My biggest complaint about the game was the brutal refereeing.
I know there is love for Janko, but to be honest, he was a non-factor in the game.
Ideally, if the Flames could improve their forward speed and skill, I could see them being a threat in the playoffs.

Disagree with the bold. I thought the Flames were clearly the better team in the first two periods. In the first especially, the Jets never had any real scoring chances.
The big difference in the game was the penalties. Once the Jets started getting lots of PPs, including two 5 on 3s, they took over. But saying the Flames were the second best team is unfair IMO.
