From Drinnan:

So here’s the deal on Tri-City Americans F Brendan Shinnimin from Wednesday night. He received a game misconduct following the shootout in what was a 4-3 loss to the host Red Deer Rebels. According to the online scoresheet, he received a misconduct, of the 10-minute variety, following the overtime period. The online scoresheet is in error. . . . Shinnimin’s actions after the shootout — he was penalized for making an inappropriate gesture in the direction of a referee — resulted in the game misconduct, and he later was suspended for one game by the WHL. . . . If you’re wondering, here is the rule, as supplied by the always co-operative Richard Doerksen of the WHL:
“Three (3) players from each team shall participate in the shootout and they shall proceed in such order as the Coach selects. All players are eligible to participate in the shootout unless they are serving a 10-minute misconduct or have been assessed a game misconduct or match penalty.”

-------------------------

"In the third we were really aggressive," said Tri-City coach Jim Hiller. "It was a strong period. You never count on those (short-handed goals), but they were a couple of great individual efforts."

Neal Prokop and Eric Mestery finished the scoring for the Americans, who were 2-for-6 on the man advantage and killed off four Edmonton power plays.  (Herald)
