Dear god - the whining and crying from Stone, Cassidy, and all the media. The entire HNIC panel beside themselves that the Oilers got away with one. Button losing his mind. You would think the Oilers had never had a single infraction against them go uncalled. I have a feeling our streak of getting less PP opps than our opponents will continue next game.

Good to dig up memories to compare. We needed a PP in the elimination game 6 last time against Vegas. Ekholm going for a puck and gets a high stick right under his eye. Blood pouring out of the cut. No call.




Getting the benefit of refs being blind is very welcome, because we aren't getting any benefit any other way from these guys. Think the ref was late getting back to see that Arvidsson play and had the net in his line of sight when the trip happened.

Technically Vegas still gets more PP ops again last night, and our 8th straight game of not getting more ops than our opponent.

Vegas up 7 to 5 in the series in PP's, 25 to 18 in the playoffs overall. I'm sure the refs will ensure that continues after the miss last night.

Oilers are 18-27 PP's to PK's in the playoffs.
