the exact reason for the weird penalty was as follows:
the teams have to be on the ice 7 (or 6???)minutes before the beginning of the
game
the eagles showed up 6 (or 5??)minutes before the beginning of the game
so they were a minute late
thats why they got the penalty
the thing about the home team being on the ice first is not as strict a rule
and the usually don't penalize for that
