What are the expectations for the Oilers in Game 6?
hey it's bob stoffer i just wanted to let you know that you can listen to oilers now ad free on amazon music included with prime is 434 in oil country west texas on the ashley five not west texas west texas on the ashley five forest text line bob big one tonight no matter how it goes the team has proven their top five squad in the league says west back to back cup final appearances, isn't all luck. It's a legit contender. Obviously we all want game seven, but even if it ends tonight, there's a lot to be proud of with a bit more consistency in that I'm confident they'll come back even stronger next year that comes to us from Wes. Well, I don't think everybody would agree that this year they've been a top five team.
They've been a middle of the road team. Bob Helix is coming to town. We can party with Miss Rock Fantasy 1983 and spend her pension check. I have no idea what you're talking about. From Jason from San Guto. I don't really understand that text. Yeah. Jason, you're often a funny guy. This text comes over. They could not afford to have Bouchard on Team Canada. Do you not see how many turnovers he makes? Why are you so blind to this? You sit in the press box every game and you watch him. You see, this Texter neglects to realize that you have a bias because the guy's got the puck more than any other defense, and he was not good early in the series. But make no mistake, he is a special defender, and he knows how to get Conor McDavid the puck when it matters.

Do or die for the Edmonton Oilers. Let's go to the Oilers Now Audio Vault for Direct Workwear.

And we're going to start with Chris Knobloch, Oilers Head Coach, on the Oilers' past experience, maybe easing the pressure a bit.
pressure game that it is a elimination game but we've been in these before and games that are even more high pressure and you know the calm and easiness of our players is pretty remarkable that it's just as if it's another game obviously it's not there's a lot riding on it but you know there's a lot of confidence they feel good and they know what they have to do
All right, now the Oilers loaded up Conor McDavid and Leon Dreissel at home where they can control matchups with last change a little bit more. And Chris Knobloch, Oilers head coach, was asked about breaking up 29-97 given the strength. of the play specifically of Dreistadl in between Putkolsen and Kapanen.
I think we'll be mixing up the lines, but I think we can play them together. There'll be times where they are together, but obviously we have to be a little more cognizant of their top line. Just when they're out there, making sure that we've got the next shift ready for that counter-strike.
There you go. And one of the keys for Edmonton is stay out of the penalty box because Anaheim's power play is 8 for 16 in this series.
I think it's important that everyone knows that the stakes of the game and how important it is. It's a little bit different about the middle of the season. You've got a huge lead, but obviously staying out of the penalty box, just because we've seen it in that series, that it can change the projection of the way the game is going.
Jack Roslevic, meanwhile, has yet to score in the playoffs. He's got one assist. He is even in five games, has 18 points in 50 games in the playoffs in his career, but just three goals. He is a pending UFA. He's had multiple 20-goal seasons. Give these thoughts on the calmness of the Oilers right now.
I'm new to the team as of this year, but you've seen it in the last two Stanley Cups games.
