No wonder they dive and whine to get calls constantly. It's the primary way they can score.

Don't bring that up to any Oilers fan, they'll just call you a hater and say they are a very good 5-on-5 team and that their reliance on the PP is just a tired narrative. Vancouver or Nashville better not let me down in round 2.

Saw a stat that the Oil were 9 for 20 on the power play and two more scored within 30 seconds of a power play ending in the series. For an effective 11 for 20.

On the broadcast last night they made mention how McDavid, Draisaitl and Hyman can play a lot of minutes. No shit when you get a lot of PP time and exert less on them.

Even the Oilers coach wanted to get out of there early, he knew they didn't deserve the win last night :D
