Re: Merrimack @ Lowell 11/21
In present day hockey, the sizes of these two players aren't significantly larger than many opponents, so it may be as you said, related to how aggressive they play. It stinks, but not unheard of.
I remember some years back, you guys had someone 6'7" or 6'8" and they were definitely getting the shaft with elbowing penalties. He wasn't sticking the elbow out, it's just that the elbow was about head level for anyone roughly in the 5'7"-5'9" height range. Always wondered if he was supposed to raise his arms up over the head of the guy he's hitting, but would he get called for something else?
