As usual, the Oilers themselves, Oilers fans, and Oilers media (basically fans) are doing their song and dance bitching and moaning about one-sided officiating being the primary reason for their trailing in the series.
Per Natural Stattrick, at 5v5:
- Attemps 190-161 Panthers
- Goals 8-4 Panthers
And this despite the Oilers having held an extra home game and the Panthers having accrued 5.5 hours and two time zones of additional travel.
But yeah it's special teams doing the poor Oilers in. Right.
