Playing the Oilers even is not playing well defensively.
The Flames forgot about defence and tried to play firewagon hockey. The Oilers never knew anything about defence and played the way they usually play.
Markstrom's crease might as well have been a welcome mat in that series. Draisaitl and Hyman, in particular, were able to skate in at will and shoot from point-blank range.
