The inconsistencies are a complete farce. For the first time ever, I need to take some time and evaluate whether or not this sort of BS is what I want to spend $20,000+ on each year. It's a joke. I don't think it's worth my money, my time, or my emotional investment.
The Flames didn't lose the series on that call, but it almost certainly cost them the game.

I know we'll probably never find out what the ownership group or DS/BT say to the league about the refereeing during the playoffs, but surely they have to know that these issues cost them money by sapping demand for tickets. They can't change the outcome of game 5 but the lack of accountability is a problem. I'll still cheer for the Flames but I'm not going to invest much money in it. What's the point when it looks an awful lot like there is a thumb on the scales or an overall lack of competence/consistency, whether it's Iginla in R4G6 '04, Bennett in R2G3 '15, Coleman in R2G5 '22, to name just three pretty egregious examples.
