It wasn't missed. It was ignored. That's not a crackdown penalty. His defensive holding and slashing penalties were.
Hamilton's crosscheck (offensive zone - undisciplined) and Gaudreau's delay of game (brainfart) were worse. So was Versteeg's faceoff penalty (should have known better). Bennett's calls were pretty much like the slashing call Brodie got and the hooking call Stone got.
When I think of bad, undisciplined penalties, I tend to think of selfish retaliations (like Gudbrandson's), or lazy plays, especially in the offensive zone (like Bennett had a lot at the beginning of last season)
