The cross check is not within the rules of the game, and if this major penalty was called during the regular season there would have been virtually no talk about it. The talk is due to Vegas using this extended PK to royally crap the bed in such a tremendous way that no one has ever even seen before.

Refs told Gallant on the ice the call was a crosscheck to the face.
They called a crosscheck to the face.
They botched the call. End of story.
