00:03 Again, the odds makers entering this series expected it to be quick and
00:07 relatively easy for the Oilers.
00:09 It's been anything but.
00:10 Vancouver, a 2-1 series lead, entering game number four tonight.
00:15 But the odds makers favor the Oilers once again,
00:18 close to a $2 favorite price on that money line.
00:21 Does Edmonton draw even in game four tonight?
00:24 This is the one series where honestly, like, I don't have a read on what's
00:29 going on because I feel like the Oilers were really set up.
00:32 They had their best first round series I've seen in the past couple of
00:35 postseasons where they looked really dominant against LA for the first time
00:38 in a while.
00:39 And then Vancouver is having a lot of bad injury luck this postseason as well
00:42 with key pieces like Thatcher Demko being injured and they're still able to
00:46 rally against a very, very strong Edmonton team.
00:49 You wonder if it's the same old story with the Oilers every single year where
00:52 their core is just not able to make up for the deficiencies in their back end
00:56 and their goal tending.
00:57 And that's kind of what I've been seeing right now.
00:59 There's still close games, right?
01:00 There's a couple of one goal differential games in this series as well.
01:03 So it could have honestly gone either way.
01:06 But with the team that Vancouver has, Edmonton really had the opportunity to
01:10 prove a point and they just haven't.
01:12 So they need to tie up this series.
01:14 If Vancouver gets a 3-1 lead, the Oilers are going to be so deflated.
01:17 I don't know if they can come back from that.
