Does anybody including the refs/Toronto/NHL know what is/isn’t a goal anymore. The rules change game to game. I have no clue what you can review with these challenges.
And why does Toronto always feel the need to interfere in Flames games. Never seems to happen in Oiler or Canucks games.

After that penalty shot, I figured tonight's officials were corruptible, so I bribed them very handsomely to disallow everything after that point. They made up a barely plausible excuse to nix the Flames' next goal, but they totally missed the one after that. And then in overtime, they just half-assed it and the goal ended up counting.
I learned my lesson: Some people just won't stay bought.
What a waste of a dollar!

I have to give this group a ton of credit. When this part of the schedule came up, I thought they were going to hit a wall and their shortfall of talent would be pretty fatal. On the contrary, they have kept pace with the top teams in the West in the games and now they are right in the mix for a Wild Card spot.
It's a surprise after how they looked early in the season, but I've got to say that the players and the coaching staff have put something impressive together here. When they went down 3-2, I felt myself move to the edge of my seat believing they would make a push and even when the Backlund goal was called back I had a lot of hope. Contrast that with last year when they would get down 1-0 early and it felt like the game was over.
They are winning me over for sure. Hopefully they can keep it up!

When it comes to the Flames, I fear stretches in the schedule against bubble teams and bottom feeders much more than these "prove it" games.
That's where this team will break your heart.

I had said before that 15 points in next 10 games would put the team on a 92 point pace which considering the start would be exceptional. And in the heart of the playoff race.
Now they need 13 points in 9 games.

Wasn't quiet at all, he was noticable all night long. Could have easily had 4 and honeslty probably should have had more in the 1st but Backlund couldn't handle the puck
