The goalie interference on Bouma, the late holding the stick on Dougie, the lack of calling Perry for interference on the Dougie infraction.
The 2nd goal went in sure.. but the play should have been blown dead 10 seconds before the shot, when Perry is over at the bench punching players in the face... with an official standing right there.
In the last few minutes the Ducks had too many men, a high stick, and a blatant holding that were all let go , seemingly because the refs decided the Ducks had already had enough called on them.
I understand refs can't see "everything" but you can't use that line when a ref is literally standing beside Perry while he is throwing punches at players on our Bench. It's just sickening the amount of money fans put into this game and have to deal with the officiating that we have seen this year. I yell at beer league refs that make 40 bucks a game. NHL officials are making 6 figures a year. What other job can you be so consistently bad and still retain a job (not including anyone in the Oiler organization 2006-2016)?
But back to the original point of all these calls, what's the point of even having rules and penalties if you can simply stop following those rules at any time?

THIS 100%. The Refs even saw Perry holding Bennett behind the net and the play, then dropping him to the ice and told him to KNOCK it off.
Also, I can't understand why Perry was in the Flames bench for as long as he was, without a penalty which resulted in a goal.
