Guest Howard He Do It?! Report post Posted May 6, 2010 And a third one said that as long as a portion of the skate blade is on the ice at all times, that's a good goal as well. In my opinion this should be the new rule. Anything goes is dangerous and anything kicked outside of the crease still presents safety problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted May 6, 2010 I like the idea that they would allow kicked goals as long as the part of the skate blade is touching the ice. That seems like a good balance between goalie safety and increased scoring. 3 MCleveland89, redwingsgirlie and soultrain reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That seems like a good balance between goalie safety and increased scoring. I couldn't agree with you more. It poses no safety problems, and seems like it should be a legit way to get a goal.

hockeynut 55 Report post Posted May 6, 2010 Hockey is played with a stick, unless the puck glances ACCIDENTLY off a skate, any redirection that is intentional should not be a goal. It's easy to tell what is on purpose and what is accidental. If you are looking down at the puck and turn your skate as the puck arrives that's not a goal. If you are not looking and the puck hits your skate and goes in, that's accidental. It's not brain surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grypho 195 Report post Posted May 6, 2010 They should be able to redirect pucks with their faces if they choose -- unless, of course, there's a distinct nodding motion toward the net. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
