I agree with Roenick. Dougie is far more suspendable than Ferland. I think the match penalty call was right on Ferland. Dont think there'll be much more.

Folks forget that refs are making calls in real time. In real time thay Ferland hit looked as bad as it gets. Passing judgement on a call because we have slow motion replay is not fair.

Again, Roenick made a good point that on major calls refs should be able to watch a replay to get the call right. It's another thing that'll slow the game down but at least they'll have the ability to maybe call the game better.

That's something that has been and will be looked at again I'm sure by GMs.

Either way. Dougie should get 2 for that elbow. That was on a star player and as cheap as it gets.
