I could be remembering things incorrectly, but I believe a couple years ago it leaked that the Flames requested a meeting with the NHL and had prepared a presentation campaigning against bias. Or more likely framed in the service of consistency, and to regain face after the Wideman incident.
Again, IIRC, it did not go well for the Flames.
Call it a conspiracy, but when you have experts admitting that officials are human and have bias, even on a subconscious level, it's not far fetched to think there is still bad blood between the Flames organization and certain departments of the NHL over the entire Wideman fiasco. That incident was a #### show from the get go.
