I understand that mistakes are made, and it's a difficult job, but this is not one of those instances. They obviously thought about how to penalize Nurse without having him ejected and suspended.

Not only that, they issued an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty to the Sharks' coach afterward for rightfully laying into them.
