don't know if it was operator error or a feature flaw, but i noted the
following two "glitches" at last nite's game in the springs.
 
There were coincidentals and one team got another penalty, making it 4 on 3.
The man up team scored and the remaining time for the odd minor remaineed
on the clock (though the teams skated 4 on 4) until the coincidentals
completed.
 
One team, already a man down, got two more penalties.  The third penalty
did not show on the scoreboard.  The third penalty did appear after the
first one ended.  The scoreboard certainly looks like it can display 3 (or
more) penalties simultaneously.  Incidentally, the boxkeeper let the first
player out in error (possibly because the third penalty wasn't on the
board) resulting in a center ice faceoff but no too many men call.
