Oilers fans directly caused Panthers to take a penalty in game 4
During their recent episode of the 32 thoughts podcast, hosts Jeff Merrick and Elliot Friedman both agreed that Oilers fans were the direct cause of a penalty towards the Florida Panthers in game 4.
The penalty in question happened at 4 minutes and 12 seconds of the first period when the Oilers fan base continue their loud presence early on. Merrick and Freidman feel the Oilers crowd was so loud that it caused the Panthers bench to not communicate with one another leading to the penalty.
The Oilers failed to score on that penalty, but it didn't matter the Oilers had complete control of this game and completely dominated especially in the goals department as they won 8-1.
As the onslaught continued into the second and third period, Friedman stated that it was like a party atmosphere at Rogers place as the fan base felt great knowing that their team would be able to play at least one more game as the series now switches back to Sunrise FL.
It's safe to say that if the Oilers can find this offence again and somehow managed to pull off another win heading back to Edmonton there is a small chance that things could turn around quickly.
In the meantime, Oilers fans can enjoy this victory at home and hopes to have another as game five will take place on Monday June 17th and puck drop will be at 8:00 PM eastern.
