Out of all the inconsistent rule calling that one is probably the most inconsistent. Don’t really care though. I have no problem with what Goodrow did, he is in the same weight class as Bennett and gave Bennett tons of time to get ready to fight. I would want the Flames player doing the same thing if roles were reversed. The rule is in place to stop cheap shots from happening and I don’t think what Goodrow did is anywhere close to cheap.
Plus losing Lomberg for two games is essentially a non punishment as far as I am concerned
