Team-wise nothing to be too upset about here, except for maybe the first 5 minutes of the 1st. Battled back hard, Ortio looked great after that gaffe in the 1st, and a couple of solid chances that Smith just made great saves on. But my god the reffing!!! If you thought it was bad, there were definitely 2, probably 3, plays I saw that could have easily been called against the Phoenix Bettman's behind the play. I usually hate ref blaming, seems like a cop out excuse, but there was a painfully obvious bias against the Flames, absolutely shameful. Still lots to be proud of from our boys tonight. I'm really hoping Burke's praise of Hartley isn't just blowing smoke, and keeps him as the bench boss, he's been great.
