The Flames have won 45% of their games this year but are somehow going to win 65% of the remaining 23. I can appreciate the optimism but that kind of drastic change is highly unlikely.
I've slammed Sutter all year but not challenging that 3rd goal was the right call in my opinion. Did we really expect the refs to take that one off the board? In Vegas, to tie the game, late stages of the 3rd, after such an obvious BS call on WD to "game manage" the Knights back into the game in the 2nd, no way that was being reversed. They would have been shorthanded for sure after that one.
Incredibly boneheaded play by Backlund in OT. He's been good as of late but the tendency of the vets to just do incredibly stupid things seems to be a common theme on this team.
