Are we about to climb off the bottom?

Would matching penalties call for 4 on 4? I wasn't listening directly to the game so I don't know how the ot started but Mochabear may have the right answer.

If it were matching penalties I believe it would be 3 on 3 and then once the penalties were up they would skate 4 on 4 until the stoppage of play. I was looking at Point Streak which we all know is very accurate. LOL. I would take Danny's word if he was there. PS showed Omi's penalty at the 20 min mark. I know 2 minute penalties in OT are only 1 minute but don't have a clue how a 2 minute penalty would have been handled at the 20 min mark of the 3rd. I know the last game in Knoxville that went into OT we had a penalty called and the refs tried to put 2 minutes on the board until we were screaming so hard at the linesman that he finally realized their mistake. Gotta keep an eye on those refs. Some aren't quite the brightest crayon in the box.

Sorry, Mocha...guess i spoke too soon. A press release dated Oct 27, 2009 that discussed rule changes for this season shows this:

- Minor penalties in overtime will be two minutes. They were 60 seconds last season.

According to that, it should have been Omi in the box until 3:00 minute mark of the OT period. Gamesheet shows the winning goal scored at 3:11 and 4 players each on the ice. I was home sick last night, so I don't know if that's accurate or not.

You are correct Janet. Just checked the rule book. I guess we convinced the ref to be incorrect. LOL

So what I read in the stats about 4 on 4 when Huntsville scored is a bunch of crap. I know damn well that they skate 3 on 3 in over time. And if there is a penalty than it is 4 on 3. You don't skate with less than 3 players. If a matching penalty occurs that it remains 3 on 3. Now it was mention that if you have a player serving a penalty in regulation at the end of that time then he continue serving it in over time causing you having a PK while skating 4 on 3. If that player serving a penalty in regulation has over 1 minute (1:59) to serve then all he has to serve in OT is one minute.....is all of this correct. All this came up because the winning score came while playing 4 on 4. But the worst thing is letting Huntsville score the tieing goal with 2 mins and 9 seconds left in regulation on a short handed goal......now that sucks.....

[Frenchie35]

Frenchie, I can't believe I typed what I typed earlier in the day....must have been hitting the crack pipe pretty hard.

Omi took a minor penalty at the 20:00 minute mark of the third period. Last season, any penalties in the OT period were cut in half (makine the two minute minor only 60 seconds in ot). However, a press released dated october 27, 2009 states that THIS season the penalty will remain at two minutes.

If the goal was scored at the 3:11 minute mark of the overtime period, then there was only 1:49 left to play in the period. Omi's 2:00 minute penalty was complete and was on the ice when the goal was scored. While he was in the box, it was a 4 on 3 powerplay. Once his penalty expired, it became 4 on 4, until presumably the next stoppage of play, which didn't happen because we scored. No stoppage between the time he came out and the time the goal was scored.

Does that make sense what I'm trying to say?

That makes perfect sense Janet, just goes to show why this 3 on 3 is absolutely ridiculous.
