Marchese & Friedman: Oilers Top Line Shifts the Series

On today's Victoria Day edition, Matt Marchese welcomes in Elliotte Friedman to discuss how the Oilers' turned the Battle of Alberta in their favour, the effectiveness of loading up the top line, Connor McDavid's unworldly stretch of play and Evander Kane's resurgence with Edmonton (00:35). The pair then revisit Milan Lucic's collision with Mike Smith that led to a game misconduct, and shift their attention South as Tampa closed to within one game from the conference finals with Corey Perry still playing his brand of hockey (11:20). To wrap up, Matt and Elliotte look back on Rick Bowness' tenure with the Stars and ask what's next, before sharing their thoughts on Brian Rust & Mark Giordano's new deals (21:34).
