The wrong call you made ultimately cost us the entire season. The puck was clearly in the net, past the cross bar from the overhead view and then Getzlaf grabs it, inside the net. From a Flames fan, the call that was made in Toronto was a travesty and everyone in the "war room" should be ashamed of themselves. A lot of people in Calgary wish hurt on you fools. Look into getting some higher quality cameras and maybe you won't be embarrassed in the future. Don't make the wrong call and cost a team it's season. Absolutely unbelievable!!!!

It is obvious upon video in the game between Calgary and Ducks that the puck was pull out of the net. You guys SUCK! May of even cost a team a chance to make the playoffs. Haha, now the refs are making a bunch of bad calls against the ducks to try to make up for your mistake. What a show. I am done with this hockey.Lame, Very Lame You guys are incompenent.

Important games are being decided by officiating, not actual gameplay.The officiating has been consistently inconsistent. It is very exasperating. I expect this to be further highlighted as the playoff spots become more highly contested. It is hard to explain the rules of hockey to new fans when they say, "Hey, wasn't that a penalty" or "Hey, that wasn't a penalty". We're still relatively fresh out of a lockout and still recruiting new and fallen off the wagon fans. I'm sure if we exasperate them with shoddy officiating, they'll switch to a sport that will at least consider a replay option.I like that at least in football, if your team loses by a call, you can see the replay and know that you really lost. In hockey, its up to the official making the call in the moment. Its pretty subjective, and depending on the flow of the game, it may or may not get reviewed. There needs to be a better standard. I agree Mr. Steevens. After watching the premature whistle that stopped play a split second before St. Louis scored against Chicago tonight, I have to agree.
