But to be fair it was clear she didn’t know the rule when she started talking about it. She was focused on whether he got the puck first and then something about follow through which I couldn’t understand.

There’s no agenda and as you point out it was a fair enough call.

They certainly don't get the calls other top teams or star players get

It's for player safety... or at least, the illusion of it.
