What would a Stanley Cup win do for Connor McDavid’s legacy? | OverDrive Hour 1 | 06-03-24 

The look O gave when Noodles was talking about how he was texting with Struds 😂

if bobby keeps playing the way he playing Florida will win cup

Oilers going to run it back next year .

@@mitchellmaxwell1892 Leon will leave.

Leon signing extension

They have a lot more grit in Florida. Bennet, Goudas, Ekholm, and a few others. You are not going to bully Chuck.

@@MisterMister5893gudas is in anaheim my guy

And Ekholm on Edmonton ​@@MisterMister5893

@@MisterMister5893 Gudas is in Anaheim, and Ekholm is in - get this - Edmonton. Not to mention, in 2022 Tkachuk got shut down by none other than Evander Kane. Calgary tried to avoid that matchup as best they could Games 2-5

Hayes is an oilers hater

Canadians: we love hockey its our sport. But not if none of our teams are in it

@@riff5fki I lose a lot of interest when my fav. team gets eliminated. It has nothing to do with Canada vs USA, because this isn't an international tournament like the Olympics. NHL teams represent their city, not the country. Media just loves to hype things up. As far as Nationality, VGK was the most Canadian team in the league last year. 18 were Canadians, out of 24. With these two teams in the finals, regardless of what country their city happens to be in, just look at the prominent players. McDavid, RNH, Bouchard, Hyman, Kane, Foegele, Nurse, etc.. 12 of their top 14 guys are Canadian including the goalie(exceptions being Drai and Ekholm). For Florida, only 6 of their top 14 guys are Canadian.

​@@steve8803 16 of 20 oilers are Canadian :o

@@natheayn6111 I am seeing 5 non Canadians. Draisaitl, Broberg, Ekholm, Ryan, Janmark. But yes, they'd have to be the most Canadian team this year, I would think? When you include their reserve players, it's 19 out of 24!

@@steve8803 you are right I missed Derek Ryan. Can't imagine anyone else has 0 Finns, 0 Russians, and only 1 American though. Honestly I was shocked when I realized.

My thinking as well. Draisaitl, too. People don't give enough credit for how tough and heavy McD and Drai play. Florida won't have it easy, either.

@@seanyesaki5985 no easy series here for anyone. Oilers are slightly bigger for average height and can play a physical game as well. Not to mention we’ve got 4 players leading the playoffs in scoring and skinner might have figured it out. Only way oilers win is if skinner from the wcf shows up and even a bit better

And while that's true, he's still having a relatively solid playoffs, considering he's been injured all season. Good depth scoring at half a point per game, and did a great job of neutralizing Zadorov's game as the series went on.

@@George__Parasol279 ya I think he's like our 9th most valuable player roughly

He has a hernia

O-Dog doesn't even watch Oilers games. He's a fuckin fraud and talks out of his ass. We all know at 11PM he's munching down an entire X large Pizza to himself, he's not watching Oilers games. This is why at the beginning of the year he DEMANDED the Oilers trade Bouchard for a goalie prospect and called Skinner/Picard jabroni goalies. He knows jack shit about the Oilers.

You’re not wrong this year but it was just 2 playoffs ago where he had 2 hat tricks against the kings in the first round and had like 10+ goals the first time the oilers made it to the WCF. He has been a huge part of this team in the postseason and even through injury he will play a big role in the intangibles for this final.

Agree..it was ridiculous ..i remember the rangers whe. He got all.the talented.guys at the end of their careers..made me laugh..

He's the best player ever in terms of skill

No Gretzky👍👍👍

Best goal scorer will be Matthews when he retires he will break Gretzsky and Ovi goal record. 👍👍👍

​@@user-sn8sw2vi8zwon't matter if it doesn't translate to playoff success. With Gretzky, he certainly played in a weak era but that's not his fault.

Crosby

💯

It does in ways, and not in other ways imo. I Mcdavid was a ghost in every playoffs, I'd say a cup matters. The way he plays in the playoffs though, it doesn't matter to me.

