I have a question about accounting for penalty minutes.  The numbers
produced for the Beanpot games at the Fleet Center did not include any
minutes for the various misconducts and disqualifications handed out,
while most of the college game boxes I have seen do include these.
They are usually assigned 10 minutes each, even for game DQ's, in those
cases.  Is there any hard and fast rule, or does everyone do it
differently?  I can see the case for not listing the minutes in the
totals, because you don't actually serve a man down for those types of
penalties, but at the same time it misleads you when you read the box
scores into thinking it was not a physical game.
 
I listed the penalties in the BC-NU game counting 10 minutes for each
misconduct and each game DQ, and I prefer that method, but I am curious
if others prefer it the Fleet Center way?
