00:00Rensi told me the last time I saw him that the Oilers had a couple of three game losing
00:11streaks during the season three to be exact.
00:14And the first one they came out of it and won six in a row.
00:18Then the second one they lost three in a row they came out they won 16 in a row.
00:22Then they lost the first three games of the Stanley Cup finals and they've come out of
00:26it and won two straight.
00:28Tomorrow night they'll go for 3-3 if they can win game six at the Rogers in Pharrell,
00:35Alberta.
00:36And I'm assuming that you know already that they're going to do that and send this back
00:41to the Everglades for a Monday night winner take all game seven.
00:45Are you still riding the Oilers to win the Stanley Cup and McDavid to win the cons might?
00:52Like a degenerate gambler I'm still kicking myself for not betting more on the Oilers
00:57in the last game.
00:58I was absolutely positively remember the old-school commercial Scott the package absolutely positively
01:04has to get to Pittsburgh overnight right?
01:06Remember when commercials were good where's the beef right?
01:12Remember when they had the package off and Pittsburgh had to get to Pittsburgh positively
01:17overnight.
01:18And I was positively the package was going to get to Pittsburgh overnight that the Edmonton
01:22Oilers were going to win the other night in Florida.
01:25But now the pressure is back on again Edmonton were playing with house money Scott.
01:30They had nothing to lose.
01:31Everybody had given up on them.
01:32They were down three games to none.
01:33All right, you win 8-1 that's like okay, but you know, it's only game five now then you
01:40did it again, right?
01:41Yeah, and we've talked about this a lot.
01:43You follow the Oilers throughout the playoffs.
01:45They got better as the series is go on point blank Skinner Skinner's 9-0 in elimination
01:52games.
01:53They got 9-0 in her last nine elimination games in the playoffs.
01:58Yeah, like they're when like they save their best for last and we've seen Bobrovsky's been
02:05a train wreck right now, but all the psychology is gone and I've been around a game a long
02:10time and I saw Paul Murray said the same thing and he goes, you know, he goes it was kind
02:16of tough or about here and he was talking about the site, you know, just sort of the
02:19psych of everything and he goes now there's no more this or that he goes now it's just
02:23hockey.
02:24There's two games left.
02:25We're not thinking about anything anymore.
02:27There's no more planning.
02:28There's no more anything every shift just counts and it can backfire Scott right when
02:33the crowd is not fired up, but I wish you and I were going to this game tomorrow night
02:36at Edmonton because I got to tell you this is going to be the loudest crowd in the history
02:41of hockey.
02:42It's going to be the drunkest crowd in the history of hockey like like I'm jealous and
02:48I'm not I'm not even an oiler fan.
02:49My uncle played for them.
02:50I used to, you know, pull from when I was a kid when he was on the team, but dude the
02:56last the last game Scott they hit like a hundred and thirteen on the decibel level.
03:02It's louder than a jet Motorhead set a world record like at a hundred and thirty-three
03:07decibels for a concert.
03:09They're moving in on Motorhead levels, bro, let me like yeah, like they're as loud as
03:15a wall of like Marshalls and Motorhead a man of war technically have the world record
03:21right now for the loudest bad ever, but it was kind of a it was a lame move.
03:26They did it just deliberately to beat get the world record once Motorhead were consistently
03:31like no one cares about a man of war drum book a world record.
03:37Yeah good for you, but you know Scott it can backfire at times because that building's
03:42going to be so fired up man, but I do think the Oilers can pull this off.
03:47It has it's only happened once last time was 1942 and remember I threw it out to you and
03:51you're like, all right, but I said, yeah largest win in an elimination game and then here since
03:571942 and here we are right now, but I'll tell you what if the Oilers win tomorrow, they're
04:03winning on Monday in Florida.
04:06The Panthers better win the cup tomorrow night.
04:09Like otherwise the Connor McGee's will not be denied bro.
04:13This is it that you and I talked about you always talk about you want to be the best
04:17you're going to win right get your name on the cup.
04:20If he pulls this off from down oh three and Scott you're going to like this.
04:24You're a Mario Lemieux guy.
04:26There's only two players in the history of the NHL that have ever had 40 or more points
04:32in the playoffs before Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky the only two guys and they did it
04:37a couple of times each a bunch of times Carter McDavid has just joined them.
04:42If he can come back from old three and he's done it this it'll be one of the most iconic
04:47victories in the history of sport.
