        As I understood it, the penalty shot was called against Marty Turco
for diliberate displacement of the goal.  If that was the case, then there
were two infractions that occured before the whistle was blown, one on
Madden and one on Turco.  Madden goes to the box to serve his penalty and
the penalty shot is taken (and scored) by Dufour.
       Here is where the debate comes in.  Michigan was already shorthanded
( minor to Hayes) and Ohio State scored on the penalty shot.  Since a goal
was scored, then should the player that made Michigan shorthanded (Hayes)
come out of the box?
        I think that the key here is that the goal was scored on a penalty
shot.  If Dufour missed the penalty shot would Ohio State had a 5 on 3
powerplay?  Now, if the goal was scored during a power play (not a penalty
shot) under the same circumstances (delayed penalty to Michigan while they
were shorthanded), the player in the box would come out and the delayed
penalty would be assed.
        Is there anything in the NC$$ rules that says when a team is
shorthanded and gets scored on , reguardless of how the goal  is scored
(power play or penalty shot), the first penalty will expire?