It adds something to an individual players legacy and their greatness, obviously the organization has to make the right moves around you as well it all intertwines together, McDavid is clearly a generational talent with or without a cup but hes been on talented teams and now he's on the biggest stage and performing on the biggest stage equates to an aspect of greatness, when you start having top 10 all time debates you know what every one of these players are gonna have in common? They all have cups/championships depending on the sport you make a list in basketball it's the same thing they all have rings. Also another thing I think gets lost in this generation is the meaning of greatness and being part of the greatest to ever play, this generation calls someone different a GOAT every day but when you're mentioned with the greatest of all time you can only name a short list of players and again they all are champions. As far as Matthews he's come up short and he's been surrounded by a ton of talent, have the leafs made all the right moves? No but he's had talented enough teams to at least have made a conference finals by now and part of it is his fault and right now you can't mention him with the greatest players of all time

@@tylerreigle6462 can't compare other sports. QB is more valuable than anything in hockey, basketball players can carry teams more than hockey, etc. The only comparable one is baseball

The desire to win is much greater for the Oilers than for the Leafs! When a team play the same game in season than in playoff, its weird and disappointing.

Talk out your arse some more guy😂

Unless he is drop kicking Draisaitl in the numbers I am sure Draisaitl isn’t too worried.

Lol

He's usually better on podcasts over being on live TV =(

You better check your vocabulary guy, using words that don’t apply at all trying to sound smart is amusing.

@@KkevrockK oh boo who 🤣 who the fuck cares what you think of what I think

@@KkevrockK I better? What are you gonna do? I said what I said, insane behavior he had towards the whole situation.

Wow why do Republicans gotta politicize everything. They love complaining!

Using "do" instead of "due" aside, this is some hot take... there is no way this series is a sweep.

Hard to notice stuff perfectly about the opposition team when you are watching hockey live. I find myself focusing only on my Oilers!

Much easier to do on TV with the announcers repeating names

What ever you have to tell yourself. It's McDavid world, Enjoy!!

and your fan base was planning a cup parade for making it to the second round last year. chumps.

​@@gurmansra3505your clown franchise should have been relocated 8 years ago.

@@WinterWoolies 🙄🙄🙄

And I can bet not a single panthers fan watched a oilers game this

😂 are you really going to try and throw shade to the most informed fan base in the league. Clown

The west games are on later. It’s the east that’s in bed when we play. We watch your games.

Take oilers start out of it and Oilers were Best team in the NHL Florida 2nd best team. Heck even before Knoblauch was coach take just the 1st 10 games off not 18 and Oilers were the best Panthers 2nd best. On paper these teams are very evenly matched oilers slightly better. In regular season and playoffs. Over the past 6 seasons both teams are 6-6. Oilers players have a long history with Tkachuck and Bennett. Perry knows Florida well from his time in Tampa. It's playoffs anything can happen but this is far closer match up than most people think.

I watched a lot of florida, dallas, NYR and avs games as I was excited for playoffs. Always watch the enemy. Ive watched every game in playoffs minus 3 games only 50%. Will miss hockey when its done :(

Skinner is mentally solid, have no doubt.

The oilers were in 31st place on November 15th.

Went from 31st to Stanley Cup finals while changing the entire playstyle on the way. You're mixing up overconfidence with hopefulness.

@hathatterhat not at all, there playing a panthers team that was literally here last year, and their better than they were last year. Oilers are about to get dickstomped.

And you aren't being overconfident. Oilers in 6.

@@schustererik83google their there and they’re

@@schustererik83it’s nice to see that Florida has a fan base. It’s weird thinking how 3 to 5 years ago they were struggling to get 7000 people in their arena. Typical bandwagon fan. Best of luck with the double mourn.

We are witnessing this 🇨🇦😄🔥🇺🇸😁

Will live or die 😂for this😁✔🇨🇦🔥

just because leaf's asses were pounded by the cats doesn't mean it applies to the oilers. Oilers are on a different level than the leafs.

@@gurmansra3505🙄🙄🙄

That’s not how it works

Edmonton was Vegas's toughest opponent last year. Not Florida. Vegas destroyed Florida. They squeaked by edmonton. Think about it. Look it up. No can stop edmonton's top 5. Not even barkov. Tkachuk is good but edmonton has always been better against him. Why do you think he bailed to the eastern conference. Getting away from McDavid.

​@wadekevin2074 Totally agree. Tkachuk and Bennet are no strangers to the Oilers in every BOA back in their days with the Flames, and the Oil like, Kassian and Kane were always ready to make them paid for their rat-tactics.
