  Speaker 1: The raiding champs led this game three to one. They
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: were thirty one seconds away from heading to a second overtime.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: But then at the lay of game penalty and it's
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Nick David, it's a dry sido, and it's play Obama.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Game one goes to the Oilers comeback victor. The Moss
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Pitch celebrates. Edmonton takes it down in ot They takes
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Game one of the Stanley Cup Final, and as Penny
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: had set before, seventy seven percent of the time, the
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: team that wins Game one goes on to win the final.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: We get a great grematch here out a fantastic opening game,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: we wont to the NHL on Cant post game presented
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: by Vandon Pharmaceuticals back here, Lee m Henrik Lungoots Anson, Carter,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Paul Vizanettes, Wayne Gretzky. Listen, you can tell a lot
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: just about the flow of the game. It felt like
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: it was trending in an Edmonton's direction, But don't you
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: think that was more maybe what we didn't see from
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Florida before what we did see from Edmonton.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I was really surprised, and we talked about it, watching
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: the third period and watching the overtime. I've never seen
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Florida ice to puck so many times and give the
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: puck back to Edmonton, whether it be face offs in
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: their own zone or Edmonton's setting up and coming back
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: five against their five. I've never seen Florida do that. Now,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: maybe they're a little bit tired. They traveled yesterday game
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: one in the Finals.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I've just there.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I've been to a lot of Florida Panther games, and
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: that was the first time I could see that, and
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: it happened continuously throughout the hockey game.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: That's the most I've definitely seen him. And even the
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: penalty was he was trying to ice the puck. Yeah,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: and typically we've seen the pump punt the puck a
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: lot these playoffs.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: That's one of their go tos.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Lgate pressure.
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: But definitely the Icings were adding up, adding up, They
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: kept rolling over shipped after shift and really all the momentum.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: In the third period in overtime at Edmonton's favorite boys.
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I felt like watching La Kings versus Edmonson Norlers
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: all over again. And Liam, once the Edmonson Ole's going
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: to the power play, I looked at you and I said,
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: it's game over. I mean, Conor mc david was flying.
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: I saw was flying. Edmonton had all the pressure badly
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: out shooting the Florida Panthers, and that lethal powerfulay.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Went to work and got it done for the other's hands.
• 2:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah, for me, it felt like a wrestling match, though
• 2:10
  Speaker 7: with Edmonton starting off so well in the first Florida
• 2:13
  Speaker 7: really strong sack in and then Edmonton back.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: In the third.
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: But start of overtime, I have to say if Florida
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: looked really sharp. They had more shots in the first
• 2:23
  Speaker 7: few minutes in overtime than they had in the third period.
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: But then again we talked about after three periods how
• 2:29
  Speaker 7: both teams were able to adjust, and then Edmonton got
• 2:33
  Speaker 7: going and you could see how again the eyes started
• 2:36
  Speaker 7: to tilt a little bit in their favor. But what
• 2:38
  Speaker 7: an incredible first game. It was so entertaining, and I
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: love when you see teams.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Go for it.
• 2:45
  Speaker 7: You know, it's a lot of nerves, there's a lot
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: of steak, but they went't after.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: It well right off the bat. Right we're looking at
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the goalies to start this, We're wondering if they're gonna
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: be the X factors and what minute six seconds into
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: this we get a goal. It's dry title An based
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: a couple of spectacularly.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Saying I really liked this from Edmondson.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: Early on they went north, Driysidal ended up going shoulder
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: to shoulder with Porsling.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Winning that puck battle down low.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: They go to the weak side of alleviate pressure, just
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: get pucks toward Bob and we talked to more physical
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: play from Florida all a playoffs long boys. I really
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: thought that Edmonton and their supporting past brought it tonight.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: I thought Kaptain was tremendous.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: I thought Evander Kane was tremendous physically and the rest
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: of the group.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: There as well.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: And this was a turning point early on. We thought
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: in the first period because this gout reviewed Sam Bennett's
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: they challenged for goaltender in the Pirits Hank, you didn't
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: love it, but it did not go the Oilers.
