I’m guessing they will say they realized it was three seconds at some later point, perhaps initially thinking it was in the net.
Just a horrible call and while almost all penalties are somewhat subjective this just reeks of one of the referees panicking and blowing his whistle. Could easily have cost the game as the Flames undoubtedly were about to score.
I believe that bad calls balance out but this one is just inexplicable.
