Pierre LeBrun

Here is Pierre Lebrun.

All right, joined here by TSN and the athletics, Pierre Lebrun.

Pierre, thank you so, so much for joining us on Oilers Now.

You're up in Montreal, and I hear the series has been pretty good over there.

Good to hear.

Obviously, you talked about the physicality in this series.

How has that kind of resulted in the way that these games have played out so far?

Yeah, and now taking it back to their own building, and like you mentioned, Pierre, you think about how young this Montreal Canadiens core is, and it feels like, you know, win or loss in this series, going up against a team like the Tampa Bay Lightning, who have a bunch of guys who have won Stanley Cups, it's going to be great for their development moving forward.

How do you feel the goaltending has played a factor in this series so far?

I mean, both games have gone to overtime, and once you get into that extra frame, you need your goaltender to make one or two saves that he probably shouldn't.

Now, the score of the first game, 4-3, and the next one, 3-2.

How do you feel the goaltenders have competed in this series so far?

Well, I know you're out on the East Coast, so you might not be able to catch very much, but have you been able to watch any of Edmonton-Anaheim, and what's your take on that series so far?

Yeah, and then you think about the other superstar in Edmonton right now, Leon Dreisaitl.

I mean, he missed the last 14 games this season, and he's got four points in two playoff games.

he's been invaluable to this Oilers group.

And him on that line with Vasily Podkolzin and Kasperi Kapanen, it seems like they found a pretty solid click there.

Would you agree?

Yeah, for sure.

I want to shift focus to league-wide now.