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: Wey, Yeah, the Oilers had seventeen out of the first
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: twenty minutes, but they had a three minute stand where
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: they give up two goals. One was very questionable in
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: my mind, and then on the challenge they give up
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: another one on the PK. But that's what makes fid
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: us so good as well, but when they get an opportunity,
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: they they will hurt you. So you have to minimize
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: your mistakes.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Even making a bad challenge will hurt you.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: I thought the Anacon chok hold was coming out after this.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: One right here. Yeah, one of the rare times you
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: saw the Florida Panthers d get active. And we saw
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: all previous series and this game we just didn't see it.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Maybe they're showing the orders too much respect for maybe
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: the other had him back on their heels a little bit.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: But they get up the ice to activate. They get
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: a goal from it. But this is the heck of
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: played from pluck.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: Golsen passed the puck back to Arbitston golden net and
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: take away Lebowski's.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Eyes, and you know this is a game of burning respect, right,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: and Skinner after the third goal, earned his teammates respect.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: I mean he shut the door, played made some big.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Saves, played extremely well and secondly, as a team, this
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: was so important for Edmonton to go up one game
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: to zero after being down three nothing last year and
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: never being ahead in that series. This is a completely
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: different final now that Edmonton's up one game to none.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Look at this move by Kapita. They had two breaks.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: I think both were on forst You don't see you
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: normally see him get roasted with the after burners here.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: The other one was Evan Bouchardy benchman who had it
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: that was on fzing.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: My apologies, but just great overall.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Frederick wayn or your pick for the old time nearly
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: double dose and Gretz and Damas in this game on
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: huge say by Bob keeps it going. We though we're
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: headed to double ot, but no, not so fast. McDavid
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: dry sidled game.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: So I think Blue described it perfectly in the in
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: the in the PK right before this. The other group
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: for the Florida Panthers very passive. I like we saw
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: him in the third period overtime and here Nicola ends
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: up going over and barkoff, excuse me, it's just a
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: split second late. And when you get McDavid that much time,
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: you know he's gonna throw a feathery sauce over and
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: it just so happened to be Dry titled his buddy
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: who had two on the game. So just a miraculous
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: play in overtime in order to get the W.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Gretz.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I do want to go back to you because something
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: you mentioned is well start talking about in the pregame
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: is the Oilers don only think they're better and think
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: that they this year, given what they learned last time out,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: he'd come and win this whole thing. But it was
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the hole iice advantage, right went to Game seven last year,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: it was in Florida. It was a two to one game.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Florida wins. Amice advantage means something.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: If you keep it, yeah, you have to keep it.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: The first game is so big, especially for the Edmonton Oiters.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: I think this game for them to win was more
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: important than for Florida to win. Florida is gonna be saying, Okay,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: we know it's a long series. We got to get
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: ready for Game two. We'll correct our mistakes, will be
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: a better hockey club game too. But on the other
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: side of things, now, Edmonton's got some energy and some enthusiasm,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: and as you said, this hockey club believes now, and
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: this was a big win for not only their hockey club,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: but for the city of Edmonton. Quite frankly, now, people
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: in Canada they're so excited about maybe a Canadian team
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: winning and Stanley Cup.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: Why do you guys think that Florida wasn't able to
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: establish that that pressure that we've seen all playoff long,
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: with the d men down the wall pitching with that
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: great F three support.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, we did see a little bit on the.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: Third goal where we got that support and Schmid ended
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: up jumping to play, but we never saw that sustain
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: always one pressure and breathing down the offensive players next.
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: I don't know, I'm just thinking out loud here that
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: maybe they have a lot of respect for the skill
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: and the other side. Sometimes you see Florida they go
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: down the wing and they pushed with their d man,
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: But now when they're facing two of the best players
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: in the world, maybe they do. At least in this game,
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: they sat back a little bit and it hurt them
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: a little bit. It felt like over almost eighty minutes here,
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: it felt like Edmonton played on their toes a lot
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: more than for it.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: And Edmonton's not gonna ever sit back. They're gonna keep
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: pressing and going no matter what the score is three
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: to one, They're still playing the same way.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, we're gonna go right down to ice level.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Matia's echoing, joyous, big reason we went overtime tonight, Matias,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: your first goal since March a tenth, your second game
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: back from injury. I got a friend of yours here, Hendrick.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Do you want to start this?
