Blues game question.
I was at the Blues game on sat. so I did not have any commentators input. In the third period, after Nolan and a Blues player recieved offsetting roughing penalties, Andrew Brunette skated over to penalty box and sat with Nolan for the duration of the penalty. The friend that was at the game with me and I assumed that Nolan had recieved a ten minute misconduct on top of the roughing, but was out at the end of the two minutes. Did they mention this on the broadcasts or did anyone else at the game notice this. Is it legal to voluntarily send a player to the box to sit and stratigize with. a penalized player. I have never seen or heard of this before. Any input would be great.

Nolan had an equipment problem
Something with his helmet, IIRC. He couldn’t come back on the ice until the equipment was fixed; thus, someone need to be there for that.
As it turned out, the equipment was fixed by the next whistle and it was all good.
I saw the same situation you did, and wondered also if it was a misconduct. I don’t think the announcers got around to explaining it until a little later, but something similar happened to Nolan a few games back [I think], so when he skated back out after serving the 2:00, I figured equipment was the cause.

I was also at the game and we were wondering the same thing. Glad there was actually a reasonable explanation for it.
