Considering that Cornell has already been in one game with 200+ penalty
minutes (Union) and another with close to that (Princeton), one has to
wonder whether this game should be considered either
 
1)  A rectifying of statistical anomalies so that Cornell, like any other
team averages a normal amount of penalties per game (an averaging ut so to
speak)
 
2)  A clearly poorly refereed game since obviously Cornell doesn't play
penalty free or even limited penalty hockey.
 
or
 
3)  A display of the clearly inconsistent style of the ECAC referees.
 
I'm inclined towards (3).  Just thought I'd comment.
