Oilers beat the Ducks 5-3 in Anaheim and move into 7th spot in the Western Conference.
Wow, what the hell was that last night? I listened to the game over the internet radio broadcast on 630 Ched. Rod Philips and Bob Staufer being my eyes for this barn burner. According to "rockin'" Rod the officiating was pretty bad, but I take everything he says with a grain of salt.
However I heard the same from many other sources too so maybe there is some truth to it. Shots on goal were 54-20 in favor of the Ducks. That's right 54 shots on Dwayne Roloson. I heard another stat on the post game show with Dan Tencer that the Ducks directed 93 shots towards Roloson including blocked and missed shots. The Oilers special teams and more specifically the play of Dwayne Roloson won this game for the Oilers. The Oilers went 1/4 on the PP with Penner scoring a nice one in close and the Ducks went 1/9 on the PP putting 24 shots on goal during over 16 minutes of PP time throughout the game. That's right, the Ducks had more shots on goal on their 9 PP's alone than the Oilers did the entire game.
2 quick goals in the 1st from Penner and Pisani only 37 seconds apart and again 2 quickies in the 2nd, this time only 9 seconds apart from Penner and Brodziak turned out to be enough. Kotalik added the empty netter late in the 3rd.
We probably had no business winning this one based on the stats, but I give Rollie and the PK a lot of credit for gutting out this win at a crucial stage of the season, playing a team we're battling for a playoff spot with. And don't forget about getting some timely goals. When we went up 2-0 early in the 1st, I figured all we had to do was keep the foot on the gas and we'll roll to a nice 4-1 win. When the Ducks tied it up at 2 early in the 2nd I figured oh crap, we're done. But then we scored 2 quick ones for the 3rd time in the last 2 games. But man, that 3rd period was tense. I'm glad we won, but I wish we could have been a bit more disciplined and not have had to rely so heavily on our already over worked goalie.
