Even despite the extra game played, where fair enough, Oiler fans could say "yeah we're tied, but...", in terms of official standings, we have a better ROW than them. I feel like we should be ahead.

It's always been like that, in every sport. It's just math. If you have the same number of points and have played less games, you have a better record. The very first tiebreaker is games played. Once the regular season is over that one won't matter, and then you go to ROWs. Right now Edmonton is in front of Calgary in the standings. If Edmonton loses tonight, Calgary will be in front. If Edmonton gets a win or a SOL, they will remain ahead. That's also just math.
