There's a 5 vs 5 stat post flying around on the Oilers HFboards about shooting percentage quality and chances generated against the Hawks, to perpetuate the idea that the Hawks were very lucky to have even won against the Stanley Cup favourite juggernaut known as the Oilers and how the Oilers should have just gotten a bye to the playoffs.

Must be something in the water. That's the only way that the Oilers can lose to the 23rd ranked team in the NHL in 4 games. Not because Nurse was a pylon, not because Mike Smith scored in his own net, not because Draisatl is invisble in the defensive zone, not because Kassian was a 3.2 million white elephant, not because RNH had 8 points and still managed to be a -2, and MCDavid leads the playoffs and is a +1.

Also don't look at McDavid's 43.1% FO, Haas 41.7%, Ennis at 33.3%. Those are meaningless, faceoffs don't score goals or pad stats.
