NHL Finals podcast with Len Shapiro:
#1 The Edmonton Oilers had too many slow starts and not enough goaltending support from Stuart Skinner allowing three goals in the 5-1 loss.
#2 Tough way to go down losing their second consecutive NHL Stanley Cup Final. The Panthers repeat and were tough customers in game 3 winning 6-1, game 5 winning 5-2, and the Panthers winning it all in game 6.
#3 The Oilers got the heartbreaker losing in Game seven 2-1 last season after coming back from winning three straight games after being down 3-0. This season’s final the Panthers took the last three out of four games to repeat as champions.
#4 The star for game 6 was the Panthers Sam Reinhart who completed a hat trick with two empty net goals. Reinhart finished with four goals to pretty much cinch it for the Panthers.
#5 Talk about the Oilers offense or lack of they didn’t get any scoring support. Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid were empty handed with no goals. The only goal the Oilers got was from Vasily Podkolzin in the third period avoiding a shutout.
