Rule review timeouts

I think we have to take a look at the timeout rule. There was some confusion near the end of the game when it was 3 to 2 for the oilers. Even though the timeout was called late as the video showed shouldnt the play be stopped so the players on the ice could be in position to defend with 4 minutes left in a one goal game of the finals. Common sense would dictate if there is a dispute of a play everyone is given a chance to be ready to get back in the game. Its a small area of play and if all the oilers think there is a timeout it would only make sense for the referees to stop the play, cancel the timeout and then ask the canuck player to resume play. just some thoughts for next season and timeouts.
