Last night the Division III UW-Stevens Point Pointers upped their record to 10-0-1 with an 8-4 win over UW-Superior. There was a penalty situation in the game that I do not understand and I hope someone can explain it to me. Early in the 3rd period there was a pile up in our crease with 3 Pointers sprawled on the ice and one Yellowjacket jabbing at the puck underneath somewhere. It took the ref a long time to blow the whistle and when he did he gave us a 2-min delay of game which went up on the board. But he also awarded Superior a penalty shot! Can you award a penalty shot for delay? When they converted the shot, they took the delay off the board. I guess if he had missed we would have been a man down - sort of double jeapordy. All of this is too strange for me. Or maybe I just don't understand the rules as well as I thought I did.
