Was at the Oiler game - sellout in Phx
Shots were 21-4 late in the 1st, then the Oilers got a lucky goal and the period ended tied.
Oilers score 21 seconds into the 2nd or thereabouts, then again shortly afterward. 3-1 Oilers despite the shots being 27-10 and total domination by the Yotes. They pulled Smith after the 3rd goal, meanwhile Bryz played really well.
By 3-1, the Olers were feeling more confident and actually started to make a game of it. However, it felt absolutely inevitable that the Yotes would eventually come back. It took a long time, but the best team won.
Watching the looks on the faces of the Oiler fans after the OT goal made the night.
Also, the loudest cheer of the first period came when the score of the Can-US WJ game was posted.
