L.A. was the better team overall. They had more structure and played smarter.
The Oilers had a few moments of higher intensity where Quick had to be better than Smith, but looking at the full 60 minutes, anyone who can't see that L.A. was better overall, is wearing homer glasses. The last few minutes with the goalie pulled, the Oilers really poured it on, which probably skews how some recall the game in its entirety.
