A situation occured in tonight's game between Ohio State and Toronto which
really didn't seem right to me.  There was an altercation in front of the
Toronto net which resulted in several penalties being called.  Two players for
Ohio State where charged with minors (one for roughing and the other for
charging) and one player for Toronto was charged with a double minor (for
roughing.)  All penalties were deemed "coincidental" and as such both teams
skated full strength.  Under the old system, Ohio State would have been
shorthanded for two minutes (4-3) and then on the powerplay (5-4) for two
minutes.  While full substitution certainly increases participation, it
significantly changes the complexion of the game!
