The most frustrating part is if an opposing players try anything physical, the Oilers are trained to dive and draw a penalty. It makes teams afraid to do anything because the Oilers win off their powerplays. I am hoping that the refs put the whistles away, but it usually doesn't happen in the first few games of a series.
The Kings might be better off just going full goon in the first game to put the Oilers on edge even if it burns a game, rather than getting slow burned for the whole series.
