Summary

Jeff and ESPN's Greg Wyshynski kick off the show discussing the Oilers' keys to success in the Stanley Cup Finals against the Panthers. The pair weigh in on why reaching a Cup final with Edmonton is vindication for Ken Holland, the goaltending in the series, Leon Draisaitl’s future with the Oilers, and more. Later, they debate who will be the last man standing from the legendary 2003 NHL Entry Draft, if Joe Pavelski is a Hall of Famer, where he ranks amongst American born players, and what the summer has in store for the Dallas Stars. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
