Let me get this straight, as this is a big one. When a coincidental minor occurs, and there is/are... *no other penalties, the teams play 4-on-4. *one person in the box, the teams still play 5-on-4. *one person from each team in the box, the teams still play 4-on-4. When two coincidental minors occur, and there's no one in the box, the teams play 3-on-3. But if there is someone in the box, the numbers stay intact. (Of course, when I say "in the box," that doesn't include misconducts.) Do I have this right? +====================================================================+ |\ Jim Baines [log in to unmask] a.k.a.
