Talbot plays the puck at 2:05 (when this screen grab occurs and the change begins). Keep in mind The linesman does not put his hand up at any point for a delayed call. The linesmen then allows Detroit the opportunity to enter the zone and make a play at which point 9 seconds after the line change started he calls the play dead and issues a penalty only after Calgary is advancing up the ice.
Do you not see an issue with that? Either blow the call dead when it occurs or let the play continue.. you can’t decide it’s a penalty 9 seconds later and only after allowing the opponent a free zone entry and potential scoring opportunity.
