About this listen

Collin and Merrick break down the highs and lows of Games 3 and 4 in Florida.
Game 3 was a disaster for the Oilers—a blowout loss fueled by costly mistakes and mental lapses. The frustration boiled over late, with tempers flaring, multiple ejections, and some questionable decisions on both sides.
Collin didn’t hold back, calling the Oilers' performance embarrassing. Merrick, on the other hand, saw a silver lining in the chaos—appreciating the team's fiery (if messy) pushback.

If you thought the Oilers’ late-game fire in Game 3 would carry into Game 4 — think again.
Instead, more bad penalties and sloppy play landed them in a 3-0 hole, with Skinner getting the hook early. But everything changed at intermission. Collin and Merrick break down what may have sparked the second-period comeback — was it a Corey Perry speech? A gut-check moment? Whatever it was, the Oilers roared back, capped by Draisaitl’s record-breaking fourth OT winner of the postseason.
