There certainly been a handful of very poor non-calls the Flames way, but I have a hard time being sympathetic when the team is simply not executing at a high enough level. If they were, these razor thin margins would be non-existent and the game would not be in the refs hands as much as it is/has been at times like these. I still think the series has been entertaining and much better to watch than the slow, mind numbing series against the Ducks we all had to endure in recent past.
This has also been a common narrative the last 2 playoff series the team has been in to get all bent over about the officials. Everyone knows the officiating hurtles towards this point in the post season. The Flames (and fans) should all be well aware that you can't expect it to go your way and you need to be the team dictating to avoid as many of these situations as possible.
After 30+ years of watching the NHL, I can say that it's not going to be fixed, it is what it is.
