Might as well have been a sweep.

Thing is…it was a close series.
Game 2, 4 and 5 were all toss ups. The Oilers won every close game, some do that is luck and some of that was getting crazy performance from 97.
Don’t think Flames were terrible. Just a bit sloppy and unlucky. Markstrom was bad.
Shots: 189-170 Flames
Scoring Chances: 172-150 Flames
High Danger Chances: 66-61 Flames
Expected Goals: 17.6 - 16.5 Flames
Goals: 25-20 Oilers
Save Percentage: .853 - .894 Oilers
Neither team got good goaltending but Markstrom couldn’t make a big save. You aren’t going to win any series with an .853 save percentage and 8.5 goals allows above expected.
