The weaker team grows tired and frustrated with the better team, and penalties are taken to try to catch up. It's like JV versus varsity. JV will always foul more.

It will be interesting to see if the Oilers penalties are chronic.
Can’t remember all of em but the Perry penalty that lead to the game tying goal was just dumb. Standing in the slot with o-zone possession and he cross checks a guy in the face.
Perry penalty was super careless yup. Playing on the edge is hard though. He’s been amazing for them

Agreed to all. I'm not sure what the case is with these penalties. It will be interesting to see what happens the rest of the series.

I play a lot of pickleball. You know when hard balls to face happen? When you're beating the other team, maybe not in score, but on the court. :)
