The reffing in the first period was an issue for sure.

Calling all of the Coronato, Huberdeau x 2 penalties means the Flames have to play passive the rest of the game.

Coronato's call was a dive and stick was nowhere near his feet or skates. Huberdeau's first call Huberdeau is just going where he needs for his defensive position and the guys skates into him as much as he skates into the guy. Huberdeau's stick slash call is a penalty but I hate that when a guy has one hand on his stick and drops it.

And I think that's what we saw the rest of the game was a team that wasn't playing as aggressive on their defensive zone coverage or forecheck at the risk of taking another penalty.

Poor reffing in the first set he whole tone for the game.
