Late in Saturday night's UW/UAA 5-5 tie, there was what appeared to be a very questionable call against the Badgers that led to the game-tying goal. The call was apparently made by the penalty timer (not the ref or asst. refs), who claimed that Brad Englehart left the box early at the end of serving a minor. As far as I know, someone at the scorer's table can't demand that a penalty be called any more than a fan in the stands can, but apparently he told an asst. ref to call the penalty, who did. The Badger radio color guy (Bill Brophy) said that he was watching Englehart and the clock and didn't see any early jump, which means to me that even if there _was_ an infraction, it was a matter of under a second. So... rulebook people, can you confirm that only the ref or asst. ref can call such a penalty (similar to the old 1-ref 2-linesmen system where even the linesmen couldn't call penalties that they saw), and not someone at the _scorer's table_? Unfortunately, the WCHA opens itself up to criticism somewhat with its local asst. refs, since the asst. ref who called the penalty at the scorer's request is from Anchorage.
