Ita frustrating that the Flames just haven't been very good.

McDavid is dictating the games. Gaudreau, Lindholm, Tkachuk and Markstrom haven't really done a whole heck of a lot.

Markstrom is supposed to be the ace in the hole when the structure breaks down. He has not lived up to his own reputation.

In the regular season Um the first one to trot out "The reffing wasn't very good ,but the Flames didn't deserve to win" In the playoffs, who cares who deserves what, every play counts that can swing the game. The Flames were down by 1 and Toffoli scored on the PP to tie it up. Except the ref somehow lost sight of a puck that he shouldn't have. Like it wasn't even close.

The refs were doing the thing of taking taking the original penalty and then both retaliators. I guess I understand it, but if they actually watched the scrum they'd see who deserved what. They're so scared of influencing the game they inadvertently influence the hell out of it.

You can't tell me that the Oilers deserved 4 more PPs going into the 3rd.

Yeah the Flames weren't very good, but the refs influenced the outcome.
