Actually, this is getting complicated, because several people siting intimate knowledge of the rulebook have had VERY different answers. These are those discussed by the Cornell answers last night. Scenario: Cornell is already a man down when they are whistled for a delayed penalty during play, and Colgate scores before a stoppage. 3 questions: 1) Who's in the penalty box after the play? The guy who committed the penalty causing the delayed call. And this is in fact the way it was called last night. This is simply a case of "the guy who caused the shorthanded situation come out of the box." 2) Who would have been, if this had occured last season? No one. A goal on a delayed penalty used to wipe out both the delayed penalty and the one that caused the shorthanded situation. There is much disagreement over when this rule was changed, but likely within the last couple of years. So perhaps it's if it had occured two years ago. 3) Who would have been, if this had occured 10 years ago? The announcers thought that it was, in fact, the originally penalized player, on the theory (see Chris Craig for a well-thought-out defense) that a goal simply wipes out a delayed call. At some point in the dim recesses of history, a goal did not wipe out a penalty, and so both guys would have been in. So there you have it: four theoretical possibilities, and each has, at some point, been NCAA law. How's THAT for rule consistency? Two related questions which, I think, should inform the discussion: 1. If Colgate were to be penalized during the delay, would the penalties be treated exactly like coincidentals (i.e., would the teams still skate 5-on-5)? 2. Is a goal scored on a delayed penalty recorded as a powerplay goal? Does the player receive 2 minutes in the record books? Greg
