Summary
The series is tied, and the vibe has officially shifted. After a frustrating 6-4 loss to the Anaheim Ducks at Rogers Place, the Edmonton Oilers are heading to California with more questions than answers. On today's edition of 2 Guys & A Goalie, the boys pull no punches as they break down a night to forget... Game 2 Breakdown: How did a 1-1 game turn into a 6-4 loss? We look at the defensive breakdowns and the special teams disaster that cost the Oilers a chance at a 2-0 lead. The McDavid Mystery: Connor McDavid has been held without a point through the first two games of the playoffs. Is he battling an undisclosed injury after that Game 2 collision, or have the Ducks found the "blueprint" to shut down #97? Power Play Paralysis: The NHL's best power play went 0-for-4 and gave up a shorthanded goal in Game 2. What needs to change in the setup to regain that historic chemistry? Goaltending Heat: Connor Ingram has been the backbone, but is the workload starting to show? We look at the goals against and discuss if the Oilers need a different look between the pipes for Game 3. NHL Scoreboard: We take a lap around the league to recap the Flyers pushing the Penguins to the brink and the Stars clawing back into their series with the Wild. 2 Guys & a Goalie is presented by GS Construction!
