It's not NBA bad but it's bad.

I think it's possible to hold these two thoughts in your head simultaneously:
1) The Flames are not getting the benefit of the doubt with the referees as a group. This may include not getting the call in situations of a blatant penalty.
2) Even though the Flames may not be getting the benefit of the doubt from the officials as a group, this by itself is not what is costing the Flames games.
