It's actually not the Flames penalties I'm too worried about, when you're stuck in your own end you're going to take penalties.
But I'm more concerned with the lack of Stars penalties in that time period.
Watching some of the games and Stars can get away with murder when they are trailing. Hooking/Holding/Interference a lot of the time which is adding to Flames inability to get out of their own end.
Couple of instances last night where Flames forward is breaking out only to get hooked/held by the Stars and then instead of the puck going deep it's a turnover in the neutral zone/at our blueline. Stars have been better while trailing but don't think they've only taken one minor in 104 minutes of hockey in that time.
