I rarely agree with Dave Fischer (just kidding Dave! :-) ) However, his comments about assists and how they are scored in the WCHA is very good. I wished all of the leagues would do it the same as is done in the WCHA. It is very hard to both follow the game and to know who actually touched the puck in complicated situations. I have seen announcers fail to pick up who is even on the ice in these circumstances. (In one case, a team had changed a goalie at the half way point in the third and the announcer failed to notice this until after the game was over!) While replay is perfect, it sure beats my temporary memory cells. (Even Dave Fischer sometimes beats my memory cells!) Where tape was not used, I have seen assists awarded to players DQ the night before. In one case, even the scoring goal was scored to the wrong person. In any case using replay tapes to assign assists if far more accurate than any other method I know of. Walt Olson MTU
