What I
didn't agree with is that after the injured player was helped off the ice (he was fine - missed a couple of shifts but returned to the game) Ref 2 dropped the puck in Team A's defensive zone faceoff spot. Now it is the case that Team A did touch the puck last inside their defensive zone before the whistle but team B shot it in from outside the zone. Where should the puck be dropped?

Having a little trouble totally understanding what happened, but from what I read, the play was stopped when Team 'A' gained possession in their own defensive zone, correct?
If so, what Team B does in this situation is irrelevant. Team 'A' was the cause of the stoppage in their own defensive zone. Faceoff would be in Team 'A's defensive zone.
