Fact that it has been called two or three times this entire season suggests to me that it is a call rarely made. Thus not consistent.

Forgetting about the actual argument, consistently and rarity have nothing to do with each other. Just because something's rare doesn't mean it's inconsistent. What a strange assertion.
A ref could call a penalty 100% of the time a goalie plays the puck over center ice.
It might only happen once a decade, making it exceedingly rare, but it is called consistently.
I'm saying that it's rare for coaches to argue for 35+ seconds after an icing call about who's on the ice with the refs. Again, at least according to the ref, when he blew the whistle the Flames still didn't appear to have the right player on. He was sick of their bull####, which I wouldn't blame him for (if he was right, not sure who was).

Yes, like the disadvantage of being called for a delay of game if you won't get out the right players quick enough.
