I know people love to shit on this, but the officiating was some of the worst I've ever seen. Two embelishments got calls in the first, and a full 2 minute 5 on 3. I hate when johnny throws his hands up when he wants a call, but he was getting frustrated out there. They scored on those two PP in the first, then the Makar goal was the backbreaker. But the bigger problem was nobody showed up except Smith and Bennett. I don't think the series is over either, but that was probably their worst game of the whole year last night.
Yeah, I mean the hook while soft was in Macks hands and took away a scoring opportunity, but I was completely baffled when it ended up being a 5on3... I watched the replay a bunch of times and Tkachuk does jump on a bit early, but he doesnt enter the play or touch the puck. Crazy to me that they make that call to put them down 5 on 3.
Either way though, the Flames didn't show up at all. The reffing didnt help them but they allowed almost 60 shots and multiple short handed breakaways. Brodie might end up in the press box for Wednesday.
