Best part of last night was seeing how shocked and depressed all the SN clowns were. Even later when they switched to the highlights package, the dude said something like "I just can't wrap my head around what we just watched."
Was that game really that surprising? This is hockey. Comebacks happen frequently, especially against teams with shoddy D and goaltending. The Oilers are a two-man team who rely heavily on their PP for offence and generally get their heads caved in 5 on 5. If the calls go down, as they usually do in later rounds, they're gonna struggle to score goals. Other teams like the 'Nucks/Avs/Stars are just deeper, stronger at defending/forechecking, and are able to roll 4 lines. The Oilers can't match that.
