You're an offensive team, you need to try and push a bit more, draw a penalty or just try and get a bounce for a little longer before you empty the net and push all the chips in.
I don't think it made a big difference in the grand scheme of things as the game was never in doubt, but I think it showcases how 1 dimensional that Oilers team really is from a coaching staff right down to the players.

I could kinda see the logic of pulling the goalie at the 7 minute mark if the Oilers had been carrying the play for extended periods of time in the third period, but they hadn’t and it, as people say, seems like a desperation at that point in time.
