Matthew Tkachuk makes a stunning statement on the Oilers after Game 1

In case you missed it last night, the Edmonton Oilers earned a Game 1 overtime victory over the Florida Panthers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final.

It was an outstanding game, packed with action from the very beginning. Both teams firing on all cylinders and hockey teams were treated to some fantastic play.

My unbiased opinion: Both these teams are good.

Matthew Tkachuk's biased opinion: Both these teams are good.

Tkachuk was asked post-game for his thoughts on the Oilers and whether or not they've improved since last year's Cup Final. His response?

“They’re better, we’re better, it’s going to be a great series,” Tkachuk said.

Amen! 

I think we've got an absolute classic of a series on our hands!
