The Flames shouldn't bother appealing.
I'm really disturbed about the text message admission, if anything is going to fracture a dressing room, its this whether it was willingly given over or not. But I contend that the Flames dressing room is nowhere near on the same page as last year.
Basically the Flames have averaged I think 5 penalties a game over the last 4, and we've also seen obvious calls the other way being ignored (obvious penalty shot, Johnny getting hit from behind right in front of the refs etc).
My buddy said it the other day and he's not a flames fan, that if the Flames expect to get a favorable call for the rest of the season they're kidding themselves.