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Mattias, heankle still get out this.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Great to see you.
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: How does it feel, I mean, the second game back
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: and you were out for a while, But physically, mentally,
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: do you feel like you're you're one hundred percent?
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: It's it's hard to tell about.
• 7:57
  Speaker 8: It's been a couple of games getting about a obviously
• 8:01
  Speaker 8: to contribut with gold. But yeah, we got a lot
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: of workhead of it.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Mattias that face. Can you hear me here?
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Ey?
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah? But I hear my I hear myself. Really, I
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: hear voices in my head.
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: To Matias, I talk to you about the sixth man
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: you guys have here in Edmonton.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: The atmosphere is incredible. Play playoff games sooner at Edvington too.
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: How much of the booses that give you, guys starting
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: the Stanley Cup final here on home ice?
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm not ever played for a building that louder
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: than ours. Our fans are amazing, show up everything, and
• 8:40
  Speaker 8: I'll bet it taken to another.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Another level in the finals. There, so hopefully they keep
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: it going.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Mattis biz here.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: Wayne just touched on up before you hopped on Stuart Skinner.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: You know, he gave up that third one, but after
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: that he was rock solid. What's it been like as
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: a teammate watching him ever since he got his reset
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: to what he's been able to accomplish all the way
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: to right now.
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: Yeah, he's fantastic. I mean, it's been amazing to watch him.
• 9:03
  Speaker 8: I'm we drive back and forth to the airport's usually
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: it's a bit of a drive here, so we have
• 9:08
  Speaker 8: a lot of time to chatter and to see him
• 9:11
  Speaker 8: after the first couple of games where he wasn't maybe
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: playing his potential and obviously Calvin coming in for him,
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: but as soon as he got back and just grabbed
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: a hold of that rope and now it's just never
• 9:21
  Speaker 8: looking back for him. I think you can see in
• 9:23
  Speaker 8: it his demeanor, his calmness. He's just been a difference
• 9:27
  Speaker 8: maker for us. And yeah, I mean he's he's an
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: unbelievable goaltender.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: Tis last question from biz here, what's it like having
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: that Pink Pony Club song playing in the locker room
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: after w's Now, I think that started during playoffs.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: So this is your first experience. What's that like?
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: It's catchy, isn't it. It's great.
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: I haven't heard the song before, I'll be honest, but
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: I think it's great. It's catchy and it gets the
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: mood going.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: All right, all right, good to know.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Hey, listen, I was gonna have one, but I can't
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: follow that.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: That's Wayne's ringtone. He was all in on the oilers.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Who are the Pink Ponies? We're gonna explain later.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: We have so many follow up questions on this. We'll
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: do it another time, much time. Congrats, congrats, appreciate you guys.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: One of the fans had dry titles head super imposed
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: on the Pink Pony Club. I don't know how the
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: song came to be. It's kind of like JOBU where
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: it's at maybe, Oh is that right? Kind of a
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: secret inside.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: The locker room.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: I don't know how the whole thing sparked and began,
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: but they seem to be rallying.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Around it and no one's giving details.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Nobody. Yeah, that's why I was trying to ask a
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: few questions about it. Pink Pony Is that a band?
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Or is that a song? It's a woman. She sings
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: a song Pink Pony Club, and it's famous.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: It's on the radio, and I think it's an American girl,
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: but all of a sudden it popped off. I believe
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: she won a few Grammys. And now they're rocking in
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: the locker room.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: So I'm here, Tony. It's the new generation. I gotta
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: I gotta get that on my ring Cone.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: We're gonna have Hank play the acoustic version game. Yeah
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: you'll sing, okay, seem like you're that into it. I
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: thought I thought that was like a guarantee.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Already playing through something right now. And last time I sang,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I think Hank was very unimpressed. No, no, no, you
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: were good. It was a talkt's goodbye, That's what it was.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: You're gonna use gout now as your reason for not
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: singing this on pretty much that's gonna happen.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: You think you don't want to do scouting.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: Matter, you can call your band the Goat Gout. Okay, Okay,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: there you go.
