The Edmonton Oilers clearly learned very little about avoiding penalties between games one and two of this series, but they learned about the cost of those penalties tonight. Or the lack thereof. The Sharks’ power play has to be a topic of concern after game two on Friday night, where the Sharks went -2 for 6, bringing their total for the series to -1 for 12. That’s not actually how to count these things, but extreme circumstances call for extreme measurements. It was, how shall I say this delicately, garbage.
It wasn’t always this way, as the two teams seemed to skate with each other pretty well through most of the first period.
