I don’t think it was fixed in some sort of grand conspiracy way. I do think this: The game was tied and without that goal both teams had a chance to win. With it, Calgary was assured win and Edmonton a loss barring a last minute goal. The officials IMO decided that it was safer to deprive Calgary of a sure win and throw it up in the air again. Betcha they were hoping for a cleaner Calgary goal. That’s some game management.
