The Oilers aren't giving the Flames the chances the Flames are giving the Oilers which is sad because the Oilers D isn't that good and the Flames should be able to create those chances.

I agree the Oilers had better chances today, but not at a 4-1 rate. Smith made some big saves and Markstrom did not.
Markstrom has been the second best goalie this entire playoffs with the exception of 1 game against Dallas.
He is dead last in goals saved above expected for starting goalies...Mike Smith is first.
