CHICAGO (CP): The Calgary Flames recent turnabout in form came to a crashing hault last night here in Chicago against the Blackhawks. The Flames, who had compiled a four game unbeaten streak, were shut-out for the first time this season.
Calgary head coach Brian Sutter had only one issue to comment on, the quality of refereeing in the game. "They had seven &*^(ing power plays to our two. Our players were getting roughing calls in that second period for sneezing on Chicago players."
The coach was particularly aggrieved by the charging call on Jon Girard that led to Konowalchuks power-play goal, "That was a fair hit in the neutral zone. We couldn't establish any momentum in that second period, where we had one penalty after another. Tell the league to send me the fines. This was one of the worst nights of refereeing I have ever witnessed in this league."
