The Flames are awful at face-offs so they are not surprisingly probably trying to get a jump on the puck drop to make up for it.
Other teams know that they can beat the Flames straight up so no need to try and cheat the same way so they get thrown out a lot less.
The game yesterday was done fine by the linesman and the whining by Stajan is tiresome and likely only going to result in him getting tossed out more if anything.
