00:00and we'll be right back.
00:05When do you ever George see a game seven in the Stanley Cup
00:07finals with the team playing at home? Maybe even as an
00:11underdog. I'm going to tell you, I'm going to bet this that's
00:14never happened in hockey history where if Edmonton ends
00:17up being favored in this game, which is possible. It certainly
00:21is possible and I think it's probably going to win it at
00:24this point. We're talking something now. It nobody comes
00:29It just doesn't happen. I think it's four and 218. All right,
00:33so it's almost 1% of the time here. It has not happened in
00:35the in the final since 1942. All right now is Cam Stewart's
00:40Toronto Maple Leafs who came back. Ironically, the Maples
00:43can't do anything in the playoffs now, but they came back
00:4582 years ago to do this. It's probably not fair to Florida
00:52to say, oh you're choking here. Everything's been hot as
00:55all hell. McDavid's gone bananas, right? He's not quite
00:59I don't think he's going to set the record. I don't see him
01:00getting six points on Monday night. I'm sure all the fans
01:03hope he does. That means they would win the cup there, but
01:05he's had a record-setting playoffs. He'll win the MVP
01:08whether or not they win the cup, but he's been hot. They've
01:12got nothing completely on dry style. I got about three points
01:15in the series, which is amazing. It's all but McDavid even
01:17though he had zero points last night. What does that tell you?
01:19They won without him last night. He didn't do much. Skinner's
01:22been fantastic. If there are questionable top two, top three
01:25games here, but his history in the playoffs, granted it's a
01:28small sample size, is he's a money goaltender. It's games
01:31four to seven where he steps up. So they've got that going
01:34for them. Nothing's going right for Florida. I just wonder this,
01:37Craig, have they run out of gas? I think we saw that with the
01:41Dallas Stars last round where they just ran out of gas. And
01:44I do wonder the same thing for the Florida Panthers. They do
01:46play that physical style. They did go to the Stanley Cup last
01:49year, so they had less rest than all these other teams here.
01:52I just wonder, Craig, have they run out of gas here? I'll be
01:56on Edmonton Monday night. I mean, they're hot. They're
01:59winning and the games aren't all that. I have a ticket. I have
02:03a ticket for Florida. I have a ticket for Florida and six, a
02:05ticket for Florida and seven. I'm not doubling down right
02:07now. So yes, I'm going to be hedging my bets here. So yeah,
02:11give me give me Edmonton. Probably the over two. Last
02:14three fun games have gone over and over.
02:16Yeah, I know. 5-1.
