from the Box:
                P19 UND-9 Naumenko (2-Rough)    19:25
                P20 MTU-11 Prokopetz (2-Rough)  19:25
                P21 MTU-12 Prokopetz (2-High Stick)     19:25
                                     Served by Figliomeni
                P22 MTU-13 Prokopetz (10-Misconduct)    19:25
 
 
They were coincidentals while skating 5-5 that took them down to 4-4.  then the
extra 2 min resulted in a ND powerplay, reducing it to a 4-3
 
Prokoepeitz received 4 min and ND received 2 min.  They put 2 min on the clock
for ND and 2 min up for MTU. (These were the coincidentals).  Then they should
have put up 2 more minutes for 11 as the second penalty, instead they accidently
 put up 4 minutes. (they put 19 on both, he just served the
second penalty) With the 10 min misconduct Prokopeitz received, he was sent
to the locker room (no chance for him to play again that game) so instead of
MTU having 2 men in the box there was only Figliomini serving the second
penalty.  When ND scored, the second penalty on #11 came off the board and
figliomini (#19) came out of the box, and the coincidentals were left, thus
the teams skated 4-4.
 
The confusion comes that #11 should have been put up not #19 (figi only
served the penalty) and they accidently put up 4 min instead of 2 on the clock
for the second one. plus the fact that we only had one man physically
in the box.
 
Still confused?  I had to think about that one also... ;-)
