And yeah based on the first couple games of this series it’s clear to me that the refs have guidance to call it tight and make sure they are giving penalties on anything after the whistle.
Flames need to stay away from that though because that plays into the Oilers favour and so far the extra penalties are going to the Flames

That's a fair assessment. But when Nurse cross checks you so hard it breaks his stick and there is no penalty call the double standard is obvious. Likewise with Keith cross checking Lindholm well after the play, and Lindholm turns around and punches his shoulder and gets a penalty.
The Oilers have spent years priming the media for the "everyone is against us" and the "Flames are so dirty" that's it's just accepted as a fact by many and has seeped into the game calls now.
