00:00It is game number four tomorrow night in Edmonton inside Rogers Place. The Oilers are booked
00:09as a very slight home favorite. If Edmonton is going to stave off elimination and force
00:15a fifth game back in sunrise, what needs to change tomorrow night?
00:21They just need to not make mistakes. They need to hunker down and play like the Florida
00:26Panthers style of hockey. They need to defend the Panthers well. They need to help out their
00:29goaltender here. He's not having a good series. Their defense really has to step up. Their
00:34two-way players have to step up because Florida's been the dominant team throughout this entire
00:39series and this entire Stanley Cup Final. It's just about not making mistakes, playing
00:44a clean game, and just getting some of these guys, Ryan Eugen Hopkins, Zach Hyman, Leon
00:48Dreisaitl, one of these guys to get something going for this team. One win will be a lot
00:52for the Edmonton Oilers. They really have to get one. On home ice, their fans deserve
00:57one win.
00:58If we put you on the spot, Ann, and you had one player to score a goal on Saturday night,
01:03which player would you choose?
01:05I'm going Zach Hyman. It's an easy, easy answer for you right there. He has been phenomenal
01:11this postseason. He's been phenomenal during the regular season. If the Edmonton Oilers
01:15play the style of hockey that got them to this point, Zach Hyman should be on the score
01:20sheet. Let's hope that happens.
