My point is this. Good win, needed that. But does every game has to be such a rollercoaster?
Is it wrong to question that?
What if they play a great game but lose? Are we not allowed to praise them for a good game?

I think it’s fair to critique when deserved but you didn’t really do it in a way to create discussion, just in a way to troll and complain.
The top line didn’t have a great night and were hemmed in their zone a fair bit.
But even when hemmed they didn’t actually give up a lot of quality.
They had a bad Corsi for at 36.8% (7 for, 12 against) but really they did well to limit the chances that came from that.
Shots were 5-5 with them on the ice, high danger chances were 1 for and 2 against (which seems weird since both goals for were high danger area IMO), and they out scored the other team 2-1.
They didn’t maybe have their best game overall tonight and fought the puck at times but they grinded it out in the defensive zone and actually came out ahead on the scoreboard.
Shouldn’t be overlooked that for as bad as they looked at times tonight as a team they outscored the Oilers 5-1 at 5v5.
