Unreal that I had to watch that. Erickson suckers Bennett too.
I miss the days when we had Mcgrattan, Engelland, Regehr and Iginla. Because their should be and would be payback.

Officiating in the NHL is broken. They routinely affect the sporting outcome.
Blocking clearing attempts, getting in the way of rushes, missing blatant calls, making marginal calls, face off drama and then there is the whole ‘intended to blow’ phenomena.
Look at how their calls evolve over a season, it renders earlier games less valid because the rules essentially change over time.
That’s not why Flames lost last night. The second D pair was owned as others have mentioned. Just venting.
