I've been following this thread regarding Walsh putting an extra man
(Ingraham, I believe) on the ice to breakup a 2 on 1. Now, I'm not a big
Walsh fan (probably because he's been so successful while my Friars have
been stuck with Mike McShane) but I do have a question for all those who
believe Walsh somehow shattered the rules with this play: Just how much
time did he have while this 2 on 1 was developing to coordinate this grand
shuffle? I would assume he whistled for the guy and the ice and yelled
"Ingraham, get out there." Perhaps Ingraham simply jumped the gun a bit.
In any event, while I think Walsh is a superb tactician, I find it hard to
believe there was anything devious or underhanded in this incident. Now
I'll just go back to watching my Friars slide back towards 6th place...
