What's funny is that I saw these same officials ref the St. Louis game a few games back and they sure weren't calling that game the same way.
I think there will be at least one more game like this in the series if not more where it is a constant stream of players to the box (deserved or not) and not called like a normal playoff game. It's going to be frustrating but hopefully the majority of the remaining games get a normal level of playoff officiating. Who knows anymore though.
Flames are a good road team so if they can steal both games in Pissmonton they could come back with control of the series. I think that 9pm start is way rougher on a home team than a road team too.
Hopefully Tanev can make it back. Flames miss him a ton back there.

Four total penalties in the Colorado game, twenty two last night. Seems like a totally normal discrepency.
