Losing a game twice feels worse than losing a game once. I wonder how both Oilers and Sabres fans who attended yesterday’s game felt like when the Overtime goal was called back for offside.

Until the third period, Tuesday night’s game didn’t feel like an 8-4 blowout. The Oilers had a two-goal lead twice but went into the second intermission tied.
