I just rewatched. It's over 35 seconds after icing when the call is made, there are three Flames lined up on the faceoff (including one tieing his laces) but the refs seemed more annoyed at the others who are still standing and talking at the bench, not even trying to skate over by the time the penalty is blown. At 2:07 (real time), you can get a good view of the ice and they literally have someone leaning against the bench when the call is made.

So if there's a case of a team taking 35 seconds and having players leaning against the bench taking a breather on the icing call next time, then that would be inconsistency. But at this point it seems pretty excessive, Peters pushed it just a bit to far, next time at least pretend to appear that you're trying to get to the faceoff dot 'quickly.'

In fact the ref who calls it isn't even paying attention to Monahan, he's yelling because they still have the wrong guy on and the Flames trade off but he blows the whistle...

Yeah I'm sure Oiler fans loved the call too...fact is they never call it.

I suggest you move on
