I think it would have been tough sledding to win G6 in EDM (especially now that we have confirmation of officiating bias), but any combo of Smith being typical Smith and Markstrom being typical Markstrom could have gotten us to game 7.

The pressure would have been back on Edmonton to win at home. If they lose that then it's advantage Calgary in Game 7. The Oilers had won a game in Calgary, I've no doubt the Flames could win a game in Edmonton. Tough sledding sure, obviously the odds are against the Flames when they're down 3 games, but I think they had enough leadership and talent to give it a good shot.
That opportunity was snatched away by the league IMO. Oilers in 5 should have a big asterisk beside it as far as I'm concerned.
