Maybe, if they are playing so poorly though, just kill it off. Scoring 4 on the PP hasn't happened in over 20 years.
Was it such a bad call though? You literally have a guy using the force of his entire body, this wasn't just a little forearm push, to crosscheck a player when the puck is 40' away. Then, when he is off balance and in a vulnerable position, another Vegas player body slams (wasn't a WWE body slam, but body slam none the less) him, knocking him unconscious, leaving a pool of blood on the ice. A 2 minute minor sounds fair for that? How about cross checking, interference, late hit, body slam (has the NHL made that a penalty yet, I know they've suspended guys because of it)....Would you have preferred four 2 minute minors? Eakins and Stastney put the ref in a position they never should have put him in, it was a really dumb play on the players part.
