I can't say ... I missed the penalty. I was getting a bit miffed at the Stars and started switching back and forth between a movie and the game. What was the call?

Just typical hockey. Modano got a loose puck behind one of our guys at our blue line and a stick got swung low and Modano fell down. OK, maybe slashing or tripping. But they called a penalty shot, which is supposed to be reserved for blatant violence against a breakaway player who is in position to score. He wasn't really "broken away" and he wasn't even winding up to shoot or anything. Let me just say that if this is a new standard for the league, we'll probably see a penalty shot every other game.

Sounds like what Modano did when he got put in the penalty box. I wish they'd just let these guys play hockey.
