The Edmonton Oilers should have won that game in Phoenix on Tuesday night. But in the final analysis, they really didn’t deserve to. On an evening when a few players had excellent games, a few too many more were passengers…and that caught up to the Oilers in the end.
9 Things:
9. Fun Fact: The Edmonton Oilers have now lost 16 consecutive hockey games, when NHL referee Francis Charron has been officiating. The skid dates back to the 20th of January, 2013.
8. Francis Charron was in no way to blame for the 3 bad penalties that the Edmonton Oilers took tonight: A Lazy hook by Rob Klinkhammer, a needless hold by Eric Gryba, and the overtime high-stick by Taylor Hall.
