Games are always managed to some extent. And usually when a team kills off a 5 on 3 late in a tie game, the whistle go away for a bit for that team, otherwise the reffing looks slanted.
They opted for slanted and spoiled a great tightly contested game.
Next time that situation comes up you won't see a third call against the same team in that situation. Someone had a bone to pick with the Flames leadership group here I think, otherwise you don't see that last call.
It's really too bad and the game deserved better than to be decided that way.
