The officials are not biased against the Flames. But NHL officiating is overall shoddy.

I disagree, officials are held to an imaginary standard that has never existed in real life. Any attempt to materialize that standard would result in an unwatchable game full of video reviews. Calls will get missed, calls will get embellished, and I am fine with that so long as it is within reason. Sometimes it is outrageous but I would argue that only happens 4 or 5 out of 82 games per team. Could that be better in the future? Maybe, but lets not pretend that things are worse then they've ever been.
