Why was Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final a turning point for the Oilers?
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.
Ooh, that was fun. Hey good afternoon everybody. Bryn Griffiths along with Cam Moon. It's the Road to the Cup. Mooner, how you doing? That one was just crazy. That was insane last night, but it was so necessary for the Edmonton Oilers to pick up that victory.
Yeah, no, they absolutely had to have it. And at 3-0 after 20, I wasn't overly optimistic at that point, to tell you the truth. I'm sure many Oiler fans weren't, but oh, unreal. To come back If they go on to be successful in this series, uh for years beyond this, years beyond this, people will be talking about that game.
I always love to ask everybody this. Do you believe in momentum from game to game? No. See now I'm one of those people. Rob Brown's one of those people. Most people that I know in the game of hockey say, Hey, each thing is in its little compartment, right? So you win the game and then you just gotta flush it whether you win or lose and get ready for the next one which is coming up tomorrow night. I don't know what to expect here, but I know one thing, it's gonna be a nut house.
Yeah, oh no for sure it will be. I sitting at two two and coming back a best of three with two of three in your own rink, of course it will be. It'll be a Saturday night, it'll have that Saturday night vibe to it. After you can look at a series after. And say, oh yeah, well that's where it turned. And you can say that. Sure. And then, you know, just looking at the results say, oh, they must have had the momentum. But I'm with you. From game to game, it starts anew, and the Oilers will have to go and get it in game five. It's not going to get handed to them. This is a very good Florida team. I and I yeah, I I think they'll be and they're an experienced team too. They've been through this stuff. So I the panel
Panthers will come come at the oilers hard, I think, on Saturday.
Hey, one last question on the oilers and then Aiden Gannam's gonna join us in a couple of moments, but The the invaluable experiences that are gained through the first year you get there, everybody says, Oh man, they learned a lot by getting to the Stanley Cup final last year, and as tough and as bitter as it was to lose in a seventh and deciding game to this particular team, I'm start I think I can actually see some of the things that they've learned.
Do momentum swings really affect game‑to‑game performance in a playoff series?
Th they are they're w far less emotional. They seem to have their stuff. Do you see the same sorts of things?
Oh y well for sure. How how would you not? You know, that's just you when you go through that, what you went through last season, you gain that you you're not going to be overwhelmed by being in the Stanley Cup final. You've been through it before. So it but so is Florida. So I this is, you know, the third in a row. But yeah, it's uh once you've been through it, i uh y you're not gonna get bombarded with experience that um you just didn't you didn't know about. So yeah, I I think knowing that helps a a a bunch.
Two expressions. Been there, done that. Yeah. And I never saw that coming. I never saw that coming. Always seems to be the first year and been there done that for year number two. Aiden Gannon also joining us here on the show produces this Road to the Cup on eight eighty Chad. How you doing today? Your thoughts on that game last night?
That was an absolutely insane game and I I'm not afraid to say it, that might have been my favorite game to watch as as a young boy who's grown up in Edmonton, Alberta. I mean that game had absolutely everything that you would want.
Did you just say that, by the way? Yeah. It's very nice. I love the way you said that. Are we ready to go and find out do we want to hear how it sounded from start to finish? You ready to do this? Let's do it. Yeah, let's do it. This is the recap.
Nearly 20,000 people packed into Emirate Bank Arena on a hot, muggy evening for Game 4, the Stanley Cup final from Sunrise, Florida, and we've got it for you. I'm Jack Michaels, along with Bob Stoffer.
