Everyone at Climate Pledge was super confused on the Torrent’s 5th goal. I didn’t know it’s a free goal if a penalty shot is awarded when the goalie’s been pulled.
Edit: pk is soccer
I was not aware of that either, but it makes sense. Save time by awarding the point and getting on with the game.
Sadly I missed the game, I was really looking forward to watching it too.
One assumes a professional hockey player wouldn’t miss a goal like that, and it’s probably best to avoid any embarrassment such a miss would generate!
A few years back, during a shootout, the goaltender threw his stick at Ovi’s shot on goal to block it. Ovi knew immediately that he should be awarded the goal, but the refs had to talk about it for a minute. They did make the right call in the end though.
Found the video! I thought it was the Rangers, but I didn’t think it was Lundqvist. It was Georgiev. Also that was SEVEN years ago. Sigh.
