Not a lot mentioning that Markstrom was brutal, the Flames defensive play was sloppy at times, that Tanev is out. That McDavid's big night (and yes, he is a great player obviously) was in large part to do with some very stoppable shots and frankly some good luck on his part.

The Oilers can be better. But so can the Flames.
Honestly that game was just wild.

Sometimes in Sports there are moments and events that you just cant draw any meaningful conclusions from.

Everything was so out of the ordinary and off.

That was one where you just sit the team down, watch the game-tape once, make a comment here and there on trends and patterns and then burn it and move along.
