Panthers Even the Series 1-1 vs. Oilers in Double OT Thriller _ NHL on TNT · Bleacher Report

  Speaker 1: It's hard to argue right now, Brad Marshan was. It
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: was the surprise of the trade deadline, right. We were
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: right down at the end, and Brad Marshan winds up
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: going to the reigning Stanley Cup champs injured for a while.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: We don't really get to see him play. We wonder
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: what kind of effect he's going to have. Guess what,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: he's having an enormous effect on this Well.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: It just shows you good management goes a long way, right.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: They had their guts to step out and said, you
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: know what, we need to add some depth to our
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: squad and that line with Lundell and Marshot. Their line
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: played so well the first game, and they played so
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: well tonight and of course getting the overtime winner. There
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: was a difference maker, but that it was a good trade.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: It was a really good hockey game. You hate to
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: see a game like that one team lose, right, especially
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: the home team, because people were so fired up today
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: and tonight. It started at nine this morning with the
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: bands playing and my goodness, but you know this is
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: what makes the Stanley Cup so wonderful. It's hard to
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: win that thing and you got to you got to
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: earn it. And Florida is going to play right to
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: the end. And I thought the game turned around the
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: second period. We talked about this went to Chuck and
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: bark Up. They just seemed to go to another level
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: and that sort of inspired the rest of their group.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Well, look at these people still in their seats. These
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: are live images. People are stuck.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: I think they're waiting for them to challenge it or something.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Maybe if they're just going to get overturned. But it
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: ain't gonna go that way. But that's why you make
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: those types of deadline deals boys. And you know, maybe
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: there's been a few guys who won the Cup last
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: year for the Florida Panthers team that have been a
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: little bit sleepy, but those pickups are there to elevate
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: them in moments like that. And Brad Marshaw all throughout
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: these playoffs being inserted on that third line, getting the
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: matchups that he wants. He's came through in the crutch,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: including that shorthanded goal earlier in the game, and then
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: obviously to seal the deal in.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Ot Well, Gretz talk about the second period. I thought
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Bob was on real in the second period too, especially
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: to start that period and Noiler's had two quality chances,
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: especially in the three on one. But this, I mean,
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: what a hockey game.
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: Boys.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: I can't wait to get the Ford Lauderdale to sit
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: on the beach and just recoupering here, hank back and forth,
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: highlight all day over time. This had a little bit
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: of everything, didn't it.
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I bet there's a lot of kids out there.
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: You're gonna watch a lot of YouTube and highlights over
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: the next couple of days because he's they've seen it
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: all here in the first two games, and just some
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: excellent performances as a team, but also individually that some
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: of these goals, they're just massive pieces.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: And given the chaos in that first period, we didn't
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: really get to get a chance to break down all
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: the Florida goals. And we could talk about the Marshaw
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: and the Seth Joneses. But when Oliver Eckman Larson left
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: this team, they replaced him with Nate Schmidt, a very
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: team friendly deal. And I thought that not only through
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: all playoffs, but particularly in this game, like some of
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: these plays he's making like that right there, he's looking
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: like cal mccarr and some of these shifts and two
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: really really nice assists tonight, and he continues to pay
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: dividends for this team, and just a remarkable goal there
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: by step Jones.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, and again they lost two really good defensemen,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Montur and Eckman Larsen. These kids have stepped in. They've
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: played really well. And you know, when you come a
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: championship team, there's something special about the team that you
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: embrace the guy you come in. I mean, all the
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: new guys, that's all they're talking about. How much they
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: love playing with this group, and how hard they work
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: and how unselfish they are, and that's why they're three
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: games away from another Stanley Cup.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Well, the Panthers getting.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: So much offense from their Dan, you know the older
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: was gonna counter that, and they got Evan blue Shard
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: three points in the hockey game tonight. Speaking of guys
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: are getting paid, He's gonna get paid too. He set
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: a weapon out there at five and five, five on four.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: He really adds a different elements in the back end
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: for that.
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: And to know it, by the way, we were just
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: watching highlights, Sam. That was only for the first period,
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: by the way, Yeah, everyone at home watching that was
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: enough highlights for a full game. Maybe even overtime game,
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: but that was twenty minute.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: We needed another hour pre game out to the first
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: to break everything down. That's why we could get to
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Nate Schmidt. But here's that first breakaway there. Yeah, ended
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: up going five hole. Just an absolute beauty, and I
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: thought Florida was gonna ice it here. I thought we're
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: gonna see just like last year that Anacona chol folk,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: but just a remarkable comeback. Obviously, we talked about Bob
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: and particularly I'm going over to you, Hank, and that
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: first overtime thirteen stops for him, kind of one of
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: those situations like Wayne talks about Grant Fury gives up
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: that fourth one, He's like, there's no way I'm letting
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: another puck get him behind me.
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it was such a challenging game for a goalie
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: that all the broken place in front of a lot
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: of traffic, a lot of bump fins like this one.
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: But he was battling and also relying on incredible techniques
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: so here in this way he was just incredible.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Such a hard game, both teams fighting tooth and nail
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: for every single inch of the ice. I mean, you
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: can feel for the guys and that same there from Bob.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: I mean, Hank, you talk about all the time we
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: stay so.
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: Tight yet unpacked, and I'm sure he's aware of this
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: play mc david comes down, he's looking at you to
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: bite you, but he Bob knows he has to explode
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: to his left because dry silo is over there to
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: his left.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: And Wayne, even you were getting little bit frustrated with
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: all the ice singings through the courses, ended up coming
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: back to bite him in the ass because they took
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: advantage of being able to pull him a goalie keeping
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: those guys in there. And of course, one of the
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: other amazing stories of these playoffs, forty year old Corey Perry,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: he finds the back of the d I don't know
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: how he gets his stick loose in that situation, but
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: I will tell you with this, and I don't get
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Florida credit. I really felt in that second overtime they
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: were a lot better and more personal, purposeful with where they.
