Had a situation come up in Sunday night's UNO-Bowling Green game that I
hadn't seen before.
 
Situation:  UNO is skating on the power play when Bowling Green sends a
clearing pass down the center of the ice.  UNO goalie Jason Mitchell
skates out into the slot area, ostensibly to get the puck back up ice and
try to catch BG in a change.  Mitchell whiffs on the attempt, the puck
sliding between his skates. With a BG skater bearing down on him, he drops
and covers the puck.  The referee calls him for delay of game, I'm
assuming because he was out of the crease when he did it.  Is this really
the rule?  Was he really supposed to try and out-stickhandle the guy with
the far less cumbersome gear and stick?  How does the actual rule read?
 
Anyone?  Anyone?  Bueller?
