Don’t forget that Edmonton has more points on the Penalty Kill than Florida has on their Power Play

Give us 7 games of this please. The sport deserves it

I love that clip of Corey Perry, NHL veteran of 19 seasons, 1300+ games, looking at McDavid and saying "Are you kidding me!?"

“Hockey cyborg built in a lab” killed me

For some reason, I really enjoy these analyses of NHL games despite me having clue what's going on

It feels like McDavid between games 3 and 4 just remembered he’s the greatest hockey player in the world and just started too play like it again

He has 34 assists this playoffs, next closest is Gretzky at 31. 'Next closest is Gretzky' didnt think words could be put in that order tbh

4:20 i am happy you mentioned how McDavid took the pass effortless even on his backhand in full speed, because no one did and no replay showed it either. this is so difficult to do because most players tend to go inside or to slow down/break, but not him. Thats really special.

The McDavid breakdown at 4:50 is why I love this channel. I was wondering wtf happened to make Bob look silly & it’s because McDavid won the chess match. Great stuff man.

😂😂😂 Dude ya broke me for like 10 minutes with the "F this water bottle"! 😂😂😂😂

Dangles on three defenders then across goalies face for a tap in?! Can EDM actually pull this off? This is turning into an absolutely riveting series. 🔥

As a Panther fan, nothing but respect to the Oilers and McDavid. I never saw this being a sweep. I never saw this being an easy series. McDavid hands down deserves the Conn Smyth whether they win or lose the cup. For Edmonton, the only thing that should be worrying, is the same way they figured us out at yhe end of game 3 to the halfway point of the second last night, is the Panthers started looking like that team who went up 3-0. The same way Edmonton found a way, Florida could as well and if how the Panthers played moves into Game 6...well...we shall see. I am not getting my hopes up. I haven't all series but win or lose I have all the respect for Edmonton and McJesus.

"you're an embarassment to the department, Bobrovsky!" I'm dead 😂

The Panthers aren't choking, they are doing their very best. What's happening is the Oilers stopped choking and started playing.

The roller coaster of emotions is real lol

That was just about the best game of hockey I've watched since I started in Middle School. I'm not even an Oilers or Panthers fan. Just wow.

If Florida gets the man advantage, can they forfeit that and just pay 5 on 5? lol

The quality of hockey is just insane, whichever side you're on. This is lit.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO SINCE GAME ENDED LAST NIGHT. WHAT A GAME (Love this channel)

We need 7 games of this action

If Edmonton somehow forces 7, this would be the most insane comeback in the history of the nhl

I think McDavid's low-goal on Bob is my favorite of the night because he makes it look so simple (and it is!). He doesn't overthink it.

Here’s the thing that I feel like a lot of people aren’t mentioning… all post season, Knoblauch and the oilers have been adapting. Taking a bit of time to figure out the strategies. We saw it in the Dallas series where you made a video about their “beer league strategy”. A couple games later, that issue was dealt with. When I watch post game interviews with Paul Maurice, the only thing he said about last night was “we have to switch out guys faster on the PK”. Obviously he’s not going to divulge to the media what his strategy is… but it seems to me like Florida isn’t adapting. That comment to me just says “we have to play better” instead of “we’ll adjust our play to counter”. And that’s why the oilers are finding a way to win. Cause let’s be honest, I don’t think Bob (and the rest of the panthers) can play any better than he did the first three games. With that being said, they play their style of hockey very well. And they are a very good team. Nothing but respect for them… but to me it seems like they are being out coached right now.

It seems that me and 250 others were waiting for you to drop this one 🙏

McDavid deserves that cup. He gets so much hate and im convinced its just because he's not on there team. Im sorry Panthers but hes just UNREAL.

The bubble comments you added over the Florida players had me rolling 😂 we all know that's exactly what they were thinking, too.

I love this channel because of how much knowledge I get so I can be smarter at hockey and when I play hockey, I can get better. This channel really helped me Develop so I wanna thank hockey psychology for making me know what’s really going on in the hockey world

McDavid needed this. His legacy depends on him stepping up when it matters. He sure did!

