You can see why Treliving and Burke want this team to get bigger. When it comes to this time of year the interference call goes right out the window unless you blatantly body check someone without the puck. Fighting for space and body position is the key to winning, and the Flames are really struggling to do that now without the help of the referees. I hate that there's a different standard at this time of year, but it is what it is and all teams have to go through it. If nothing else this is a massive learning experience for most of these players who have never really played meaningful hockey at this time of year.
