The Anaheim game yesterday was a joke too. One goal offside (?), one goal stick is knocked out of the goalie's hands by an oiler but missed, then they go ahead on a late 3rd period PP. A microcosm of what their "resurgence" has looked like.
But still can't get it done against teams they need to beat.

Pretty sure the Rangers were in the middle of a big slide at the time, they beat the Flames on a fluke goal...and that was the old Flames
I know games in hand but if the Flames had won the two battle of Alberta's they would be ahead of the Oilers in a season they are selling players and the Oilers set a team win streak record
