i get there is more to this post then the singular comment on the penalty (i dont know about all that, so i cant judge one way or the other), but the penalty was dumb, it's not really debatable.

Let's move past the fact that a minute or two earlier, we abused their goalie (i dont have a problem with either team here - if UVM doesnt want their goalie getting lit up, he shouldnt be running all over the place with the ball), Curry clearly shot on goal after the whistle.  In pretty much any sport that involves a goalie, this is a no-no.  88 on UVM, rightfully took exception, hit Curry late and high, and got flagged for it.  Scanlan comes over, and gets a couple little digs on 88, right in front of the ref, then takes the slash that draws the flag.  Our advantage is wasted, and Scanlan accomplished nothing.  I mean, i get what he was trying to do, but ti was dumb, and frankly, not well executed.

You take the kid's number, enjoy your minute of antagonistically well-earned man-up, then get your digs in later when you can avoid/mitigate negative consequences.  Scanlan's response was weak -- both mentally and physically.

Having said all of that, I'm happy Scanlan got some of his scoring mojo back today.  I though he cleaned up his game a lot, and really rode hard again.
