Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 4173380, member: 1131"] It commonly happens in hockey that there is a multi-player scrum along the boards or in the corner, and in almost every case, each team will have another player who is nearby but not participating in the scrum. The reason is obviously so that when the teammate in the scrum manages to gain possession of the puck, he needs to have someone to pass to who can move the puck up the ice. On the play in question, if Caroline Ducharme was going to save the ball from going out of bounds, she needed someone to pass to, and that could only be Evina. If they had both been diving for the ball, it would have been another UConn turnover. [/QUOTE]
