I watched the game and considering it is after midnight I decided to get ready for bed sorry to disappoint though. The Oilers deserved to lose though they were undisciplined and took a number of bad penalties. A cross check to the head when you are leading by one is moronic and the trip in overtime was obvious and should have been called . I think that the officiating was good tonight and the right calls were made. I don’t believe in the philosophy that some have that every call should be made as the game would be a constant 3 on 3.
Skinner looked shaken throughout the game giving up large rebounds and not really looking set.
The oilers need to outscore their goaltending and when McDavid puts up no points then they are dead in the water. I think that they will come back strong in game 2 though
