The Oilers' power play has been simply incredible all year long. Every time the PP unit stepped on the ice, you knew that something was about to happen.

Do you believe it cost the Oilers their victory?

As seen on Blade of Steel - Edmonton Oilers still upset about non-call that potentially cost them their playoff lives, should they be though?
