When is 'Crunch time' exactly?

[Phil-Cornwall]

The DVR is excellent in allowing you to see who is one the ice for 'goals against'

but...

something odd. I thought 'crunch time' is 5 minutes left in the 3rd. I had my 4th line set to '0' for crunch time and all three of them were out there for not one, but two -what seemed to be long shifts under 4 minutes left and of course that is when Boston scored.

No salty Scott from me though, it was a good game, but I need to know how that works.

I did a quick search and found this:

Interestingly enough there is a crunch time up and crunch time down but no crunch time even. I think that means if the game is tied your competitive lineup will be used until you are either up or down by a goal.

wow..that would explain it, as I have seen it before in the NJ series.

So odd. Up and Down are taken into consideration but not 'tied'. Can you code a third toggle for 'tied' for next year ?

hmmm. On second thought, I think I saw my 4th liners out in the last 3 mins even after being down by one score.
