The one stat that *is* affected is plus/minus. Goalies do not get
plus/minus ratings, but extra skaters do. So when UIC pulled its
goalie and scored at 6 on 6 (5), the six Flames on the ice each got
a plus 1 and the five Bronco non-goalies on the ice each got a minus 1.
 
Plus/minus is not counted on power play goals, so here's how +- went
during the game:
 
Goal by     Score      Plus/minus assigned
WM          1-0        None (pp)
WM          2-0        WM+4, IC-4 (4x4)
WM          3-0        None (pp)
WM          4-0        None (pp)
WM          5-0        WM+5, IC-5
WM          6-0        WM+5, IC-5
IC          6-1        IC+6, WM-5 (IC no goalie)
WM          7-1        WM+5, IC-6 (IC no goalie)
IC          7-2        IC+6, WM-5 (IC no goalie)
WM          8-2        WM+5, IC-6 (IC no goalie)
IC          8-3        None (pp)
IC          8-4        None (pp)
WM          9-4        WM+4, IC-6 (sh, IC no goalie)
 
So, they WMU players tallied: +4+5+5-5+5-5+5+4 = +18
and the UIC players got:      -4-5-5+6-6+6-6-6 = -20
 
What a scorekeeper's nightmare.....
