Talking of double standard? It does not come as a surprise at all. Come to think of it if they could not see the goal in 2004/05....they can see nothing. But the Flames are not the only victims here. Look what happened in Pittsburgh last night? Who would have believed the Flyers being two men short in OT. One thing is for sure, elite teams need more favors than non elite things because they have to maintain their repertoire. And it isn't about more revenue..... there is more spice than one can spell. Once it was Oilers who reigned, today somebody else does.

I never, ever believed in an NHL conspiracy against ANY team, but it is a fact that an American team brings in tons and I mean tons of more revenue and also greatly increases exposure to the NHL.

I'm in total agreement with you. I hate to sound like a whinner but as far as I'm concerned the Flames won the Cup back in 2004 but oh no, another blown call that goes against the Flames. As you said, I hope this starts a fire under the Flames and they come out with even more determination now. Go Flames Go!!!
