I've watched plenty of OOT games and yes, the reffing is generally quite poor, but the Flames seem to consistently get the worst and most baffling ends of it.

I wasn't totally sold on the Wideman effect but there is no other explanation for this.

I think for Rittich, he starts strong but folds like a cheap tent later on. I really think Gillies has the mental edge and the Flames know it. Look at gillies, he flubs early and gets better as the game goes on. I think they also want to run him consistently to see if they can shake that from Gillies' game.

There was a pass there for Backlund to make, instead tried to toe drag and turns it over on a 3 on 2.

They should start Rittich and switch to Gillies after about 15 minutes every game.

When Brodie finds himself on the "wrong" side of the ice suddenly he looks in his element.

Say what you want about Stajan, but he's been playing solid as a 4th liner.

[Flames Fan, Ph.D.]

Jankowski with the disdainful shove on Matta. Well done lad.

[zamler]

Game has turned into a borefest.

[djsFlames]

Monahan trying to be playmaker. Just skate that in and shoot Money.

[JJFlash]

I don't think Gillies has faced much since the second goal... I hope your right.

Having your NHL career on the line probably helps with that.

He has though.

Blatant trip on Chucky.

[Stay Golden]

Lazar almost tucked that in

?? He's been on pretty much every line in his career.

Nice hard play by Lazar there, great shift all around they are starting to wake up again

[Flash Walken]

great #### from lazar in all 3 zones

[FireGilbert]

Nice of the refs to let the Flames have a free goalie interference.

[zamler]

Damn that was close.

This isn't boring
