Speaking on TSN Radio 1050s TSN Drive with Dave Naylor on Monday, Colangelo said he had no intention of tanking the shortened 2011-12 season, but definitely wanted a high pick in the draft. "I wish that word wasnt used for headline reasons," said Colangelo, "but the story behind it was: how can we fix the system? How can we tweak the system to make it less likely that teams are rewarded for losing records? "I do believe that if youre as transparent as we were at the time - with our season seat holders, our fans, the market place and the media - everybody knew what the plan was and what we were going through.Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca. Dear Kerry, In Saturdays game between Minnesota and Dallas, an altercation erupted when Minnesotas Ryan Carter shoved Dallas Stars defenceman Trevor Daley into the Dallas netminder. During the ensuing melee, Stu Bickel is engaged with a Dallas opponent when Daley jumps in to participate in the existing fight. Daley holds Bickels arms at his side while the Dallas teammate lands a punch on Bickels face. While the Minnesota players clearly deserved to be responded to by the Dallas players on the ice due to Carters actions, I was surprised that Daleys actions did not warrant a third man in penalty. Did the officials on the ice get this one right because the Wild players were deserving of a response, or did the officials miss this one that should have been called? When would a player get a third man in penalty? Thanks, Chris Los Angeles, California, USA Chris: After Trevor Daley was aggressively shoved to the ice by Ryan Carter and a scrum quickly developed, it was apparent that Daleys initial intention was to act as a peacemaker by grabbing Stu Bickell in the crease and attempt to prevent him from attacking Jason Demers. Once the players separated however, and a full blown fight developed between Bickel (instigator and aggressor) and Demers, the subsequent bear-hug wrap of Bickel by Daley behind the net constituted a third man in situation. Going to the aid of a teammate that was being pummeled might earn Daley additional respect around his dressing room but it does not negate the application of the third man in penalty unless a match penalty was being imposed in the original altercation. Since that was not the case, Daley should have received a roughing minor and game misconduct under rule 46.16 - third man In. The bear-hug from behind pinned Bickels arms at his side rendering the Minnesota player unable to defend himself and allowed Demers to land two hard direct hits to Bickels face. The third man in rule was instituted for this very purpose, namely to prevent a two on one situation in a fight that provides a distinct advantage to one player and could result in serious injury. The rule was also initiated to prevent a gang warfare mentaality that often resulted in line brawls and bench clearings during that era of the game.dddddddddddd Rule 46.16 (third man In) is written in very general terms and states that a game misconduct, at the discretion of the Referee, shall be imposed on any player who is the first to intervene (third man in) in an altercation already in progress except when a match penalty is being imposed in the original altercation. This rule also applies to subsequent players who elect to intervene in the same or other altercations during the same stoppage of play. Despite the lack of clarity as to what level of player intervention is required for a referee to apply a third man in penalty, it is incumbent upon the referees to understand the spirit and intent of this rule as I described above in order to apply their discretion properly. This particular situation, like other infractions that occur on a less frequent basis, require that the referees be updated and coached by the Officiating Department on an ongoing basis so the officials have a clear understanding of when to impose the proper penalty. The application of the 3rd man in and instigator rules have been watered down and even lost to some degree in recent years for a variety of reasons. Attrition of the officiating staff has brought in younger and inexperienced referees and fighting incidents are becoming less frequent within the game. Many referees demonstrate a reluctance to impose these penalties. Perhaps it is a lack of clear understanding as to what is expected or even a fear that their penalty will subsequently be rescinded by Hockey Operations should the team lodge a formal protest, as is often the case. This altercation quickly progressed from a roughing minor penalty that was being assessed to Carter for needlessly knocking Daley to the ice after the play was dead, to a scrum and then two separate fights taking place simultaneously. Trevor Daleys initial intervention could be overlooked as a peacekeeping mission. Once the players moved from the crease area and punches were being exchanged between Bickel and Demers however, the bear-hug by Daley provided a distinct advantage to his teammate and could only be construed as a third man in situation. Trevor Daley was not assessed a penalty of any sort for his actions during this altercation.
