Actually, Patrick only got a 2-minute minor for high sticking. Had it
been considered "violent", the official would have been obliged to
assess a DQ!
Why were matching "roughing" penalties assessed instead of hitting after
the whistle? (I don't know!)
Why did only Prestin get a "punching" penalty, when most reports had
both parties ... partying? (I don't know!)
You cannot get a misconduct for fighting/punching. You can get a
misconduct for failing to heed the orders of an official. Examples
include continuing an altercation after the official says "OK, break it
up, boys". Other activities can earn a misconduct such as spitting at
(anyone), failure to go to the penalty box, certain gestures and words,
and other lovely actions such as abuse of officials and unsportsman-like
conduct.
Unfortunately, Mr. McAdoo's box lists only the variety of penalty
(10-minute misconduct instead of the infraction) and USCHO Box Scores
omit penalties. :-(
At least one former HEA Commissioner would have Mr. Ryan sit out Friday's
game, but the current one let's them play.
Was the pair of losses enough of a learning experience, or will some
Black Bears not get to suit up against Northeastern? My guesses are
no and no!
(OK, so I should get a 2-minute instigating penalty!)
Finally, in case it's not obvious: I'm not a referee, though I've
participated in refereeing clinics and read the rule book more than a
few times.
cheers, wayne BRING ON DEM HUSKIES!
