The Oilers win games when they lure the other team into playing no-defence river hockey, constantly trading chances, etc... Florida unfortunately got sucked into that last night and it cost them. They also weren't prepared to match the Oilers' desperation and it showed. Closing a series out is never easy, even when you've completely dominated the other team up to that point.
I have no doubt that they'll get back to their usual suffocating defensive game on Tuesday and finally finish these clowns off. After having been here last year and not getting the job done, I don't think the Panthers are gonna let this one slip away.
