keep pressing the issue.
03:59You can't hang back, Scotty.
04:00I agree with you.
04:01And people, when you look at last year, you say, okay, seven-game series,
04:04a lot of drama.
04:05There wasn't a lot of drama.
04:06We didn't get drama until game six.
04:07When Oilers did win game six and went back to Florida for game seven,
04:10we got drama.
04:10And you're right.
04:11I want back and forth, too.
04:13And there's not much that separates these teams.
04:15So much as I want to compliment the Oilers and criticize the Panthers for game one,
04:18it was a 4-3 overtime game.
04:20There isn't much separating.
04:21Marshawn had a great game.
04:23He got a power play goal.
04:25Can they win here?
04:26Yeah.
04:26They won last year here.
04:27They won a game here.
04:28So, yeah, I want it.
04:29I think everybody wants it.
04:31And, again, there's not much separating these teams.
04:33So could we see seven drama-filled games?
04:35I think we still can.
