I'm the same. The atrocious officiating has kinda ruined playoff hockey for me. For decades I've been used to watching fast, hard hitting, tight checking, exciting post-season hockey where the refs put their whistles away for the most part and let the teams battle it out. The way the game is being called now with the constant game management crap is a joke.
Also, as I've gotten older, I'm just not as emotionally invested in sports as I was when I was in my teens and 20s. If the Flames win, it's exciting and I enjoy the ride. If they lose then meh, whatever. It's just entertainment at the end of the day and it's really not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.
That being said, losing to the this garbage one-trick pony Oilers team is still hard to stomach...so please Flames. Just beat these clowns already.
