Flames’ Heartbreaking Defeat Severely Impacts Playoff Hopes

CALGARY — Defrauded.

In their most crucial game of the year to date, the Calgary Flames were defrauded.

Not necessarily by the NHL`s situation room, as many at the Saddledome believed.

But by Dallas Stars goalie Casey DeSmith.

On a night of profound disappointment, where Connor Zary`s season is likely over due to a terrible collision that aggravated his left knee injury, the Flames` playoff ambitions were dealt blows from every direction.

Two goals disallowed after video reviews certainly angered Flames players, who were incredulous at losing a game where they outshot their opponents 48-20.
