Oiler fans can whine all they want about the call and that 'it would have been tied if it wasn't allowed'. However, that just isn't the case.
It was close at the end because of game management, nothing more. Some easy calls on the Avs, the ability to commit murder for the Oilers. That helped propel them back in the game. Had it been closer, they wouldn't have reffed it that way.
Without that, it was never close. The Makar goal is pretty irrelevant (but also the correct call)