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: Put the puck on their duckpins.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: I thought they started to turn the tide and clearly
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: the game winner there just a beautiful read by Brad
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Marshaw and knowing that one Delle's going to get that
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: puck a great execution.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we talked about it. Good coaching, right,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: you got to make the adjustments, and you guys had it
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: in the first overtime. How crucial it was. They kept
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: dumping the butt to the Edmonton goaltenders and they came
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: out for the second overtime. They threw everything up on
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: the glass and hard around and he couldn't get out
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: of the net to get the pucks. So they definitely
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: did some homework and watching videos after that.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I think they're watching us down there.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: They're not listen. I better get a ring.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: If they're watching that video in the coaches room. I
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: want to ring.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I don't care they gave you a tie. I don't
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: know if you're getting a ring. Evanson gave you that.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Florida's not get anything.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: No, I don't think they might get me a wedgie,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: including this guy life.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: What I was getting to earlier was just this idea,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: a brick Talcket out him on four Nations, and you
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: bring him and he takes the pressure off of everyone else,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: right because he'll talk, do the interviews, get guys going,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: keep things loose, and then you put him wherever you
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: want play him as much or as little as you want,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: and you're still getting the big impact that he can deliver.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Reds Well, that's why he pulled that Boston Bruins team,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: you know, because he's an unselfish guy who works hard,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: who's well liked by his teammates. You can't cheat the
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: team right if you work hard and practice, work hard
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: in games. You could see on his face he just
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: wants to win. He's very unselfish. It was a tremendous
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: trade for the Florida Panthers to make right and he's
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: been a big part of their playoff run. Good for him,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: good for them. This is going to be a test
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: for the Oilers now because one of the things we
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: haven't talked about. They love their speed. They have great finesse.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: The ice isn't quite as good in Florida. It's a
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: little more humid, a little softer. There's there's gonna be
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: a few more bouncing pucks. And the NHL does as
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: good a job as they can to make every ice
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: surface the same, but there's no ice like there is
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: in Edmonton. It's the best ice in the National Hockey League,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: and it's fast and it's crisp. You don't get a
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: lot of fluttering Florida. The humidity is going to change that.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: So do you change anything about your game if you're
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: the Oilers based on what you just talked.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: About, Absolutely, you gotta be more dump and chase unless
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: you have sort of situations where three on two, two
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: on ones you can't be fancy. You got to dump
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: and chase. You got to play more like that.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: All right? If did just your play on the ice,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Hank's gonna have to adjust the SPF.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Don't.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: You don't have Sumburn Haank for this one. We don't.
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: We're excited. You will see a lobster on Monday.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: I'm out there.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Another great prediction.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: I don't need anything any other illnesses away from the sun.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I will say this, it's pretty cool to be in
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: this building and you know, be here with Wayne and
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: see all you know, the great sites and see the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: statue outside. But you walk around and there's all different
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: former Evanson Oilers here, your former Evans and Oiler. We
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: saw people coming up and you know, having your jersey
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: signed by you, and you look at some of the
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: pictures that are around this building. It takes you back
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: to your days here. We also had some of your
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: teammates there with you. George Rock is with you. George,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Big George. We saw him the other night. He was
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: on the jumbo Tron. Maybe the biggest ovation we've heard
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: outside of when they won that game. Uh, it's a
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: big night and George Lock is here and he wants
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: to come and celebrate with you.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: My man, I was swimming here. It's lucky. I'm lucky.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Is that a vegan cake?
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: George, George, take my mic?
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Happy, Good to see you.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Apparently you are miked up.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: I guess you got one. Sorry, Great to see you, George.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Get on over here, come on next.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: To come on in here?
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: Come on?
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: Did you guys hear the ovation that Big George got
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: with much Yeah, that wasn't by accident. George is one
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: of the most community friendly guys, and I played the ollers.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: He always walked around the sharpie in his hand all
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: the time because he knew that he wanted to be
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: ready whenever someone asked for an autograph. And years later,
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: after you retired, the people here in Edonton still love you.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Absolutely. The only guy bigger in ovation than
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: him here would be Joey Moss.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: I got to ask you. Did you ever get a
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: chance to go get over to Ace Beach when Ace
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: had the hot tub put on his apartment balcony. George,
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: you got a chance to get in there?
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: George, you're not allowed.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: To you know.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: Then once the way I could say all aces in
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: the golf course when I wanted to race you. He
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: took a lot of money from me because that could
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: beat him in a race. Thing that takes off.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Me running a golf carts.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: No running, guys are just having a sprinting race of that.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: I'll set the stage here quickly. George is like six
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: five years to forty, not really two forty, maybe like
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: two seven. He's looking at me and he's like, Oace,
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: I could beat you. I could take you. I go, okay,
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: some bucks, let's do this on the golf course. Killed him.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: He didn't know I had the scarboard and tarial record
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: for the hundred meters nine till like fifteen. Smoked him,
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: and George never like to lose. Let's do it again again.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: I said, okay, I'll take your money again, double or nothing.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Just smoked him.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: I think you beat Danny Cleary. Then after two yes,
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Bear saw it, After you saw you how you beat me.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: He's like, oh, I'm gonna make some money with George,
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: so I may double with that.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Clearly, well, listen, we split the first two games. We'll
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: be back here for game five. Let's do this again.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Let's run it back rematched between you two.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: We'll do it a little.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: I'm too heavy, George.
