Zone exit, season 5 | Episode 62: the presence of the Oilers in the final, a surprise?

0

The Edmonton Oilers find themselves in the Stanley Cup final after eliminating the Dallas Stars. Should we call it a surprise? Maybe a little, especially for the experts who had suggested that the Stars were going to “trample” the Oilers… Connor McDavid finally finds himself in the final, where he will have the opportunity to win a ring, which is important, or not, for a player’s legacy.


We also analyze this upcoming final between the Florida Panthers and the Oilers, while wondering who will be listening in the event of a seventh game in the middle of Saint-Jean-Baptiste. Then, we talk about Owen Beck and what’s to come for him, while looking back at Jean-François Houle’s return to Laval.

Animation: Jérémie Rainville
Guests: Richard Labbé, Simon-Olivier Lorange, Antoine Roussel

I think that without a shadow of a doubt, [Connor McDavid] is the best player in the National League, whether he won the Cup or not. I think he’ll win it one day.

I prefer the Panthers’ lineup, I find that there are players who can make a difference everywhere in the lineup, and I can’t wait to see the McDavid-Barkov duel.

The National Hockey League, in its television ratings, is a league that remains very regional. Residents of the cities concerned will watch the matches, but in New York for example, no one will watch the final.
