Were the Oilers really crying about Roloson getting hurt?
Ladd getting shoved into him is like the prime example of Newton’s first law of motion.
He got them to the dance but he was on fumes and playing way over his head. He had to turn into a pumkin at some point and game 1 was it.
Ive gone over this series meticulously and Markanen played a great series. If you look at the 3 losses he was in net for it looks like this.
Game 2 the oilers the oilers didn’t score a goal. You’re not winning that game with Roy and Hasek in net if you can’t score 1.
Game 4 he gives up two. I don’t remember the goals off hand but recall reviewing them and there wasn’t anything he could have really done on them. Oilers score 1 goal. That’s not gonna get it done guys.
Game 7 he gives up two goals on screened point shots. Oilers scored 1 goal. It’s game 7. You gotta bring it better than that.
Edmonton won zero games in the previous 3 rounds by a score of 1-0. It’s a pretty big stretch to think that the Oilers win either of those two games by that 1-0 score in the finale. In fact they didn’t win a single game the entire season by a score of 1-0.
Plain and simple when you only score 1 or 0 goals in three games of a series, you’re probably gonna lose that series.
