So ####ing tired of the NHL’s officiating.

Yes the flames sat back in the third period, but they were also 3 mins from winning.
Then the refs changed the standard, put the flames in the box for a trip that looked like it was at least half MacKinnon twisting himself into a pretzel (and similar to countless non-calls on Gaudreau).

So Colorado scores with 2:30 to go and the Flames “get their chance” on a black-and-white/makeup call in OT? Obviously Colorado still has the momentum and they win bc sudden death.

How does the NHL still have fans again? Because that’s ####ing bush league.
I don’t care whether it’s the first game of the season, the all star game, playoffs, or the last minute of game seven. Just call the rules consistently.

We’re all going to cheer for the flames no matter what, but how do you grow the sport when the rules shift from game to game?
