In fact, you could consider it to be drawing a penalty....part of the game.
As for the Oiler fans who think the Flames are lucky, this is the unluckiest season for the team I've seen. The number of games Calgary has outplayed the opposition and lost is something else. The OTLs, the posts, the disallowed goals (going back to Game 5 against Edmonton). Nothing has been breaking the right way for the Flames this year. Yet they still have a shot.
But I wouldn't call the Oilers lucky either. It takes serious mismanagement to put yourself in a position to win 4 draft lotteries in 6 years. That isn't luck; it takes dedication and hard work to make a reverse dynasty.
