The league's explanation is almost as bad as the call.
The rules of the game are not rules in the NHL, just guidelines. Who knows how things will be called from game to game. Officials take lots of leeway in how calls are made, and they influence games all the time with their own idiosyncratic applications.
It makes the NHL game so much worse.
