Sitting Engelland for Diaz was questionable. Diaz had a major mistake and also looked lost at points. Our response in the 2nd half of the second period was good to see. San Jose was turning it on hard but we slowly brought it back to flames hockey.
Refs didn't allow 3 goals. Refs didn't force them to wait too long to shoot.
C'mon, missed calls are annoying, but they don't decide games
All it comes down to is: what is a penalty? If it's defined, then why is it a penalty now but not later? I don't think the time of game should come into play. But since it does, it's frustrating when it is only on one side. And it looks VERY bad on the refs to miss the exact same calls they made mere seconds earlier, I don't even think it's arguable. A penalty is a penalty and the refs get way too much leeway, to get away with so blatantly missing the exact same call you called 30 seconds ago. How many officials are there on the ice? Are they not bound to a book of rules? Or can they just make up whatever rules they want on the fly? Too many judgement calls, should be by the book. Not like it's ever gonna change, though.
Stajan was ok conditionally but was a big reason for the turnover in the corner on the tying goal..or was it the winning goal? I can't remember. He should not have been out there given the situation..time of the game and just coming back. Shouldn't even send a guy over the boards in the last part of the third whose been out for 6 weeks. Poor coaching there, Harts. Shows he still likes the vets no matter what the situation. That was disappointing. Very disappointing and hurt our chances. Injured guy comes back, want a feel good story..well....

The Flames inability to score on the game ending PP cost them.
The Sharks are on the 3:30 train to nowhere, Flames are going places. I ain't even mad at the Sharks. I feel sorry for them that their future is so bleak
Delayed penalty in the last two minutes? Can't be passing around the puck wasting time. Rather be playing those 30 seconds 6 on 4, than 6 on 5. If you don't want to just give them the puck, just shoot it.
Anyway, that's not why they lost, just have to be a bit smarter there.
