Position before Shane.
They lean on their big guys in these situations.
Well, they certainly do.
Experience so key, and you got two of the best players in the world in McDavid and Draisaitl.

And, and Silani loves his golf.
He’s got three holes in his backyard.
Do you know that?
I did not know that.
I’m not surprised you didn’t.
Here’s Carlson with a shot.
It’s on the right.
It scores.
It’s just, and I mean just, crossed the goal line.
Ryan Poehling will get credit, and the Ducks have the lead in game six.
One-nothing lead, something that hasn’t happened a lot as they’ve chased games.
From the boards to the point, one ricochet in the high slot, and it just barely gets over as Wes McCauley points that the puck gets across the goal line.
A double bounce.
I think it hit Poehling as he’s coming across the top of the crease.

Here’s the first deflection- There and there’s the second one, and it just crawls acro- Looked like Kapanen may have got a piece of it.
Still went wide.
McDavid ready for the reverse hit, but snapped the stick of Jacob Trouba.
Leo Carlsson able to skate away, and then get it back.
Kreider to the net, scores.
Chris Kreider in transition.
The Ducks have taken a two-nothing lead.
Chris Kreider, he’s 35 years old today, and this is a beautiful sequence entering the offensive zone by all three forwards.
It’s a little give right here by Carlson, right on the tape to the left-hander.
Kreider came into this one with only two helpers.

Well, he’s got his 11th goal in 17 game sixes now with that snipe.
Well, this is a strength of this Anaheim team, that speed, their ability on the rush to make plays quickly with passes.
Josh Simonski off the boards and in, and then that one’s not called a penalty as the players go crashing into the wall.
It was Ian Lauer who got wrapped up and brought down.
Dock with a shot, kicked out, poked in front.
They score.
Edmonton has gotten one back.
Weak side, kind of snuck in there.
Here was that hidden play that you talked about by, by Luzarr right there.
Dock brings it back to the point.
Dock then from the hash mark shoots it on net.

The rebound’s there, and there’s Murphy that slides in on the weak side and taps it on the back end.
They gotta control that rebound.
Oh, yeah.
That was a simple shot, but a great job by the Oilers fourth line.
You said it was Luzarr with a heavy play in- And- and then just crashed the net, and there’s the veteran Kreider- McTavish from the dot into the skates of Senneca.
All he can do is touch it out for Lacombe, reset things here.
McTavish, Lacombe, Gauthier, misfire, scores.
A friendly bounce for Kirill Gauthier.
It’s a three-goal drought for Anaheim.
The power play strikes again.
This unit is just as impressive as the Carlson-Carlsson unit, and the confidence moving the puck around.

There, backhand play by McTavish.
This pass was further from the defenseman, right on the tape to the guy that you want to shoot the puck, and that is Kirill Gauthier, and this is a huge break for him off Nerz’s stick.
And then they keep going all level.
You mentioned the movement they have up, up top.
Great play by Senneca to bump it up to start it off, and there’s that play.
Washy will take this face-off and win it cleanly.
He is a perfect eight and O in the dot.
But the puck turned over by Trouba, then sent to the front.
Save made, they score.
Oh, is it kicked in?
Zach Hyman has brought the Ducks, or brought the Oilers within one.

Original call on the ice is overturned.
We have no goal.
There’s a puck in.
Ross Olivia to the outside.
He’s cut off by Trouba.
Maybe the centering pass that was figured out by Leo Carlson.
Tell you what, Trouba caught him right in the railroad tracks there, didn’t he, Shane?
Yeah.
Here’s Carlson.
He’s got Terry.
Scores.
Troy Terry late in the period.
Anaheim by three.
A little flip out play, and it looked like Bouchard had it in control.
A little soft on his stick right there.
Carlson gets it to him.
Byhammer over to the right.
This one looked like it might’ve been, I don’t know, it looked like it might, didn’t go high, didn’t go low.

Just caught the goalie by surprise.
Now Connor Murphy rolls it out to the line.
Carlson, John Carlson, that is, put it towards the net.
Cut off and sent up ice for Leon Draisaitl.
Draisaitl backhand off the outside of the net.
They score.
It popped right out for Kasperi Kapanen, and he cuts into this Ducks lead early in the third.
Zone.
It, it doesn’t get in deep.
It got blocked, so credit the Oilers for that.
And then Draisaitl just, he just fires it at the short side.
Pass- Blocked by Leo Carlson.
Puck could not be cleared.
Try to keep it.
But then McDavid fanned on it.
Troy Terry sends it Wollman’s way, and it’s jammed out by Kreider.

Leo Carlson with an empty net.
Scores.
Up the ice it goes, and the Ducks go the other way.
Wollman can’t keep that one in after he kept the one previously, and an easy empty netter for Carlson.
There will be no wait for round two as they knock off the Oilers in six games.
