This last minute "dance" generated the record for most penalty minutes in one game in the history of our domestic league, and has been making headlines. Even our president has expressed her concern (all that is left open is how she'll figure out a solution involving third world feminists). See what all the fuzz is about.

I'm sure this question must have been asked already but... Did they Finnish the game?

HIFK 6, Pelicans 3.

Total penalty minutes 465.

HAHA! I haven't laughed so much in ages. I loved the second faceoff(?) which just began with violence and ended with cuddles.

Is there really that many refs in the game? At one point I counted 4!?!

Yup, 2 linesmen at the blue lines, 2 "head refs".

Yes, the Finnish championship league uses a four-referee system, with two head refs and two linesmen.

465 penalty minutes?? How will that work? Ban time for next game? eg: this one can't play 25 minutes, other will be banned for 30 and so on?

Most of those will be "personal penalties," meaning they affect the player, not the team. But there will be further punishment handed out once the event has been reviewed, no doubt.

I approve.
