In these playoffs, it seems like there are a lot more 4-3 and 5-4 results than 2-1 through the first two rounds, tossing out the Carolina-Washington series. Not just with the Oilers.

In Round 1, the Oilers outscored Los Angeles 27-24 in six games. So are the shooters just better than the goalies now?
