Transcripts

Craig the 15 game win streak has been

amazing but it's not just this run since

Chris noblock took over behind the bench

the ERS have won 25 of 31 games has

McDavid gone from a non-playoff team to

his best shot at a Stanley Cup in a span

of just two

months I don't think there's any

question about that and you know the way

the season started even at 512 and one

you know the playoffs look like a long

shot but when you get on the heater that

the Edmonton Oilers find themselves on

that's how you ride up in the standings

it's no longer about the playoffs and

making them and seeing what happens it's

about getting home ice in the first

round of the playoffs and being a

serious Contender for the Stanley Cup

and I see them as that I didn't see them

as that before uh under Jay Woodcraft

but under Chris noblock and Paul coffee

this is an excellent defensive team this

is a Team 13 straight games two or less

goals you look at all their

defensive just outstanding with respect

playing with defensive discipline with

defensive structure with defensive

commitment and with defensive

competitiveness that's what it takes to

win in the playoffs and this team has

clearly shown me that and on Wayne

Gretzky's birthday there's no better

person to refer to to him and he talked

about the team in Edmonton his teams

saying hey when we get to the playoffs

we're going to have to be a lot better I

can take some risks in the regular

season I can take some chances I can

hang high but come playoff time I got to

be committed to defense just like every

other player on our team well that's

what the Edmonton owners did and root to

winning those four Stanley Cups in five

years and that's where the Edmonton ERS

find themselves the way they play Under

Chris noblock it's been outstanding

there's every reason to believe that

this is Conor mcdavid's best chance to

compete for the Stanley Cup the only

trophy that's not in his trophy case

happy birthday number 99 all right so

you mentioned noblock behind the bench

McDavid 22 points in the 15 game streak

he at 11 goals over that stretch Skinner

the best GA in save percentage since

they last lost who deserves the most

credit for the Oilers

turnaround Chris noblock there's no

question who deserves the most credit he

came in and instilled a plan of

defensive commitment and it's one thing

to instill a plan but the players have

executed on it and we can talk about

their start and then the coaching change

and having the tense between the

shoulder blades but the bottom line is

when you watch them play offense was

never a problem for the Edmonton Oilers

even when they weren't scoring the

process was outstanding defensive play

was a massive issue and what Chris

noblock and Paul cofy have done is

they've come in and emphasized listen

don't worry about the offense we don't

have to chase offense that will be there

because we have a lot of offensive

offensively gifted players now let's

commit the defense I watch the Edmonton

ERS now they squee these teams

defensively they don't create

vulnerabilities they were a team that

gave up Rush chance after rush chance

turnover after turnover and it exposed

their goal tending they don't do that

anymore and that has allowed Stuart

Skinner to emerge and get back to the

level we've seen them in the past and

that's what's allowed the Edmonton

Oilers to be a top team and 23 and3 in

their last 26 games a lot of people out

there saying I knew this is going to

happen well had you bet 20 bucks on

FanDuel the Oilers were going to beat

the on the night the streak began back

on December 21st and if you kept letting

it ride during that streak that 20 bucks

would now be worth over

$8,700
