We won, so that's awesome. But why would a ref not be able to look at that and say "oops" and reverse the call? From where the ref was, I don't blame him - looked like a high stick from Nuge. Hell, I thought it was a penalty on the first replay as well. Wasn't till they slowed it down that I saw it. But once we saw it there was no question it was a Jets stick. A 2 minute penalty with 2 to go in a tie game is a pretty big deal. But regardless of timing or score, I'm not sure why they can't just take a minute to look at that and make the right call.

Exactly. NFL can do reviews like that all the time, quickly and don't take much time.. CFL even radios in confirmation of offside calls in real time to the refs so they know whether it was the D-Line or O-line that moved first, its seamless, its very quick and no noticeable stoppage in the game.. here we had the refs huddle and yap back and forth for 3 or 4 minutes before they decided they couldn't confirm it was an own team stick.. a call in from a NHL replay could have resolved it in a minute.. tech is there.. if the NHL refs make the wrong call on the ice then someone should be able to overturn it.. whether its the NHL itself, and/or a team challenge.
The first penalty was bogus as well, Nurse reached in with his stick, but the Jets player actually toe-picked and wiped himself out..
