Fight night in Minnesota.


If you cross check someone in the face with your carbon fiber stick, people aren't going to respond kindly to said action. Minnesota's Seth Helgeson and Tech's Carl Nielsen square off in what appears to be a fight, however, the refs called the "non-fight" a roughing penalty. In fact, both players involved in the event were given a (3 x 2 min for roughing + 10 min misconduct = 16 minutes in penalties). I have never seen anyone get a triple minor for roughing and a 10 minute misconduct.


Here is how the ref scored the exchange.
MTU-9 Carl Nielsen (2-Roughing) 18:29
MTU-10 Carl Nielsen (2-Roughing) 18:29
MTU-11 Carl Nielsen (2-Roughing) 18:29
MTU-12 Carl Nielsen (10-Misconduct) 18:29
MIN-7 Seth Helgeson (2-Roughing) 18:29
MIN-8 Seth Helgeson (2-Roughing) 18:29
MIN-9 Seth Helgeson (2-Roughing) 18:29
MIN-10 Seth Helgeson (10-Misconduct) 18:29
