Back with Frankie curado and Brian Hayes to talk about the roller coaster ride of the Edmonton Oilers in 2324 what an ugly start to the season 39 and one that roller coaster is not going anywhere maybe even down they fire their head coach they send their golender Jack
Campbell to the miners after the coaching change things start to improve and that coaster is starting to take a ride and to the point of 16 straight wins one off the NHL record so now we’re going to ask Brian and then Frankie to chime in on this how high does that
Roller coaster go before it takes a turn and starts going down again they beat Vegas they tie the record they beat the Anaheim Ducks they set a new record and then game 19 it comes to an end they lose to the LA Kings start that roller coaster again because they’re going to
Keep going and eventually win 20 games in a row and they’re going to lose the 21st game to the St Louis Blues a team that’s been playing really well but Rod that roller coaster is not going down the way it did at the start of the season I don’t expect the Edmonton
Oilers to be a roller coaster team the rest of the way well it’s really been just down and then straight up again and yeah we’ll see how high it goes that’s for the regular season though then there’s the whole matter of the roller coaster ride which is obviously a much
Shorter one in the Stanley Cup playoffs and Edmonton knows all about that so playoff time and I’m assuming the expectations will be higher how high does that roller coaster go let’s ride this one together Harry and Lloyd me and you Frankie we’re going up first round first round keep it going keep second
Round keep it going all Conference Finals keep it going wow all right let’s stop the roller coaster in the Stanley Cup finals what do you like the Edmonton Oilers have something going here they look different than they have in the past better defensively the goal tending position has been stabilized and their
Best players have really bought into playing a certain brand of hockey I expect them to have a lot of success in the playoffs and I wouldn’t be surprised if they got to the Stanley fin I totally agree we’re riding this roller coaster together man they’re all the way to a
Cup final I love the way they’ve been playing recently I don’t think they stumble anymore I think they’re very active at the trade deadline as well it’s long overdue we got to get another Canadian team at least in the Cup Final and I think the Edmonton or s have the
Best chance of doing that and at some point Conor McDavid is going to win a cup like I just do not buy the fact that Conor McDavid is going to go through his whole career and not win a Stanley Cup it has to happen at some point he’s in
The prime of his career with a really good group around him it it just it just has to happen to happen exactly it’s been a story book since this guy walked into the league he is one of the true faces of the league in their history we’re talking Sid we’re talking Mario
We’re talking Gretzky that’s the category he’s in they all have cups mcdavid’s got to get one I think he’s got a great chance at it this year is this finally the thrilling ride for Conor McDavid in the NHL’s amusement park and I’m going to keep this Motif
Going as long as I can except for one thing if you win the Stanley Cup and the roller coaster is right at the top how do you get down they’ll figure that out they’re not too worried about it in Edon believe me Rod Brian Hayes Frankie gr thanks guys
