The guys upstairs should know more about this and be better at their job.

But it still had no impact. THe Flames today are the same as the Flames yesterday. It's perfectely acceptable to argue that a narrowly avoided blunder (if that's what it was... I want to hear from Feaster and/or the NHLPA before I make a judgement on that) justify's consequences but what is indisputable is that it had no impact. A move that nearly had a (negative) impact is a move that had no impact because "nearly" doesn't count.
Not saying that heads should or shouldn't roll... just saying that there was no actual impact.
Close only counts with hand granades and horseshoes is what my dad always used to say.
