00:00So, I said yesterday on the show that I believe that the Edmonton Oilers can win the Stanley
00:06Cup.
00:07I know they lost the Stanley Cup.
00:08I know they were down three zip.
00:10They came back.
00:11They lost in seven.
00:12It is what it is.
00:13And that they were down three nothing in that game and Colorado came back and they won that
00:17game for three.
00:18I think for my money, they're still the most dangerous team in the West.
00:23I respect LA.
00:24I respect Vegas.
00:26I respect a lot of teams, Dallas and Colorado and, you know, even Minnesota, but Minnesota
00:33is not winning the Stanley Cup.
00:34The Edmonton Oilers to me stand out as the most talented team and they say, oh, well,
00:38they played all this hockey.
00:39Like you just said, Florida played all this hockey.
00:41I don't care how much hockey they play.
00:43These guys are badasses.
00:44They'll play that much hockey again and go to the final.
00:48They played a lot of hockey.
00:49They lost game seven.
00:51They're still motivated.
00:52Conor's still motivated.
00:54And you know, I saw the other night against LA.
00:55It was nothing, nothing in the third period.
00:57They've put out Conor and Leon on four and four, goal, game over, Conor scored the goal.
01:02So yeah, it's still a very dangerous team.
01:04They just, they just saw John Klingberg, who's probably going to pair with Darnell Nurse
01:08on the second pair.
01:09So yeah, this is a very dangerous team that could certainly emerge because I can't tell
01:13you this team that, oh, without question could beat the Oilers in the seven game series.
01:17Like most games would either be a toss up or they'd be favored.
01:20So yeah, they can still absolutely win.
01:22They're still that good because of 97 and 29.
01:25The question I have about the Oilers is their play on the wing, are the wingers going to
01:28be good enough?
01:29They don't have, you know, they don't have Evander Kane.
01:31He's going to be out for a little while.
01:33They don't have a true sniper on the wing.
01:36Zach Hyman's going to score 35 goals, but he's not a dangerous scorer coming off the
01:39wing.
01:40The only flaw I see on that team is maybe they don't get enough production from the
01:43wing.
01:44But, and you mentioned Colorado last time.
01:46You know why Colorado lost?
01:47Because they had Conor and Leon at one, two in the center.
01:50Ohio has McKinnon and they have Casey Middlestad, who's now a three seed the way he's playing.
01:54They can't match up in the middle.
01:56And that's why Edmonton Oilers got to the Stanley Cup, because these teams can't match
01:59up with Conor and Leon in the middle.
02:01And they're getting pretty good goal contending from Skinner.
02:04And they do decide to play defense sometimes as well.
02:06Do you think Winnipeg, because I still think Dallas and Colorado and even LA to me can
02:13be as dangerous or more so than Winnipeg.
02:16Winnipeg to me is on top.
02:17Everybody thinks they're going to go because they're on top.
02:19They always fold up shop.
02:22That's the problem.
02:23They have a great goaltender who played great last year in a regular season.
02:26It got to the playoffs and he couldn't stop a beach ball and he couldn't defend and that's
02:29the issue.
02:30Scotty, it depends on a matchup.
02:32Like that was a terrible matchup against Colorado.
02:34If you know, if, if, if they get Minnesota in the first round, let's say it's a two three
02:39and Colorado wins a vision.
02:40Could they win?
02:41Yeah.
02:42At that point they could win, but it depends upon matchups.
02:43I don't know about this team because they are so great in a regular season, Scotty,
02:47but they're, they, they have won one playoff game in the last couple of seasons.
02:52That's not good enough.
02:53So I'm going to defer on them.
02:54They have all the tools, but I'm not sure they can do it in the postseason.
