I am not deferring to Oilers press releases what so ever. I'm simply giving the benefit of the doubt to the coach that had the Oilers at a .724 winning percentage.

Fair enough, but hear me out. What if Woodcroft had a .724 win percentage, but the Oilers were still below the Flames and Canucks? I think I'd have some questions for him in that situation. 
In all seriousness though, the Oilers just got badly outplayed in a game, and Archibald was probably their worst forward, (and really hasn't been good at all in the playoffs). You think there would be zero benefit to maybe switching that guy out for a game and see what another guy can do in that spot? Or go back to 11-7.

Look, I don't want to look like a guy taking up for Archibald. I really don't give a crap if he plays. He's a bottom 6 guy who won't be here in a few months. So if he plays or not, who cares in my opinion. If the Oilers take him out for someone else, great, go for it. I don't think he moves the needle enough in my opinion.
But to your point. The entire team played like trash in game 4. If you think he was the worst, cool. If haven't looked at the numbers but if he was the worst in game 4, cool. The Oilers didn't lose because Archibald played in game 4. They lost because to a man, outside Smith, the entire team sucked. That includes McD, golden boys Nuge and JP, whoever else. The Oilers beat the hell out of the Kings 2 times in a row with Archibald in the line up so there is that too.
If the Oilers are going to win tonight, it won't be because Archibald. It will be because McD's line plays better, Leon's line plays better. Nuge plays way better, JP plays better, the defense core plays better.
