You can see all the promotion about this series already and there's no way it would be promoted the same if the Flames were the opponent as there wouldn't be Gaudreau vs MacKinnon promotions. This matchup is better for the NHL unfortunately for Flames fans.
I'm kind of over this really as I didn't see anything in game 5 that indicated the Flames were reverting to their successful style of play they would have needed to do to win three consecutive games. I'm more upset how bad the team was than the call as this was a horribly played series by the Flames. Worst I can remember.

well if it counted that would have likely been one game...so they would have needed to win a whole two in a row.
"they probably would have lost anyway" is just a terrible argument. Imagine the Canes or Pens were gifted a game when up 3-1 because they were probably gonna win anyway.
I hope the Oilers get screwed by a call next series...Avs are probably gonna win anyway, why bother even playing?
