Shocking Statistic Reveals How Referees Are Biased Against The Oilers

The Oilers had a rocky start to their season but had a massive turnaround with a 16-game winning streak. Yet, close followers of Edmonton have started to notice a trend.

Referees Accused Of Deliberate Bias Against Oilers

Recently, referees of Oilers games have been taking the heat, as allegations of bias have started to rise. Recently, they have been attacked for mistreating Draisaitl, which reached headlines after Kurt Leavins' comments in the Edmonton Journal started to take weight.




However, it seems as though this single-player bias accusation is not holding much water, as Oilers fans started to do the research themselves.

Shocking Statistic Reveals Clear Bias Against Oilers

Recently, one dedicated fan tallied up the numbers for Draisaitl, and it already looked suspicious. For someone with such a high faceoff record, he was getting kicked out an awful lot.



This is already pretty incriminating evidence, but more statistics have emerged that make this case seem open and shut.



With such an astounding season since the start of the year, most people would expect Edmonton to have one of the highest amounts of powerplay opportunities. However, they are third from the bottom and have a terrible ratio of only 2.53 per game. Any reasonable statistician would find this indicative of mistreatment of the team at large.

While there is currently no physical proof that the referees are taking action against Edmonton, it is evident there is some foul play afoot. With so many star players, though, the Oilers still have a chance to navigate beyond this challenging situation.
