OnWis97 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Last night, Minnesota was awarded a goal when the puck never got near the goal. Penalty on a break with an empty net. I am pretty sure I’d never seen that.

I don’t know the limits, but the refs have the discretion to award a goal. If a guy is going in alone on an empty net, it seems like a good time to do it.

The_Admiral Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I've seen/heard it happen twice in the last twelve years. As I'm sure you figured out, a penalty shot against an empty net would be a waste of time, so it's just an automatic goal. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should still make them go through the procedure of actually completing it. Like an intentional walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For decades, I have been in favor of just pointing to first and giving the guy the base rather than going through 4 pitches. Most of the opposition to that centered around "There could be a wild pitch". or something out of the usual happening. I have gradually come to accept that argument, so for it to be claimed that it is "automatic" strikes a nerve with me. The possibilities may be infinitesimal, but they do happen.

Cosmic Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 But even still, the small chance of missing an open net during play is huge compared to the chance of missing on an untimed, unchallenged, goalie-less penalty shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Houston Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Stefan's was even worse since he had the puck from the friggin' blue line. All you need to do is just guide it in, shoot even stop and just tap it forward. Or even just keep it and run out the freaking clock. Smith's is somewhat more forgivable since he had to stop the puck and pivoting the stick to put it as a forehand shot. I'm sure he ate some good crow from the locker room that day. "And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life...

It's not an analogous situation because, generally (but not always) intentional walks are issued with runner(s) on base. I don't like the auto-IBB unless the bases are empty because some pitchers are a bit off when throwing intentional balls. A wild pitch can happen and impact the basepaths. A penalty shot vs an empty net? You might outthink yourself in the moment but on a penalty shot? Skaters know where the bad ice is and to avoid it. No NHL'er would ever screw that up.

Sport Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 yeah, but I would enjoy the silly bureaucratic formality of making someone actually skate from center ice and deposit the puck into an empty net. What would be the harm? It'd make for some goofs and good gifs. A better analogy would be that we still have faceoffs if there's like .3 seconds left on the clock. Or football teams have to try an extra point if the game ends on a touchdown. I had a teammate in high school miss a penalty shot because he accidentally missed the puck on the center dot and skated past it which means he couldn't take a shot. No NHL player would ever do that, but I like opening the possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcj882000 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't mind seeing them do penalty shots on a still-empty net, if only for the hyper-rare comedy that would occur when a guy blows it like Stefan & Smith did. Anyways, we all know that local news outlets sometimes get the logo of a sports team wrong, but OTGDNHL would get the logo of one of their own teams wrong: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmm Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Pretty wacky finish in Brooklyn tonight, thanks to a Tyler Bertuzzi match penalty that led to four power play goals, followed by a Detroit game-tying goal with 29 seconds left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 This isn't a perfect comparison because of the number of games played, but Vegas has the second-most road wins in the league (and they're not tied with anyone). Can we admit that they're a good team yet? To be fair, they have played more road games than average, but if there's a site that tracks points percentage, I'd like to see it.
