ah, there's the rub. People are wrong. USCHO is NOT the primary
source of information, Hockey-l is. USCHO has made a decision to NOT
include the penalties. I know because i've sent them box scores with
misspellings and penalties included. The misspellings have stayed and
the penalties have gone. Thus, to me, Hockey-l (and its derivatives)
provide BETTER and MORE VALUABLE information than USCHO. Maybe that's
why I fight so hard to keep hockey-l as valuable as it has been. If
people stop posting the information here, it WON'T be available at
all.
