Glen Keeney has already noted that linesman *can* call penalties, or at
least bring them to the attention of the referee. When Roy went down,
the culprit was Tkachuk, not Ahola, and although Cole didn't see the
penalty, a linesman did. It was brought to Cole's attention and he
sent Tkachuk to the box for slashing. So no one got off scot-free
that time, anyway. It was just that Walsh wanted five, not two, and he
didn't get it.
I believe the play you are referring to came in the first period when
Ahola was winding up for a shot and whacked Robitaille in the head. That
wasn't a case of Cole not seeing it, as far as I could tell, but that he
just chose not to call it (presumably because he thought it inadvertent,
with which I am inclined to agree).
HE ref McBride was one of the in-between guests over the weekend and I
believe he advocated the two-referee system. I will refuse the obvious
comment here. :-) Those who know McBride have a pretty good idea what I
was thinking (nothing dirty).

Is the list breaking a record for mail this week? Seems like it.
