Doesn't matter. The rules to protect centres would still apply to everyone. So if say, Ekholm, was laying on Rooney, it'd be the same. And Oilers fans would throw a #### fit over it.
Also someone laying on top of another guy is hardly grounds for protection. And has been pointed out by pretty much every analyst, pundit, etc the Oilers possessed the puck during that event. They blow the play dead, Oilers whine. They kept it alive, Oilers whine anyway and we get the retaliation.
