Summary

Jeff and Elliotte kick off the show breaking down how the Edmonton Oilers were able to overcome their abysmal start to the season and advance to the Stanley Cup Finals. They discuss what changed under Kris Knoblauch after Jay Woodcroft was dismissed, if the Rangers “gifted” Knoblauch to the Oilers, how the Oilers transformed their defensive game, and the group's special teams effort. Then, they discuss if we saw the last of Joe Pavelski in the NHL, before moving on to how the Oilers stack up against the Florida Panthers. They discuss Skinner’s play throughout the postseason, the Cats' defence, and much more! 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.
