00:00 It is the Oilers taking on the Canucks where Edmonton DRS is booked as a

00:07 Rhode Ise favorite minus 162 on the money line total for game seven tonight

00:13 is five and a half it has been a wild series the Oilers were supposed to be

00:19 dominant supposed to win this series easily over Vancouver to get to the

00:24 Western Conference Finals in fact the Oilers entered this second round as the

00:28 favorites to win Lords Families Cup as a Canadian team it's been anything but

00:33 easy except maybe in game number six where Edmonton won at home 5 to 1 over

00:39 Vancouver on Saturday night Edmonton has been booked as a favorite in every game

00:44 even here in the game number seven winner-take-all scenario the Rhode Ise

00:48 team minus 162 on the money line again it shows the oddsmakers belief in the

00:54 Oilers it's pretty incredible too because sometimes you take a look at the

00:58 Eastern Conference and we're learning similarities we're talking about the

01:00 Rangers in the Carolina Hurricanes was like whoa hold on now how's Carolina the

01:04 favorite on the road even though the Rangers are homeless advantage and also

01:07 the better record over the regular season you're getting sort of that same

01:10 thing here as the Oilers and the Canucks all the way through we saw the series

01:13 opener it's like hold on did the Oilers have homeless advantage no they don't

01:17 now we're seeing in the end all be all game number seven where you want it in

01:21 your own building and the Canucks have it in their own building but yet they're

01:24 a monster underdog it feels like priced correctly I mean at 130 to 135 isn't a

01:29 lot but when you flip it over to the other side Edmonton that - 165 ish range

01:32 that tells you a lot about this and Connor McDavid really woke up on

01:35 Saturday night and I came getting multiple points we'll see if that relays

01:39 over all you're asking for for Edmonton is get a decent effort out of your goalie

01:43 and you should advance into the next round and you know me this is my B team

01:47 out there on the west coast here I'm rooting for Edmonton because I enjoyed

01:50 the way they play hockey with a lot of really skilled players we'll see who

01:53 wins this game tonight between the Oilers and Canucks I would be surprised

01:56 if it wasn't Edmonton.

01:59 (upbeat music)
