Regarding Demers punching the Linesman in the Sharks/Stars game: he did NOT need to be a given a penalty for that. Here's why
Rule 46.5
46.5 Continuing or Attempting to Continue a Fight - Any player who persists in continuing or attempting to continue a fight or altercation after he has been ordered by the Referee to stop, or who resists a Linesman in the discharge of his duties shall, at the discretion of the Referee be given a Game Misconduct or 10 minute misconduct penalty
It's the Ref's judgment...he judged Demers to not be in violation of the rule and thought it was an accident. Therefore no call.
