Bob had to get off the air and get to the rink as the Edmonton Oilers gear up for game six of their first round series with the Anaheim Ducks. Down 3-2, picking up a big win in game five, but you know, they were in a 3-1 series deficit. They're going to have to find a way to pull themselves out of this. Bob had a conversation with Louis DeBrusque and we'll get into it in a second, but first, Royal Pizza. Pick up the new spicy vegetarian pizza only for a limited time.

GCL Diesel, Diesel Understood. Here is the conversation that Bob had with Oilers TV regional color analyst Louis DeBrusque. And so, game six tonight in Anaheim. Louis, it's been a unique series, an odd series at times. Lots of lead changes and maybe the Oilers in game five finally finding their game a bit. Yeah, I think they did. And I think especially the first period, it was the best period of the series for me, for Edmonton, because they got the next goal. They have had two goals in the period a couple of times where they've had a two-goal lead that's evaporated in this series. They've given up the lead six times, Anaheim three. Anytime you have a series where that many times the lead has been given up, it's going to be one of those series that both coaches probably want to pull their hair out because you're not defending well enough, you're not getting the goaltending you need, but there's certainly enough scoring, the two highest scoring teams in the playoffs going into game number five. And I think it's the same way now. The Anaheim Ducks have scored a lot of goals and Edmonton's starting to catch them. They're starting to find ways to create that momentum and sustain it for periods of time, which they did in the first period. That first period, they came out with their backs against the walls, facing elimination for the first time. That's the team that you expect to show themselves tonight in game number six because they've been there. They've been here before in recent years. They understand what they have to do to be successful. For Chris Knobloch, he said they sat back a little bit in the second and third period, but they did have the three goal lead to do that. And I think that's the only reason they did it because if it wasn't, they should know by now that that's not a recipe for success. Either team sitting back is not good in this series because both teams can score. We're joined right now by Louis DeBrusque for GCL Diesel. Cam and Lauren and the team at GCL Diesel. So Louis, one of the storylines in game five, again, the Oilers controlling, you know, having an opportunity to control a little bit of the matchup, was loading up Connor McDavid and Leon Dreisaitl on a line with Kasperi Kapanen. But it was really the play of Vasily Podkolzin along with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Zach Hyman that got the Oilers the jump early. Agree or disagree, Vasily Podkolzin has been Edmonton's best player in this series. Most consistent player by far. He really has. When you don't exactly what you're going to get from him, he really was starting to really come on down the stretch. You saw a little different intensity in his game. The confidence was boiling over and he's carried that right into the playoffs. Kasperi Kapanen too. It's been a little bit of an up and down year for Kapanen. Injuries have set him back at the start of the year. I thought he came in looking like he was flying. But credit to him every time he got back in the lineup. Bam, he was right back up to speed. There was only a few times where there was a little bit of a low stretch for him and he's carried it forward. That's why he got that elevation. I agree with you though, Bob. The Ryan Nugent-Hopkins line for me set the tone. They went out and they said, this is the way we're going to play. They scored the first goal and anytime that happens, it takes some pressure off the top line, which was loaded up for the first time in the series from the start of the game. And anytime that Chris Knobloch decides to do that and put Dreisaitl and McDavid together, it really does change the whole game plan of the opposition. And I think more than anything, that's what happened in game number 5. I think the Anaheim Ducks were looking at that going, oh, we better be aware of this. You're silly if you don't when those two guys get loaded up. And they did score a big goal as well. So you have to get everybody pulling on the rope, but no question having that top line loaded up gives them a really different look and a line that you know is looking to score when they're on the ice. We're joined right now by Louis DeBrusque. This is Oilers Now. Bob Stauffer with you. Louis' appearances are presented by GCL Diesel. I did like the fact that Edmonton got to it right away. You know, we were both in the building. I had a very bad feeling in overtime when the Ducks pointed as though the puck was in. We both know the officials were out of position to make the call. It's interesting. They were out of position to make the call on that and then came to a conclusion about a minute later. Contrast that with Leon Dreisaitl taking a hit from behind, you know, in game number 5 where both officials are right there to see Chris Kreider drive Leon Dreisaitl into the boards. I think those sort of things exasperate fan bases a bit. And broadcasters. And broadcasters. Yeah, definitely exasperates us too because we see it and it's clear as day and you wonder how that's not called against a four-time 50-goal scorer. Right. And again... I don't care who it is, but especially when it's an elite player who has his back to Kreider. He's a big guy, by the way. 6'3", 220 pounds. Yeah. Now, the good news is he didn't absolutely blow him up. Like, he didn't hit him full speed, but he hit him hard enough it could have been dangerous. It should have been at least a minor. I have never played or witnessed a league at any time that a hit from behind wasn't a bad hit. So, why wasn't it called? Craft Mac and Cheese is better than 90s hip-hop. We'll remind you of your childhood without making you feel incredibly old. Craft Mac and Cheese. Best. Thing. Ever. Pepsi Prebiotic Cola in original and cherry vanilla. That Pepsi taste you love with no artificial sweeteners and 3 grams of prebiotic fiber. Pepsi Prebiotic Cola. Unbelievably Pepsi. Right. And we don't even need to revisit why was... Like, the reality of the situation is the argument could be made in terms of the overtime goal that I just don't know how the league works. And once the officials make that call, it's going to be hard to prove if it's... And I just don't know why the play wasn't blown dead earlier since neither of them knew where the puck was. That's kind of the series, though, too. And listen, I'm not sticking up for the officials here. You know I've had my hot takes on officials over the years. But listen, I know they're trying to do the job. This is as fast a series as you're going to have and as scrambly a series as you're going to have. More goals scored in this series than any series in the league right now in the playoffs. There's a lot of stuff going on. It was just a bad viewpoint. You know, he's in a position. Jake Brink was the one that was in the corner of the official down low that eventually, I believe, made that call. I believe because he didn't make it on the ice. But here's the thing. It's an offensive zone play where he's trying to stay out of the way. The main objective of the officials is to obviously be in a position to call the game, but they need to make sure they're trying to stay out of the play as much as possible. So he's in the corner. He's thinking that could be rimmed around, which happens a lot. So he's far away from the net. They don't usually converge on the net until the puck gets there and it scrambles. I do believe, though, from the way it came in, he lost sight of it. We all lost sight of it. We had no idea where that puck was. And listen, they got the right call, in my opinion. With all my belief, that puck crossed the line. Anaheim should not have been taken away a goal because we couldn't see it. We couldn't definitively see it. It looked to me like it was over the line, and I think that was the right call. How they went about it maybe needs to be looked at. And that's why in the playoffs, these things happen. I'm sure they're going to have a long discussion about that in the next meetings they have. It's a huge call because if Edmonton, if the goal doesn't call, Do they override it? Do they override a no-goal call on that call? There's a part of me that thinks they still might have because they would have been able
