At some Point referee Jerry Seeman should have called both coaches Glanville and Cleveland s Marty schol to theimer together and said look from this moment on the player who throws the first punch or first shove after the whistle is out of Here no offsetting penalties either. First Guy gets hit with 15 that would have ended it when the officials weren t separating players they were consulting with in Stant replay official George Sladky the instant replay is a Good thine but getting it right is essential.
