There is no conspiracy.
Its just that the officiating in this league is very incompetent and inconsistent, and unfortunately for the Flames (and us Flames fans) we've been on the wrong end of it for key moments in this series.
The Wideman effect is pretty hard to deny though back when he was still playing. Going from being one of the least penalized teams to most penalized teams almost over night is a black mark on this leagues officiating IMO and goes to show how easily the officials personal discretion can influence how they apply the rules to each game they call.
