The Flames have had to kill the most PP's in the league (138) to the Oilers 131 (5th most).
But if you look at 5v5 XGF% the Flames are 5th best and the Oilers are 19th. Why does the 19th best 5v5 team have a significant PP advantage over the 5th best 5v5 team? Oilers have a negative 1 penalty differential and the Flames are -19?
It could not have been more evident than tonight's game. No matter what transpired on the ice the Oilers wete going to get a PP advantage.

Why do you think the officials consistently target the Flames and ignore infractions?
