Just because a call is by the book doesn’t mean it’s a good call. Terrible judgement IMO.
But whatever. Picked up a point where we could have easily been shutout.

I believe "by the book" is when the player is 15 feet from the bench the replacement player can jump on the ice. Weegar was 3x that distance from getting off the ice. To not make that call in this situation would be throwing the book away.
