It’s hilarious that some people are so surprised. The oiler’s “success” has been solely based on their powerplay which has produced at crazy high levels over the last couple years. That’s why they struggled past the first round of the playoffs… the first round has just as many, if not more, powerplays than the regular season but penalty calls go down as teams go deeper into the playoffs. Which you instantly see become a struggle for the oilers. They were manhandled by Vegas at 5-on-5 last year.
What we are seeing now is what they look like when their powerplay is not elite… a terrible team.
