Question for all you hockey buffs.
Puck lands on the goalies back. Goalie is in the crease. Defensemen puts hand on puck.
Rule states that if defensive player touches the puck with his hand while puck is in the crease, a penalty shot will be awarded.
Why wasn’t there a penalty shot? Rule 63.5 was clearly violated.
I wish I knew. We have always griped about calls not going our way when we play in the Joe. And there are very few penalty shots awarded any more.
I didn’t see the first game, was it a swat or controlled closed fist grab?
