FROM THE OSU/UM BOX SCORE:
 
    With the score tied 2-2 in the second period...
 
 6:38   MIC Hayes (2-cross checking)
 7:46   MIC Madden (2-high sticking)
 7:46   MIC Peach (displacing goal)
 
A penalty shot is awarded to Ohio State for the Peach penalty, and
Dufour scores.  Hayes comes out of the box on the "power play" goal,
and Michigan is now one man down.
 
# of penalties on Michigan.....3
# of goals by Ohio State.......1
# of Michigan players in box...1
Roger Graff's arithmetic:  3 - 1 = 1
 
Think of a penalty shot as a 5-second power play that expires after the
shot is taken.  The logic behind both players remaining in the box is
clear, but Roger Graff did not think it through, and "assistant
referees" Tony Molina and John LaDuke did not assist the referee.
 
 
An additional point:
 
Isn't dislodging the net a penalty shot only in the last 2 minutes of
the game?  There was not a one-on-none breakaway for Ohio State,
although accounts said Michigan goalie Malicke was out of position and
the OSU player was about to shoot at an open net.  I was always under
the impression that penalty shots were reserved for fouls from behind
on breakaways and special situations like non-goalies covering the puck
in the crease.
 
Nevertheless, GO BLUE
