Regarding Tkachuk coming out of the box first, I have to admit that I was not familiar with that rule at first and was a little puzzled. When the Oilers considered challenging it, I thought there might have been a mistake.
I was listening to CHED for the salt intake after and Rob Brown talked about and said that it was a commonly applied rule that players and coaches know well, but that it isn't something most fans would notice or care about. It makes me wonder why Woodcroft was considering a challenge though. He must have not known about the rule. As a fan, it's understandable, but as a coach, he should probably have known.
