They got the call right by the letter of the rule, but that really doesn't feel like what the spirit of the rule is. It was the right call on a technicality, but I have a hard time not believing he didn’t intend to have possession or attempted possession.

If this had happened to the Flames we'd be livid right now.
I remember a similar play against us a couple years ago, and I remember being livid. However, looking back at the rule, and the no touch, it was the right call. Same thing here.
