McDavid primed for a Game 3 rebound

TSN Hockey reporter Ryan Rishaug and TSN Hockey Insider Chris Johnston joins 7-Eleven That's Hockey to preview a must-win Game 3 for the Edmonton Oilers as the series shifts to Alberta's capital city. They also discuss how Connor McDavid is poised to have a big night tomorrow.

florida is a well rounded team and I cant see the oilers doing much in front of their net. Oilers fan and really happy with where they went from bottom to hear. Just happy to be here.

Seems like some pretty excited Canadian media guys. Let's see what happens tomorrow night. Rangers and Tampa Bay power play both are as good as Edmonton. How did that work out?

[@myglobaldesignstudio]

Not sure what to say to that. Not saying they aren't great too, but if you think Rangers and Lightning PP are as good as Oilers you might want to watch a few more games. Current EDM PP is the best in NHL history, but EDM will need more that just a great PP if they want to win the series.

Lol PP just as good? Go look up how many PP records Oilers have broken last 3 yrs

[@747Cone]

You sure about that? Going in to this series Edmonton PP Exp Goals in the the playoffs is 14 goals/60 mins. #2 team is at 10 goals/60 mins. If we expand to regular season, the #32 team is at 7 goals/60 mins. Similar discrepancy in actual goals by the way. Oilers PP is on another level compared to any other team, including Rangers and Tampa. So you saying those two teams are just as good as Edmonton's PP is just wrong.

[@JAMTOAM]

Corry perry is underrated game 1 he was in front of net doing his thing allmost got a goal on a reboud he has experience and he also would like another cup before leaving the nhl we need to push forward and also close gaps on thoes counter from florida complete some more body checks put them in there place and we need the fans to cheer tonight and give me a boost of momentum and confidence lets go oilers canada needs this stanleycup after 30 years of 😢 Lets go oilers lets atlest show them why we in the final and why we also deserve the chance to raise this cup mcdavid used more a distraction on the power plays

[@I_amTurok]

I’m all for stretching the rules, but a rear naked choke might be a tad over the line 😂 Florida won’t get away with that cheeky stuff in Edmonton. Our fans are going to be all over them.
