WhineOut said that the late calls mirrored early borderline calls on the Jets, so it was fair game.
Yeah, the difference is those ones are called with 2+ periods left, Flames penalties are called in the last 7 minutes, which leaves no time to try to answer if they get scored on.
Circumstance counts for a lot.
If I had a dollar for every time a team we played took two straight penalties and committed further obvious infractions
on said penalties but for the refs to cap it there and look the other way on the extras. That's pretty well par for the course, except for the Flames late last night for whatever reason.
