It seemed to myself and many other people at Saturday's UMich/Wisc game
that there was a lot of confusion when or when not to play 4 on 4 when they
 called coincidental penalties.  The incident that stands out in my mind is
 when a player from each team was given 4 min. for roughing(I think it was
 roughing).  The officials called for each team to put an extra man in the
box while they played 4 on 4 for two minutes.  They then played the last 2
 minutes of the penalties  at 5 on 5.  I know this was discussed recently
on Hockey-L but I would appreciate it if someone could clear up my
confussion.  Thanks in advance!
