In response to "What I wonder is how much of an outcry there would have been if it had gone in." by David

I think the narrative in that case would have been

"there was only a minute left anyway and comeback was really unlikely at that point. The linesman should be better at getting out of the way, but it was probably over at that point anyway."

Sadly, refereeing in the women's game has not gotten substantially better in the last dozen or so years. Not just in running a game and such, but in positioning as well. That's a mistake you'd never see an experienced NHL linesman make.
