I agree fully but I would like to know the thought process around not rewarding a penalty shot. That is as clear as it gets.
It makes you wonder if the ref in that moment recognizes that the score is 2-1 Flames and another goal virtually puts the game away with that being Johnny on a breakaway, thus awarding a penalty instead thinking the Wings have a better chance at killing a PP than a Johnny penalty shot.
The point is getting the call right, especially the obvious ones, that isn't a 50/50 call. Granted we won but imagine the Wings won in OT after tying it late. It would be far worse.
