When we were complaining about poor officiating it was a joke, whats this karma thing I've been hearing about?

The offside goal really is a non-issue as at speed it was so close that I wouldn't expect any human being to be able to get the right call more than 50% of the time. The fact that the Oilers didn't have a time out to challenge it isn't the officials fault. Officials made the right call according to the rules on the 1st goal and called a fair game from the opening puck drop as if they really were biased there's no way they call that late penalty on Vermette which ultimately led to the tying goal.
I realize on HF it's all "refs screwed us" but really the series has come down to goaltending and your best players being your best players. Talbot better in games 1 & 2 and Gibson better in games 2 & 3 and Getzlaf has outplayed any Oiler forward including McDavid. That's the difference not the officiating. If Talbot is lights out in game five it will be a 3-2 series Oilers lead and if he's mediocre again then it's probably going to be 3-2 Ducks.
