Hopefully they do not add more replay to the game, it has not been a good experiment nor does it help get the calls right. Not in its current implementation anyway.
The refs got that one right last night. It kind of looked like a two time play in football, Eakins teed him up and Stastny pounded him down. You have to call that a five and to be honest Vegas plays the game on the physical edge all the time. Its a case of "if you live by the sword, you die by the sw...er...ref.
From the referee supervisor:
The referees called a cross-checking penalty for an infraction that caused a significant injury, series supervisor Don Van Massenhoven said in a statement. In their judgment, the infraction and its result merited a major penalty.
I thought the Sharks dominated the game and eventually broke through,...oh and the Eakins goal looked like a high stick.
