NORTH DAKOTA @ Western Michigan - Saturday

[farce poobah]

Penalties don't have to be the same infraction to be coincidental. Any minors assessed at the same stoppage can be coincidental. So the example I gave you their would be 2 sets of coincidental penalties ....no time is put up on the clock, skate five on five and everybody gets out after the first whistle after two minutes. Same with what happened in the game last night....two sets of coincidental penalties....except in that case all four minutes were give to panz so he serves them all.

Interjecting here, and noting that iluvdebbies, and the game referees, got the penalty time served correct, according to the current rule book.

Rule 4 Penalties , Section 2 "minor penalties", paragraphs e and f:

e. When penalties are not in effect and not visible on the clock and one minor

penalty is assessed to one player of each team at the same stoppage of play,

these penalties shall be served without substitution.

f. When penalties are not in effect and not visible on the clock and one

minor penalty is assessed to one player of each team, with an additional

penalty or penalties (minor or major) assessed at the same stoppage of R-42 Rule 4 / penalTies

play, immediate substitutions on ice shall be made for an equal number

of coincidental minor penalties (penalties assessed during the same

stoppage of play) to each team so penalized. The penalized players

substituted for shall take their places on the penalty bench and shall

not leave the penalty bench until the first stoppage of play after the

expiration of their respective penalties. Penalties of the players for

whom substitutions have been made shall not be taken in into account for

the purpose of the delayed penalty rule (see 4-8-a).

Note they define "coincidental" as occurring at the same stoppage of play (and not whether the same infraction is called).

I can not, because I don't have the video. It wouldn't be very good if I could. I have all of Friday's goals though. Sorry.

Aww ok

I know that rule exists, but I don't believe it explains the penalties called at the same time being served in different segments of the game, as happened here. TH was confused, and the timekeeper was confused, so it probably doesn't happen often, or ever. I've never seen it, given that at least a couple posters think as I do here, it must be rarely called this way, if it's even possible by the rule. As for iluvdebbies, I should be careful what I ask for
