The first domino in the Flames playoff downfall was Oettinger.
That guy singlehandedly forced the Flames to play 7 games when the series should have been over in 5 at the most. Those extra games led to Tanev and Zadorov getting injured.
The next domino was the oilers being Markstrom's kryptonite for some reason, which was exacerbated by the fact that our D core was pretty much in shambles.
Then the league made sure to step on the Flames throats by over officiating every game to make sure their superstar got as much prime time as possible.
