Again, this series should be going to Game 6, with all the pressure on the Oilers not to fail and have to come back to Calgary...an Oilers team who can and have folded like a cheap card table this year and other years and have an organization not built for success or positivity.
All those positive stats for the Oilers and negative ones for the Flames could go out the window quick if the Flames forced a game 7. If the Flames win 3-1 and 4-2, good chance the Oilers top.2 players still outscore our top line and Markstroms sv percentage could still be under .900, but we would be onto round 3.
The league decided the Flames don't get the chance.
