Yeah, so you're probably feeling lower than a worm's belly if you're Tomas Nosek of the Florida Panthers today.
Can't imagine that Skate of Shame(TM) could have been a whole lot of fun for him after the Edmonton Oilers scored the overtime-winner on his puck-over-glass-delay-of-game penalty in Game 1 of the NHL's Stanley Cup final.
There are a lot of detractors when it comes to this NHL rule. A lot of observers believe puck over the glass should be treated the same as icing.
Is it overly punitive? Maybe. But what makes the penalty so good is that it is really the only one in the rulebook that is not open to interpretation.
You have the puck on your stick in your own zone. You are forced to make a skill play. If you don't, you sit for two minutes and feel shame.
There's something refreshing about knowing that there's at least one penalty in the NHL that's called with the same consistency from pre-season games to the Stanley Cup final.