Broberg deserves some shine because he’s done well for his first true postseason

Hockey Psychology has to be the best hockey youtuber ever and he makes people understand hockey even if they are new to hockey. Keep doing what your doing best and can't wait for hockey and your channel to blow up

Mcdavid isnt human tho

Edmonton needs to keep the foot on the gas pedal to win this series. Even if they're up by 7 goals, they need to play the same fast and aggressive game. As soon as they take the foot off the pedal they get caught flat footed. Skinner has been electric in net this series, the guys in front just need to keep putting the puck in the net at the other end.

This is why I love this channel. I didn’t notice 91 peeling off 97 with 20 seconds left!! Why the hell would he just give up on the play?? I guess that’s the kind of mental/fatigue errors that a playoff grind will do to you.

This Channel is Off the Hook, You Guys and this Channel are the BEST EVER !!!!! Keep Up this Excellent Job you all do for us with the BEST Sport in all the World. I Absolutely Love the Game of Hockey.

Honey wake up, Hockey Psychology just dropped a new vid

I want to see a game 7. Everyone except Panther fans want a game 7

Those SHGs have been absolute killers for the Panthers these past couple of games. Both times those goals absolutely energized the Oilers and they were able to establish a comfortable lead quickly, forcing the Panthers to play catch-up instead of playing their game. However, I did like the response of the Panthers in period 2 and 3. That’s they intensity and style they need to play if they want to raise Lord Stanley over their head. If they can establish the tone to start and get settled in on Friday, they have a good shot. It was good to see Tkachuk begin to heat up. I think Erod being on that line was what was needed to get them going. They were everywhere last night. Now if only the top line could elevate their play.

edmonton rushing the blue line, then angling over to pressure the puck carrier on the PK is absolutely brilliant, and i freakin love it. they do it with such consistency too, and its beautiful. completely take away the cross ice D to D shift and control ok the pk, and if they try the pass anyway it is a high danger pass that can be picked into what we've witnessed already.

I started to play icehockey as an adult, and has been playing in a beerleague for 15 years now, and I'm still totally clueless about this sport :D These insights are the best on YT, I don't realize this tactical moves only feel the "momentum change", which with the help of this channel I somehow can understand (on the surface though). Thanks for that! ♥

Tell the keeper of the cup not to bother lugging it back to edmonton. Might as well leave it in Florida for game 7.

The Panthers are looking like the 2011 Vancouver Canucks. They started out as the better team, but they've alowed the Oilers back into the series, with Bob becoming human at the worst possible time.

I enjoyed how Florida just stepping back and watching Brown finish that first goal without any attempt to stop him

McDavid is starting to awaken. Game 6 is going to be very exciting.

5:28 that mcdavid play was like seeing gretzky on the ice again. A fantastic play

Oilers in 7. It is part of the story for the Oilers entire year. Start 2-9-1 and then turn it on to make it to the Stanley cup playoffs and get to the Cup Finals. Then go down 3-0 in said final to then come back and win it all. The final series mirrors the regular season to finish the amazing story.

It’s funny I was thinking the same thing on that empty net goal. The Florida player gave up on the play after Tkachuk chased it down. You were the only person I saw who noticed that.

you can even see Bob reacting like he's expecting it top shelf

Voice is sounding much better glad to hear it

The oilers had amazing momentum the first half of this game and they played great the whole game really however the Panthers definitely seemed to regain their footing. It will really come down to whether the Oilers can drum up that energy they had for game 6. I could really see anything happening here but either panthers come back hard in game 6 or its going to be a hard fought battle for another oilers win.

i swear any time an oilers player gets a break away they turn into prime Gretzky and score. Mcdavid also decided that he WANTS the cup. Tkachuk also played an incredible game and deserves some credit... OEL absolutely ruined that empty net save

You are an awesome analyst! Love this site for hockey!

Great review as always. I think on McDavid's goal, Foegle was trying to put an area pass to Ekholm. You can see Eckolm (#14) wide open at the right edge of the frame at 4:21. Had McDavid not grabbed the puck at that weird angle (super impressive puck control!), it would've ended up in the right spot for Eckolm to make a play.

I could be wrong but the Oilers PK has more goals than the Panthers PP.

That game was frickin amazing. I repent that a team from the Western conference was about to lose this series. It was Florida’s series to win, and they couldn’t keep Edmonton in a box; oil now going everywhere. Game six to be a nail biter

Super very high quality content. The insight this channel gives goes well beyond the obvious parts making the watch very worthwhile.

Great breakdown, again. We are witnessing history with Connor's play.

