""The interesting part was watching who Clarkson put out to take the
penalty shot - none other than the major penalized Saper!  They even
went so far as to have another player hold his spot in the penalty box.
Can it possibly be legal for a player who has just been hit with a
major penalty to be allowed to participate immediately in the game and
given a prime opportunity to score?""
 
 
 GREAT CALL...
