It's just the way things go in sports sometimes and it sucks to be on the wrong side of it but I don't understand the need for this thread as it's the kind of woe is me thread I would expect on an Oilers, Canucks, or Leafs forum. The team blew a 2 goal lead at the end of the day and have nobody to blame but themselves for losing the game. One good thing about being a Flames fan is that I feel we conduct ourselves better than some other Canadian fanbases. Lets not change that and become a bunch of whiners that blame everyone else for the state of our team.

It was not the correct call. It was at least ambiguous whether Tavares touched the puck with his stick after Coleman touched it with his glove, negating the hand pass so the call on the ice should have stood.