Was waiting for this one. Man Edmonton finally woke up and realized this wasn't the regular season anymore. Let's see how the Cats adapt for game 6

Imagine if the Oilers actually came back and won? And what it would do for McDavids legacy. Crazy

My heart would explode out of my chest if this went to a game 7 OT

Whatever happens, McD is the Smythe winner. He reminds me of Derek Jeter or Michael Jordan. What a game it was, and what a game is coming up on Friday.

Great video! First NHL RU-vid channel I've ever subscribed to, thanks for your hard work, keep it up :)

I was at the edge of my seat when Florida scored their 3rd goal and I was jumping up and down when Mcdavid got the empty net 😁😁

Beautiful breakdown, bro! The dangles setting up Perry's goal were epic! My opinion...the longer the series goes the more pressure there is on Florida. I smell a choke coming on after the Oilers take game 6.

Been waiting for your vid after last night’s game.

I'm convinced that Connor McDavid is some sort of crazy hockey leprechaun.

7:55 I was thinking the same thing about barkov during that short handed break away like no urgency here - not gonna annoy the piss out of him like tchucky would have! ... 'I'm just gonna let Bob do his thing I guess shrug'❓️❓️❓️❓️

'a hockey cyborg cooked in a lab.' lol Nuff said. He is the great one of our time.

Such a fun game

Florida getting absolutely bullied on THIER powerplay is wild to me.

As a Dallas fan who team has been eliminated by the eventual Stanley cup champions the last 3 years, let's continue the trend and see the reverse sweep. TBH I wanted to see McDavid lift the cup as soon as it was over for the Stars.

Love your work and i think you missed how Perry ended up in front of the net for the McDangle assist. I believe Nurse yelled at him to jump on the ice.

Only thing you didn’t mention was that for that God like play, McDavid was over 2 minutes into his shift

I don't think they'll manage it, but by god do I want Edmonton to win this. (I live in Quebec by the way)

FYI, your analysis videos, along with Jeff Marek's "Hey Birkie!" series, are the only ones to suck in my spouse, who thoroughly enjoys the context nobody else provides as cleanly as you. Thank you.

We got a series worthy of the Stanley Cup finals.

Man I'm early. Loving this series and your analysis

The special teams discrepancy is starting to show; 5-1 special teams goals for Edmonton including 2 shorthanded goals.

You're the first person I've seen give OEL some grief for completely giving up on Tkachuk's play. Insane hustle and the OEL just mails it in for McDavid to do what he does. Pretty disrespectful to Tkuchuk's effort, IMO.

Edmonton’s third line is putting in some really productive shifts - that *has* to be giving Florida headaches. Credit to the Panthers: they controlled a good chunk of the 2nd and most of the 3rd, so the Oilers may have to weather a storm in the opening few minutes Friday. The Edmonton crowd might be a difference maker.

Really, really enjoyed the video. thank you!

Im very new to Hockey and these breakdowns have been helping me out so much

i was joking during this playoff run that i should buy a connor brown jersey. now i just might have to.

Edmonton fans keep cheering! OILERS in 7! BELIEVE.

the oilers are just playing some of the most beautiful hockey. early in the series they weren't getting any breaks.

This video gave me chills

Great vids bro

Fantastic content. Subscribed. In pure entertainment, Oilers fans are already winners, even if they’re not eventually THE winners.

I'm watching hockey for 2 years now, can someone simply explain to me why everybody says "40 points in this era of hockey is insane" or "I thought we would never see 40 points playoffs again, 25 points is considered excellent". What was so different in the gretzky era?

It makes me so proud and yet so sick at the same time.

Best hockey breakdown content out on the interwebz 🧡💙👏🙌✨

Best game in years!!

I think the series is crazy. I got Edmonton in game seven to 2 to 1 let’s go Edmonton

bringing up that last graphic was a low blow man...

The panthers actually lost that one on purpose so they can go back to edmonton and lose game 6 in order to return to florida in order to lose game 7 just to make sure they can really REALLYYY (show em) next year what they're made of

Great job 🔥

could it be a…. reverse…. sweeep?

McDavid about to get his own bridge next🤣🔥🔥

McDavid is a man on a mission I’ll be worry being a Panthers there’s no one that can or will stopped him! Oilers!!

I like this breakdown❕
