Phantoms влетели Binghamton`у 2-4, причем наши сделали 50 бросков

It was really a match penalty to Straka. There was some confusion between the on and off ice officials.

Beach and Straka were rolling around on the ice near the home penalty box. It lasted for a good 30 seconds, and it was very close, with linesmen involved so it was very tough to see what was going on. There were also other distractions, as Phantoms goalie Cal Heeter shot the puck the length of the ice at the Hartford goalie. The two met at center ice as there was a media timeout, but just tapped gloves and continued on.

Once Beach and Straka were put in their penalty boxes, it was pretty clear what had happened. First Straka left for the dressing room, holding one of his eyes. Then Beach was standing in his box, pleading with the linesman to allow him to skate to the bench for medical attention, holding his eye as well. Beach was allowed to, and in a state of confusion attempted to walk into the Zamboni pit before being stopped by Hartford off-ice personnel. He did skate to the locker room under his own power, holding the eye.

I do not see Kantor doing anything to receive any penalty in the incident, so his must have been verbal. After the announcement of the penalties, including the 5 minutes for fighting to Straka, the referee skated to the Phantoms bench and clarified the call saying "It is a match".

I score it a ten because I do not remember seeing a double eye gouging in a fight. It appears that both players had their left eye gouged.
