Is that true? I feel dumb because I am sure I have watched games where a player was assessed with two separate penalties at once, but I don't recall how it normally plays out.
I don't know if it makes a difference or what scenario is more favorable to the team on the powerplay. I think I'd rather have a four minute double minor though.

That would be the correct way to call it . It should have been 5 vs 3 not a double minor. The penalties should have been served congruantly. It would still be served as like a double minor where if the team scores that would negate only 1 penalty. They were 2 different types of penalties not ones that were the same and could be assessed as a double minor.even if they were the same like roughing they can not be called a double minor as they were seperate incidents.
The nhl had a rule book they just don't call it to a t.
