Shawn Belle, former Oiler and EST’s very own hockey analyst, stops by to preview Game 5 with Reid Wilkins and Jay Milne. What has been his biggest takeaway from this series from an Oilers perspective? How have the Ducks held back the Oilers in their matchup? Is it surprising to see the Oilers playing this way, or is this something they’ve been fighting all season long? What’s the day-in-the-life of a player who’s a game-time decision?
We then visit the locker room to hear from a few members of the Oilers’ crew. Who spoke today? What did HC Kris Knoblauch say to the media ahead of puck drop? Reid and Jay note the most important answers, sharing their thoughts on what was said this morning… Do we assume Connor McDavid and Jason Dickinson will play because their team is on the brink of elimination?
The conversation continues in the final segment of the hour as the boys dive deeper into the Oilers’ comments. How much are injuries affecting this club? How do they craft a winning formula against the Ducks? Is it too little too late for the Orange and Blue? Where should their improvement start?
