How did the Oilers hold serve on home ice and force a tie after Game 4?
How are you?
Good. How could you not be after a couple of games there on home ice like that? Certainly in that fashion last night. My goodness.
Yeah, it was a blast. Um, let's get to uh today's top story, which is brought to you by Legacy Heating and Cooling, home of no payments and no interest for one year. That is how you build a legacy, legacy heating and cooling. What are we focusing in in on today?
I think simply the fact that the series is tied up to two when a lot of people at two oh thought that there was no way it was going to get back to this point. And yet the Oilers on home ice hold serve just like they were expected to and um bada boom bada bing, you're heading back to LA with uh a saw off and an even series, uh
I I love the fact that there's a tennis term that's worked its way into hockey, hold serve, which is a very accurate way of describing winning on home ice. The other one for me is draw weight, which is from curling. Uh you know, when guys are trying to ice the puck, but just not quite enough to get over the line, so that's kind of fun. But it was uh it was uh total blast last night. However, there had to have been a few nervous nellis At the game through the opening 35 minutes because the Los Angeles Kings completely smothered the Edmonton Oilers, could not get anything going. Oilers tried to keep, you know, keep throwing it up the wall, that kind of thing, but LA shut it down. And the Oilers are the team that actually ground down the LA Kings by the time they got to the third period.
Yeah, it was interesting watching LA bounce in and out of that uh four check, which is sometimes not a four check at all. They'll just sit back and let you wait around and come out on your own leisure. And you know, Edmonton is over time they they find a way to get through that and they did plod their way through that third period in particular. But you're right, Brain, you you looked up at the clock at I don't know, eleven minutes into the second
