I would have and was thinking the same thing at the time.
I like the fact that NHL has had a coaching philosophy change that focuses more on what could happen on the good side, then on the bad side.
Its tough enough to get control to hit an empty net 5 on 3, so 6 on 3 would be even less likely.
Plus the Flames seem to have the 6 bodies on the ice thing down through their comebacks all season, wouldn't be cluttered or effecting their 5 on 3 set plays.
