  1. If the Oilers can pull this off and i hope they do , I hope Hyman, Brown, Kapenen, and Pickard will be kind enough to bring the Cup to Toronto on the day they get with the cup..After all how will the cup ever make it to Toronto if ex Leafs who go and win it with real teams don't come back and share…

  2. side note on the breakdown, enthusiastic about the Oil's chances here to bring it home… Bouchard has those flash in the pan moments that can make the difference, and yet on the flip side he sometimes has those brain farts and coughs up the puck in the danger zones…these could be the psychology teaching moments that would be valuable for all the D man grinding it out

  3. Predictions
    Game 1 oilers
    Game 2 panthers or oilers
    3 panthers or oilers
    4 panthers or oilers 🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥panthers or oilers is winning the Stanley cup !!!

  4. Bro Facebook is riddled with Panthers fans explaining with mental gymnastics on how they "Let" the oilers win. 😂
    It's a bold strategy cotten, let's see if it pays off for them. Again, your videos are unmatched 👊🔥🛢

  5. Bennett is easily EDM's worst threat rn; just like last year, stick to using the Cats' D force against them, split em apart and dump & chase, using reverse trap tactics. Perfect game 1.

  6. Love💙🧡🤍 Yer Channel! OT Was The BEST💪 Ever!
    The 2 Best Gettin' At It! Game#2 OILERS Will Be Winning 😛At Home!
    It Will Be Eh 'Real' BANGER!!!
    OIL Country In 5!!! 🏆Comin' Soon!

  7. What a game! I appreciated @hockeypsychology's take on Skinner's puck playing at the end of the video. It was the big factor to his game that I have noticed since his return after the injury to Pickard. I honestly think he was watching Pickard play those games against LA and Vegas, and decided it was something he really need to step up and do. That puck playing, and even stick playing in general is such a valuable skill, especially in this year's playoffs. Pretty much every single team the Oilers have played in this playoff, at one point or another has gone for dump and chase or hard rims off the blue line. They do it because its super effective, and Florida are the best at that style of play. In game 1 of the Vegas series, Pickard frustrated them immensely with not only his ability to pick up the puck off the boards quickly and chip it out of danger, but he was also a deadly threat on his ability to move the puck up ice to his forwards. Skinner has been going to get those pucks, and its only a matter of time before we start seeing him moving that puck up ice like a boss. Bobrovsky deserves a shout out for that long lead pass he sent up the ice in Game 1, not to mention his ability to check pucks in tight with his stick, he's truly spectacular. Can't wait for game 2! Let's Go Oilers!

  8. I’ve watched your videos for many months. Love ‘em all. What’s your history? Credentials? Player (obviously)? Coach? If I have stack of videos in my feed including TSN, SN, whoever and yours is in there, I go to you first.

  9. classic case of florida getting a cheap shot on the goalie and getting a double benefit out of the dumb refs. doesn't matter though because florida is dookie

  10. Walman was Scott Sterling this game, the guy got cooked on like 3 notable occasions- I hope he’s good for next game.

  11. Don’t count out Florida they are still a huge threat to any team. Even if the Oilers win the next two I won’t count out Florida

  12. Skinner's composure was noticeable last night. Whenever he scrambled behind the net or things went sideways, he recovered well

  13. Life-long Oilers fan here. Walman laughing in Nosek's face is easily in my top 5 Oilers moments. It was so hilarious.

  14. This series is so much like the 2022 finals, the battle of styles is identical. Like 2022 when Tampa just couldn't skate with Colorado, i think Edmonton is going to skate Florida ragged

  15. Honestly, as an oilers fan, I can tell why Florida is in the cup. Tremendous forechecking. They are always attacking to prevent the oilers from setting up. They are excellent at poke checking when the oilers attempt to bring it across the blue line. It almost reminds me of Colorado when the oilers lost to them in the western final. I'm glad the oilers won but if, and hopefully they win the cup it will be well deserved as Florida is strong….plus even if they outplay Florida, they need to outplay Bobrovsky. He can steal games which he did last year. Honestly, I believe the oilers would have won if Florida never had him.

  16. Never watched this channel but obviously you are an Oilers fan. For my more seasoned hockey folk wouldn't taking the body before the puck on the first goal be interference? Or is that just a good hockey play?

  17. @hockeypsycology, your comment at 3:04 about Bennet and Sean Michaels, is that to reference Stoli and that play? And "Bennet is dirty" narritive? I wish you would do a breakdown on it then. His elbow never touched Stoli. That's what Stoli said at least. Also that's what the reverse angle proved. I wish you would clear that up for everyone. Almost every single time this man gets accused of a dirty play it turns out to be not true it looks like to me. I used to be a Benny hater, but now a defender bc I don't think true. From the Marchand hit last year, all the ones this year(I haven't gone deeper than that tbh but i will) he looks innocent imo. Check it out in the off season seriously w/o bias if you can. Check out player interviews and video and so on. He's definitely a good guy (Benny's buddies+ and more) I really wish you would w/o bias show us of it's true or not bc I'm very skeptical unlike most bc I can't find any real evidence to back up that's he's actually a dirty player and out there to injure other players. Ty tho. Your videos are the best on YouTube imo.

  18. BLATANT FAVORITISM !!! LOOK at an OILER, GET PENALIZED !!! OF COURSE YOU WILL WIN, WHEN YOU HAVE the REFS IN YOUR BACK POCKET and their ALL PAID OFF !!! EVERYTIME I RE-ENTERED the ROOM, OILERS WERE ON a POWER PLAY !!! REFS CALLING PENALTIES IN OVERTIME, OTHER than a BLATANT CUT TO FACE. IS 100% B/S !!! GOOD REFS WILL LET the PLAYERS DECIDE the OUTCOME of the GAME ! NOT the REF DECIDING the OUTCOME ! BLO ODY TRAGEDY , WHAT these REFS are DOING to the GAME of HOCKEY !!!
