Summary

Jeff kicks off the show with Bob Stauffer of Oilers Now as they recap Edmonton's blowout win over the Panthers in Game 4. They discuss the atmosphere at Rogers Place, Kris Knoblauch’s track record in the playoffs in his junior career, and the Oilers' penalty kill overshadowing their elite powerplay. Then, Jeff and Producer Matt Marchese discuss the Oilers' record 50/50 draw, the fallout from the Blue Jackets sweeping the Lightning in 2019, the path back into the series for Edmonton, Connor McDavid’s Conn Smythe chances, and more (17:35). Finally, the ‘Goalie Whisperer' Kevin Woodley joins the program (49:51). They discuss how Edmonton attacked Sergei Bobrovsky in Game 4, the Panthers netminder’s mentality after getting pulled, Stuart Skinner’s outstanding performance, and the future for Anthony Stolarz. 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.
