On the one hand saying the flames were lucky to win last year with bad advanced stats.

On the other saying the oilers were unlucky to lose last night despite getting pummeled in advanced stats.

I'd rather spend a week in an isolation chamber with Donald Trump than buy and read a book by that turd.
Not sure what article you read. He specifically says that the Oilers didn't deserve to win, and that the Flames got lucky bounces, which is 100% true. That was about as even-handed a write-up on a game featuring too not-too-good hockey teams. Flames were lucky to win; Oilers would have been lucky to win had it gone the other way.
