Just before the midway point of the final period, the Storm were awarded a penalty for elbows. Thanks to the big screen with the live Sky feed, we all had the opportunity to view the replay of what was obviously a penalty. However, this seems to have caused some controversy with the London bench claiming that Andy Carson had given the penalty on viewing the replay on the screen, something not allowed in British hockey (yet?). Now from where we were sitting, it was clear that he actually turned his back on the screen and had his linesman stood behind him explaining what he had saw and it was this that lead to the penalty being called. Some will say as a Storm fan I am bound to say that but that’s what we saw!! Whether the linesman is allowed to call a penalty in this way or whether the ref was just checking his view of things with his fellow officials is something to be discussed at another time. |
