Maybe this isn't true, but I've noticed that uncalled and unsuspended plays put bounties on players' heads. Once there's some sort of discipline, at least it feel like it has been 'dealt with' and they move on.
However, there are two remaining games against LA, who will more than likely be completely out of the playoff picture and pissed at the Flames for taking their spot. The only thing they have to 'fight' for is retribution. Especially if they call up some prospects at the end of the season, who are trying to make a name for themselves. I expect a very, very chippy last few games against LA.
