I can't remember what happened right before and Hartley subbed in McGrattan at the last second. I get they wanna defend the small guys but why goon it up with 5 minutes to go when you're up 4-1? stupid IMO, in a regular season game against a good team, taking that many penalties at the end could have easily ruined the game for them. I don't blame the refs, it was pretty obvious what Hartley was trying to do. The refs aren't gonna let that fly too often nowadays  all's well end's well I guess

What the refs catch was immaterial that game. The refs missed Scheifele's cross check to the back of the head and somehow the blatant trip on Johnny Hockey entering the zone, and somehow the Flames got the next penalty. Let's chalk it up to the refs being in pre season
