and Wit was directly responsible for the second Stars goal by failing to clear the puck when he had a chance to...
The Wit fight was clearly frustration from his part, due to his overall bad play. But the extra 2 mins he got was also a joke. How can get a roughing call mixed with a fight call ??
I maybe naive...but i still had some playoffs hopes after the Hawks game, but yesterday ? All hopes died down. It's time to start unloading ....

---They explained it. Wit basically got the instigator penalty, but instigator penalty is extra 10+2. So, they only gave him extra 2 doing him a favor and not penalizing for the extra 10.

Of course i heard that, but since when the refs can manipulate the rules ?...so if it was an instigator then give an instigator !
overall in this league the officiating is very poor, maybe the game is too fast for the human eye...

The extra 2 was a BS call. There was no roughing or instigating there, both parties dropped mitts and fought. I'm just not a fan of the guy, its nice to have a guy who can fight but he's not a very good player, doesn't get a lot of icetime and what those type of players do is know they're not gonna play much so they pad the only stat they can -- that is penalty minutes. Last night was just another stupid night for him...3:27 TOI, responsible for one minus for an even strength goal and then the xtra 2 they score the game winner on the power play. To me we're a BETTER team when Witkowski butters popcorn as a scratch.

i don't know if it was instigator or not, but looking at the sequence, when the hit was done Wit saw that and jumped over a player on the ice just to reach Johns...
if this is not instigator i don't know what it is...
..but you are righ Shawn, they call it roughing !!
