Hitting the net off / penalty shot?
Blackhawks on the last night @ Canucks game in full backchecking Brent Sopel on a play for overtime, caught an edge and fell around the bottom of the groove on the Web beyond. Now, I understand the penalty is given if the player hits INTENTIONALLY the network, but it seemed it was accidental. Do not care? any clarification would be good. Thank you. * Backchecking at full speed. sorry.
I say the referee was there to make the call. Although usually give the benefit of the doubt to the player playing outside the network, and rarely call this, I who would like called more frequently. In this case, seemed to come a long way and slip into the net. You have some control. As for Khabibulin. If you watch the replay that actually tried to get verification on the play. You can not charge forward and get control without waiting for any accidental contact. However, as for punching a guy in the back of the head after he scored during a shootout, I think the league needs to address that.
