Came across this Oiler fan synopsis of the game last night:
Quote:
Having been at the game last night this is my synopsis of the game.
First Period:
The Oilers outplay the Flames for the most part and get the better of the scoring chances and pressure but cant score. The Oilers have a crappy powerplay and the Flames score shorthanded. Ortio with some big saves.
Second Period:
The refs decide they're going to call a bunch of penalties and it ruins the flow of the game. Some Oilers get frustrated by the calls going one way and stop hustling and some mistakes start happening. Defence starts to get tired. Flames go up 2-0. More good scoring chances for the Oilers that they can't cash in on.
3rd Period:
Flames go up 3-0 early. More one sided reffing. 4-0 Flames. The game starts getting chippy and the refs still won't call some blatant stuff by the Flames, the Oilers remain snake bit around the goal. In the end a demoralized Oilers team is outplayed by a Flames team that is getting the bounces, getting the calls, and getting the goaltending.
If the refs are calling an even game when it's 1-0 in the 2nd this game ends differently.

You can't make this stuff up.
