I disagree a bit. This is on the Kings as well. They were down late in that game vs Chicago last Thursday and already knew the outcome if they win they get (Edmonton) or lose (Dallas) and they decided to to pop a late Powerplay goal with a few minutes left to tie the game and thus give them the Oilers. These are smart teams, keeping an eye on the out of town scoreboard and strategizing ahead of time. They had the choice at that moment of who there opponent could be, score and we get Edmonton or just let the powerplay fizzle out vs Chicago or heck even allow an empty netter and we get Dallas.
