I put this in another thread but maybe it belongs here. After some quick research, I believe the answer is yes. The Oilers established a new standard in another embarrassing category
My question was regarding that shift by Leon that was only slightly longer than the one by Connor:
Did we witness history tonight?
Seems like this comparison between Chara and Kovalev is discussing numbers dwarfed by the Oil tonight.

Chara had a 4:18 shift. But he was a D. Kovalev around 5 min
With Kovalev, it was a punishment from Keenan.
With the Oil, it’s just desperation or delusion. No message being sent. Except for indirectly from the coach to the rest of the team.
Congrats, Tippett, McAvi and Raisaitl!
Oilers gonna Oil
Time to raise another banner to the rafters
