The Oilers lost several games this year where they were the better team by a mile and lost. This game, they brought their C game, give a hat tip to the Hawks as those guys played their asses off but the Oilers won the game. Whether you play your best game and win or your worst, they count exactly the same in the standings. You don't get extra for style points.
Skinner was great and won them the game. Payback for a few stinkers early in the year. The hockey gods didn't give the Oilers any breaks early on, they repaid a few breaks last night.
Once again the NHL comes out looking like clowns on the offside review. If they can allow that Makar goal a few years ago, a goal where to the naked eye, it looks 2 feet offside, how can they not allow the 3rd goal? I thought the purpose of the offside review is to make sure you don't have what happened on that Duchense goal happen again. If you have to slow the play down to frame by frame and zoom in 10 times to see if a puck is millimeters offside, that's not what the review is for. They need to make it where if you can't make the call in 1 min of review, then leave the call on the ice. If it takes you 5-10 mins to figure it out, then clearly it had zero impact on the play and is too close to call.
