I saw the Kostin penalty as the referees letting a lot go during the shift but then cracking down at a certain point. It does look bad though the Danault then stands directly over McDavid for 5 or so seconds preventing him from getting up. If there is a precedent set in a tight game I can see why there would be arguing about it. I don't think it was a horrible call but the consistency is what is needed more than anything.
People here complained all the time when Tkachuk would get those iffy reputation calls and rightfully so.
