There may be definitely an argument to be made that the puck had fully crossed the road. Nonetheless, with Jarry&#8217;s skate blocking a transparent view of the road, it&#8217;s hard to know obviously. Oilers defenseman Mattias Ekholm <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/reporterchris\/status\/2048630941812216293\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">couldn&#8217;t consider the decision<\/a> himself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do not understand how they see it as a conclusive goal. I just don&#8217;t,\u201d the veteran rearguard said, via The Athletic&#8217;s Chris Johnston.<\/p>\n<p>This might definitely be a pivotal moment within the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Oilers lost Game 3 before this, in order that they are actually facing elimination. Their season ended inside a matter of days. If that happens, this call can be scrutinized even further than it already is.<\/p>\n<p>In any event, there may be nothing Edmonton can do about this now. They need to live with the truth that they&#8217;re on the point of elimination. The Oilers will look to stop that from coming to pass once they return to Rogers Place on Tuesday night for a do-or-die Game 5.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Edmonton Oilers were defeated by the Anaheim Geese in Game 4 on Sunday night.
