The key here is whether there are penalties on the board. This
affects the three situations Jim outlined.
Consider the following:
* At 10:00, A1 goes off for hooking. 5x4.
* At 10:30, A2 & B2 go off for coincidentals. Since there was a
penalty on the board, substitution is allowed and the new penalties do
not go on the board. Still 5x4.
* At 12:00, A1 comes out. 5x5.
* At 12:15, A3 & B3 go off for coincidentals. A2 & B2 are still in
the box, but their penalties are not on the board. So A3 & B3 go on
the board, no substitution is allowed, and it is 4x4.
If A1's penalty had never occurred, or if TeamB had scored before
10:30, then A2 & B2 would have gone on the board and no substitution
would be allowed. Then when A3 & B3 went off, penalties would still
have been on the board and there would be substitution allowed for
A3 & B3.

I understand Charlie to be correct here. To have 3x3, we'd have to
have something like coincidentals followed by a penalty to one team
and then a penalty to the other.
>> (Of course, when I say "in the box," that doesn't include misconducts.)
Right, since misconducts don't go on the board.
Now, how about this:
* At 10:00, A1 & B1 are whistled for coincidentals and then A1 commits
a major penalty as the players are being led to the box.
The rules state that when a player from one team receives a major and
a minor at the same time, the major shall be served first. But
substitution would NOT be allowed for the minors - the rule does not
say anything about whether additional majors or misconducts are
involved, only minors. So it would be 4x4 for 2:00, then B1 would
come out and TeamB would have a 3:00 unlimited 5x4 (presuming no other
penalties). Then after the 3:00 5x4, Team B would have an additional
2:00 power play and A1 would sit until either 17:00 or if TeamB scored
between 15:00 and 17:00.
At least, that is how I interpret it...
