NHL Stanley Cup Finals podcast Len Shapiro:

#1 The Edmonton Oilers in game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals saw Leon Draisaitl score a goal with a minute into the the game. The Oilers got a tying goal when Connor McDavid executed a perfect pass Draisaitl.

#2 Len, this game almost went into a second overtime but McDavid’s pass to Draisaitl got the winning goal. This combination has been key to the Oilers getting this far.

#3 Draisaitl was not able to score a goal in the finals last season but wants to make up for lost scoring. The Oilers also lost the first three games of the series to the Panthers and won the next three to tie up the series but couldn’t close out the 7th game for a loss.

#4 The two potential Hall of Famers McDavid and Draisaitl what this finals means to them if they can win this series. What they haven’t done is win the Stanley Cup and McDavid and . It would be the first franchise title in 35 years.

#5 Game 2 slated for Friday night in Edmonton. If the Oilers can come away with the win they will have 2-0 momentum going into game 3 in Florida. If the Panthers were to win game 2 it’s 1-1 going to Florida and that could shift momentum in Florida’s way.
