During an interview with Sportsnet's Kyle Bukauskas, NBA legend Charles Barkley spoke about the Panthers performance during game one especially Sergei Bobrovsky's game to which he nearly dropped an F bomb during the interview.
After his close Freudian slip, Barkley quickly changed his tune and apologized to Bukauskas, to which he was laughing hysterically, and Barkley continued his assessment.
The NBA has been involved with the NHL playoffs for the last several weeks as both the NBA and NHL TNT network sets are quite close to one another and both groups of players have been interacting on television and taking part into some of the discussions between both leagues.
Shaquille O'Neal was front and centre with the Oilers as he exchanged jerseys with Oilers forward Zach Hyman to which spittin chiclets host Paul Bissonnette labeled him Shaq Hyman. This led to Barkley speaking about his favorite Oiler who happened to be Leon Draisaitl and he also received a signed jersey from Draisaitl just prior to the Stanley Cup Finals.
The Oilers have their work cut out for them as the series now switches back to Edmonton for games three and four and the Oilers are now down 2-0 in the series with their 4-1 loss.
