I am more annoyed with the play before. I thought the trip on Backs was blatant and embarrassing that it wasn’t called.

The Flames had a 6-2 advantage in penalties drawn/ taken. 5-2 in judgement penalties. (Josi delay of game)
That is a huge difference that is outside the norm especially that any time that you touch an opponent with your stick COULD be called a penalty.
just using last night as a sample
wings-habs 2-1
sens-wild 4-4
stars-jets 2-4
rangers-canucks 5-6
sabres-sharks 2-1
devils-ducks 5-7
yotes-flyers 0-3
The Flames 6-2 pp advantage really sticks out. Just NHL reffing at its finest. There was no expectation that the refs would make it 7-2 in OT unless it was a delay of game or too many men.
The call on Tkachuk could be interference as Josi was headed to the bench for a line change and Chucky blocked his way as he is apt to do.
