Soups on Hockey

2nd straight year of being so close, yet so far away. This time there is no doubt, the Panthers were the better team. Shockingly to me, but they were. The Oilers group still haven't figured out that they need to find a killer instinct, and they need to figure out how to truly dig in when things aren't going their way. This podcast is mostly about what I believe the Oilers need to do this off-season. Now more than ever they need a very shrewd summer and fix every leak possible if they want any shot at winning the Cup the next few seasons.

This is the best shot at this that the Edmonton Oilers are going to have for a few seasons, and they're blowing it. Can they "drag 'em back to 'Berta" one more time? Can they overcome a 3-2 series deficit for the 3rd time in 4 years?

Apparently I'm only doing these if the Oilers win? What a schmuck homer I am!! But they somehow did get out of Sunrise with a split and now it's a best of 3 for the Cup, once again with home ice advantage.

Oilers win 4-3 in OT, my thoughts. Riveting stuff I tells ya...

It's the playoffs, and in the playoffs you sometimes have to battle sickness as I did during this show. Not my best work, but you get my thoughts on the Stanley Cup Final rematch and I waste very little time getting into why I don't think this is going to be a very close series this time around.

Obviously I could not start this podcast without talking about the Leafs, and went a TAD overboard with it. 40 minutes or so worth of ranting about how sick of this situation I am. Plus I talk Mark Scheifele and the Jets, and preview the Conference finals matchups.

F**K VEGAS! Not too short of a shift, which has seemingly become the norm! But plenty of Oilers talk, a brief look at the rest of the playoffs, and a very brief look at my buddy Ken Holland to the Kings.

It’s exactly what it says. Obviously hit on the 2 game 7’s over the weekend, both of which were amazing!

The Hockey world is in a state of utter shock that an average team that only ever has results in the regular season continues to be the same team despite nominal/non needle moving changes. In this podcast, I get to the bottom of what possibly could be going on here, and there is no earthly way that fans and media would lack THAT much intelligence...

Wild 21 minutes after a boring as hell 39 minutes. Did we learn anything?
