Now I feel less bad for Naslund when he missed the puck completely!

Flames, Oilers fans raise nearly $20,000 for charity after Tkachuk-Kassian skirmish
An unhappy Kassian later said he has "a long memory" and "that gave me some clarity about what you can do and can't do now," in reference to the lack of supplemental discipline against Tkachuk.
Flames fans disagreed, and started a fundraising campaign to place billboards with Tkachuk's face plastered on them across Edmonton.
When the campaign reached $3,053 in less than 24 hours, surpassing its $2,500 goal, a local radio station stepped in to say it would handle the billboards, and the fundraiser money would now be directed toward ALS research. That GoFundMe page now says it has raised $3,738.
Like Kassian, Oilers fans felt the need to strike back. On Tuesday, Twitter user @SamInYEG posted a donation receipt to the charity Brown Bagging For Calgary's Kids "so that kids can get a proper meal and grow up to be tougher than Tkachuk."
On Wednesday, @SamInYEG posted an update that Brown Bagging had received 169 donations totalling $6520.88 and over 3,000 lunches — in less than 24 hours.
Her latest Twitter update revealed more than $10,000 had gone to the charity. Dragon's Den personality W. Brett Wilson also pledged to match donations up to that number, as well as another $5,000 to the Edmonton shelter of @SamInYeg's choosing.
Combined with the Calgary efforts, that's nearly $20,000 in donations as a result of a relatively minor skirmish in the Battle of Alberta.
Was so confused when watching, but apparently it's not a too many men penalty if it's to sub the goalie.
71.1 Premature Substitution - When a goalkeeper leaves his goal area and proceeds to his players’ bench for the purpose of substituting another player, the skater cannot enter the playing surface before the goalkeeper is within five feet (5’) of the bench. If the substitution is made prematurely, the official shall stop play immediately unless the non-offending team has possession of the puck -- in which event the stoppage will be delayed until the puck changes possession. There shall be no time penalty to the team making the premature substitution, but the resulting face-off will take place at the center ice face-off spot when play is stopped beyond the center red line. When play is stopped prior to the center red line, the resulting face-off shall be conducted at the nearest face-off spot in the zone where the play was stopped. In all other situations not covered in the above, a minor penalty may result for “too many men on the ice” (see Rule 74)
Winnipeg Jets centre Mathieu Perreault back-tracked on his comments he made on Thursday about retaliating against the next player who elbows him. Perreault explained how his emotions got the best of him but that he still maintains his frustration that no action was taken for the incident.
It's the Year of the Rat. Is Brad Marchand going to have the best year of his career?
It's interesting how at one point, he was pretty much a pest like Burrows, but looking at his stats, he's putting up very impressive numbers now.
I don't watch him so I don't know if he's piggybacking a lot of points from linemates, but at what point do we look at him and say, he's a pest but he's actually an elite player?
