When goals come off the board, in the last 10 minutes of 1 goal games, that is unquestionably a officiating factor.

An Oiler goal was also called back erroneously on a quick whistle in game 2, so it evens out.
The Coleman goal was erroneously called back, but even if the series goes to a game 6 it's far from a guarantee that the Flames force game 7.
The officiating in the series was bad, but it's not the main reason why they lost.
