Using Your Head.

I can't think of another time where I've seen that happen.

I have never seen it before ever lol. Don't usually see a puck getting up that high infront of a clogged crease that's probably why.

I really enjoyed it all. Was like a corner kick.

Paul Kariya scored off his face against the Blackhawks when he was on the Blues.

But Paul Kariya was a ****

I really wanted that puck to touch a Duck player before going into the net.

Yeah the problem with that rule is it is never enforced. I have players redirect with their skate, I have seen them do a snow job and deflect it with their skates, both were pretty damn on purpose and both times goals counted. Under that rule they would not have counted. It is a EXTREMELY poorly written rule and all the subsections under cover disallowed goals a lot better than that one and are specific.

Hell, their first goal should have been disallowed going by this rule

There are a bunch of sub clauses in the rule book about pucks off the skates. You can't take that posted rule and apply it to pucks off the skates without looking at all the little sub clauses about those type of puck off skates goals.

The puck off the skate qualifiers don't change anything. They don't say it's okay to deflect off the skate except with a distinct kicking motion. It basically just jumps into it like that rule. Going to, the goal will be disallowed if its off a skate with a distinct kicking motion.

It's just badly worded because DIRECTING sounds like it could apply to any passive act where you position yourself to have the puck bounce in off you, but that's not what they mean or enforce.

I should be made clearer but it's the NHL and rules ... so that won't change anytime soon.

Personally, I think the rule is fine. You shouldn't be able to intentionally use anything other than your stick to put the puck in the net.

Yah pretty much agree. Not sure what the big deal is. The entire game is based on a puck and a stick!!! Once the rules change to being able to put a puck in with any body part then it's not hockey anymore its some other weird fucking game.

 

[BlackHawkPaul]

The rule is fine. It was entertaining. The Hawks won.
Don't kick in goals. Don't head butt them in.
Don't swat it in with your junk.

But those are sub rules to the main rule not sub rules of the rule in question therefore are in direct conflict and of equal importance of that rule

If they let players grab the puck out of the air, then they should let them head the puck in goal. His only other option is to grab it, put it down and shoot it. That's too much work in that tight space and it's not gonna work

 

[DMelt36]

Really I think Shaw's lucky someone wasn't trying to play the puck with a stick at the same time and accidentally caught him in the face instead

They can't grab the puck out of the air and put it into the goal, though.

Honestly, the heabutt and the fact that it was above the corssbar was enough for it to get waived off, but Pele would have been proud.

That whole play should be the old, "History will be made" videos they did in what, 2010?

I wasn't talking about putting it in goal, just the fact that you're allowed to grab the puck in general. You can't toss a pass or clear the zone over someone's head cause he's gonna grab it. I'd rather let them highstick it then play it with the hands

What if while in the crease you're all :fap:

Technically, you can't--but the closing your hand on the puck is about as enforced as travelling in basketball--only the bottom feeder players draw it. The rule as I know it says that you can bat the puck down with your hand (or handpass in your own defensive zone), but you can't grab it--and certainbly can't carry it or close your hand on it if it's on the ice. You can kick or headbut (if you so desire) the puck to any other teammate (or yourself) anywehre on the ice--except into the net.

I just don't see how grabbing the puck equates to allowing a header as a goal. The rule as I know it states that only the stick can dynamically propel the puck into the net--any other defelction has to be completely passive--you can control the angle of the carom but you can't add any force behind it.
