It was offside, and I guarantee if it was the other way around it would have been brought back.

There have been so many calls like this this year. I don't understand how some of you can still deny it actually. I find that bizarre.

It's convenient to always just stay the course and claim nothing's wrong, it makes you look like the 'level-headed one'. I think you're wrong. Since Wideman, the officiating and NHL has obviously had a very clear slant against the Flames.

Why the hell else would the Flames themselves bring it up with the NHL on officiating?!

The numbers don't really support this.
