To me this game came down to officiating.
It was bad.
Going into the third the powerplays were 6-2 for Edmonton and a few offsetting for 4 on 4.
Not only does that amount of special teams play throw the flow of the game off, it helped the Oilers disproportionately.
Markstrom was good but not great. But the Flames couldn't get any momentum going once the parade to the penalty box started.
Several of the Oilers goals wouldn't have happened if the game was called properly.
Different refs next game, and a chance to get the flow going will only help the Flames.
Hopefully Tanev will be back.
Who here thought this would be a sweep? Anyone?
