I actually agree with the league on this call. I don't see that as interference. I think the Perry drive-by was much more complain worthy. Kesler got pushed down and in, Talbot sliding over got his pad hooked on Kesler's arm and Nurse didn't leave any room to get up. His left hand was on the end of his stick the whole time, he never "grabbed" Talbot's pad and did unlatch as he was trying for the puck. I guess he could have dropped his stick to release his hand from Talbot, but in a goal mouth scramble and a free puck that makes no sense. Plus we are talking about 2 seconds to make a decision here, slow motion replays are all well and good but it makes it seem like he had all the time in the world.

As a Flames fan if that happened to us I would be upset, but that's why we are called fanatics; but i think there have been far worse calls made than this one.
