[Scary Eloranta]

First goal: the first penalty of the 5 on 3 was a complete joke and in my opinion could have possibly even gone the other way. Getzlaf breaks his stick and it's effectively a 5 on 2, a rebound lands right on Letestu's stick with an open net and a stickless defender.

Second goal: Different circumstances leading to the PP but again the rebound jumps right to Letestu with an open net. You literally couldn't have placed 2 pucks in better spots for the guy.

Third goal: Terrible change by a Ducks forward gives the Oilers an effective 5 on 4 and leaves Larsson completely alone. Great shot to bury it.

Fourth goal: Pinball off a defender from behind the net.

So again, I'm not saying they didn't deserve to win, it's not as though the Ducks got completely robbed of a deserved victory, but the way I saw it everything kind of aligned for the Oilers to score last night and they had good fortune on their side. It happens.

But never for us!
