This raises an interesting question.  It is my understanding that, if a
delayed penalty is called against a penalty killer, the penalty
(if a minor) terminates AND the delayed penalty is nullified.
Does anyone know if two pending delayed penalties can be wiped out
by the same goal?  (I'm assuming that the stick-throwing was not called,
so the game would not have provided the answer.)
 
Cheers,
