Define 'marginal'. I've been watching games all week and, if the game is tied, as soon as the last 5 minutes of the third rolls around you can get away with murder from there on out.

I hate the theory that says refs should call the game any differently based on what the situation is. If it is a penalty in the 2nd peroid of a 5-0 game it should be a penalty in double-OT of a game 7.
