That's actually a really good point about the whole delayed penalty/scoring short handed/ not geting the power play or even a 4-4. It's been like that forever though and scoring short handed on a delayed penalty happens so rarely ( I imagine) that I doubt it will ever be a seriously raised concern.

Did you see the play? While I was watching it I couldn't believe it. I was so ecstatic and thought that the short handed goal combined with a power play would be the game changer then it turns out they were still playing short handed and the oilers eventually score still... that's when I knew it was over

I briefly watched the highlights but didn't pay attention to what the scenarios were but I completely understand your point. I hope the goaltenders aren't in a slump right now, they can still produce offensively but they can't continue this trend of giving up 6 goals a game, especially with Anaheim being not too far behind in points. Luckily they're enjoying a 3 day break to get well rested before facing Columbus which should be a win for them.
