Who Should Play With McDavid? - Playoffs Are Insane

Luke Gazdic joined the show as the 'Pro Am Sports Big Guest of the Day.' He broke down last night's game saying that the Canucks were over-respecting the Edmonton Oilers and that the Canucks progressed throughout the game to shut down McDavid and the rest of their top players. Gaz then took a look at Stuart Skinner and his poor start in game one. He said that some of the goals against Skinner weren't completely his fault besides Connor Garland. Gazdic brought up the fact that teams aren't going to win if they let in 5 goals.
After having Mattias Janmark on the top line, Gazdic thinks that the Oilers should have Foegele on the third line, Holloway on the first line and keep Janmark as a depth player. Luke Gazdic thinks the third line wasn't the best and that Holloway is one of the only players on the Oilers who can match McDavid's speed.
After wrapping up with the Oilers, Gaz shared his thoughts on the Florida Panthers and Boston Bruins series. Tons of hits in that game and he highlighted the physicality and playstyle of the Panthers. They shoot, finish checks and play a different brand of hockey. Gaz thinks the Panthers will take the series.
He then moved on to the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche series saying that this next game is a huge one for the Stars. Gaz didn't make a specific pick but he thinks that the Avalanche are insanely quick and only getting better.
He finished up by sharing his enjoyment of being on Sportsnet and how it doesn't feel like a job.

they didn't stop driving, they were stopped.

How many times does Vinny stand directly in front of the goalie then PUSS right out when the puck comes at him, screening goalie and causing goal? I've seen it minimum 3 times this year. Block the shot, lurch

[@Ace96x10]

Remember that outshot 13-34 LA win that the fans called "Mature" a week ago? I said it was turds covered by the air freshener of a lucky win. I also said if they try that VS any top team they will get buried fast and harsh. TA DA! Oiles played like superstars for 19 mins, and then when right back to being outworked and out thought and thinking they can just insist on Skinner being the best goaltender of all time and play like garbage and still win in a "mature" way. What Bullshet. Get to work or watch someone else hoist the cup in 3 weeks.

"It's just one Game....No... that's 5-0

[@ryanaines6617]

It didn’t happen fast. It happened over a period and a half

[@Ace96x10]

Right. it happened over 41 mins. Tons of time to fix it. I wanted knob to call a time out at 4-2. Janmark top line?? Knob needs to re evaluate.
