Carc and Q were positing that it was the plastic used in the stick. It was LaSalla's (the FOGO) stick and they thought the plastic was misshapen by his clamps. He was 18-27 last night and was rarely beat on the clamp.
Yes, I heard them explain that as well. If it is just the pocket,mesh only) that is too deep then it is a 1 minute penalty. If the dimensions of the head are "off" and the ball doesn't roll out then it is considered an "altered" stick and 3 minutes. After one face-off, I saw Lasalla get checked by the LSM, several strong stick checks and no ball movement. I think it was prior to the next face-off that the refs checked his stick. They turned that thing upside down and the ball just stayed in the pocket.
