Its an obscure rule/call but the right one.
havent seen it called in many a year though, thats for sure.

Im not saying it was the wrong call, but it certainly isnt ''boneheaded''. There is a bit of a difference between coming off the bench and the penalty box.
You're not waiting for a teammate so the thought of too many men isnt present. Right call, but I expect any other NHL player to make a similar one
