Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca. My question is regarding the actions of a goalie knocking the net off its moorings. Im sure by now you have seen the video where AHL goalie David Leggio sees he is about to face a 2-on-0, so he turns around and takes the net right off the moorings, which results in a penalty shot which he stops! Ingenious play for sure as long as you stop the upcoming penalty shot. Could he also be assessed a misconduct on the play? Also, what happens if on the penalty shot he turns around and lifts the net off its moorings yet again? Does the referee have the option to award an automatic goal or can he then toss the goalie from the game and force the back-up to come in and face the penalty shot? Curious to hear your insight on this strange play! Doug Robichaud, Hampton, NB --- Doug: An ingenious decision for sure by Bridgeport goalie David Leggio to toss the net and subsequently face one shooter on the ensuing penalty shot as opposed to a 2-on-0. Given the fact that Leggio signaled a penalty shot by pointing to centre ice even before the referee did, I doubt his decision to knock the net off the moorings was spontaneous, but instead rehearsed; at least in this astute goalie’s mental visualization exercises. Presently, there is no provision in the rules for the referee to assess a misconduct penalty to Leggio for deliberately displacing the goal post. Given the timing with which Leggio dislodged his net, the referee had no option at his disposal to award a goal under rule 63.6 and/or 25.2. For that to occur, an attacking player must have shot the puck or be in the act of shooting prior to the net being displaced, accidentally or deliberately, and it must be determined that the puck would have entered the net between the normal position of the goal posts. Instead, the appropriate penalty shot was applied by the referee (and Leggio) under rule 63.5 which reads: If the goal post is deliberately displaced by a goalkeeper or player during the course of a “breakaway,” a penalty shot will be awarded to the non-offending team, which shot shall be taken by the player last in possession of the puck. Once the penalty shot procedure was put in motion, Doug, the goalkeeper is allowed to stop the puck in any manner except by throwing his stick or any object, or by deliberately dislodging the goal, in which case a goal shall be awarded. If during the shot Leggio were to “accidentally” dislodge the net in an attempt at making a save, the referee must make one of the following determinations: i) Award a goal if he deems the player would have scored into the area normally occupied by the net had it not been dislodged. ii) Allow the shot to be re-taken if he does not score or it could not be determined if the puck would have entered the area normally occupied by the net. iii) If the goal becomes dislodged after the puck has crossed the goal line thus ending the shot, the above determinations do not apply, the shot is complete. While David Leggio took full advantage of a loophole in the rule to eliminate a 2-on-0, if he were to displace the goal during the course of the subsequent penalty shot (accidentally or otherwise), the rules clearly favour the shooter to allow for either an awarded goal or for the shot to be retaken. My rule change recommendation to plug this loophole would be for the referee, at his discretion, to award a goal when he determines the net has been deliberately dislodged during the course of a breakaway. Until that change is made, there is nothing to stop a goalie from chucking his net to stop play and then go head-to-head with a lone shooter on the penalty shot. Vince Williams Steelers Jersey .

ABBOTSFORD, B.C. -- Corban Knight snapped out of his scoring slump in a big way Friday night, with some help from an old friend. Knight scored twice and assisted on another as the Abbotsford Heat blanked the visiting Hamilton Bulldogs 6-0 in American Hockey League action. After recording five points in the final three games of December, Knight had no goals and just two assists in nine games through the month of January. "Id definitely say I was a little snake-bit the last little while here, and things werent coming my way," said Knight. "It was nice to get a couple nice set-ups from the guys, and I was able to put them in. Hopefully Ill kind of put that behind me and move forward here." Knight was matched up with former linemate at the University of North Dakota Evan Trupp. Trupp responded with his first multi-point game since being called up from the ECHLs Alaska Aces. "We played two years together, and were really good friends, too," said Knight. "The fact we were put together, I think we were both pretty excited about it, and we were able to get some chemistry going tonight." Besides recording two second-period goals, Knight picked up the second assist on Markus Granlunds opening goal and was also in the crease for a Heat goal that was waved off in the first period. "Hes going through a learning curve like a lot of our guys," said Heat head coach Troy Ward. "Theyre kind of over that hump of, Im tired now. Some of our college guys that come out, thats really hard for them. Hes got a little bit more energy to his game, and Trupp made a difference." Blair Jones had two goals in his first game since being put on waivers by the Calgary Flames on Wednesday. With the addition of Jones and Shane OBrien, who was also sent down by the Flames, along with Heats signing of Trevor Gillies, the Abbotsford dressing room is beginning to get quite crowded. Derek Smith and Sven Baertschi are also recent Flames demotions. "Our team is at probably one of the most competitive points for ice time," said Ward. "Thats based on health and depth. It might get worse next week when the NHL shuts down and they assign players, creating more of a log jam. Its a heaalthy situation.dddddddddddd It makes coaching decisions a little bit harder but thats part of our job." Josh Jooris also scored, while Max Reinhart had two assists as Abbotsford (27-14-4) got back in the win column after consecutive overtime losses last weekend. Joni Ortio stopped 34 shots for his second shutout of the season, and was a factor despite the lopsided win. "Hes one of the unsung heroes," said Ward. "He made some huge saves at critical times. We gave them a couple good looks and he was there and made it look pretty easy." Dustin Tokarski made 22 saves for Hamilton (20-19-4), which has won just once in its past five outings. After a scoreless opening 20 minutes, Ortio woke up his club with a huge save midway through the second period. "Joni made some big saves in the second period when they had a couple cross-ice plays," said Jones. "Its kind of what Ive been seeing from him all season." Hamilton got a three-on-two rush while at the tail end of a penalty kill, but Ortio made a great save, sliding across to deny Martin St. Pierres one-timer at the side of the net. During a post-whistle scuffle the Heat came away with another power play and this time made it count. Max Reinhart fed Granlund and the Swede beat defender Darren Dietz at the blue-line and skated in on Tokarski, scoring blocker side for his team-high 18th of the season at 10:26. Then, just 1:27 second later the Heat built on their momentum. Brett Olson put a perfect backhanded saucer pass on the tape of Knight in the slot and the High River, Alta. native made no mistake, beating Tokarski glove side. Knight picked up his second with less than a minute to go in the period. Trupp came off the side boards and shovelled the puck to Knight in the high slot. This time he went top corner, blocker side for his 11th of the season. Jooris made it 4-0 with his fifth of the season at 7:20 of the third. He took a feed from Baertschi, cut to the front of the net and swept the puck around Tokarski. Jones completed the onslaught, scoring twice in less than two minutes. First he redirected Reinharts perfect feed at 9:52, then wired a one-timer between Tokarskis pads for his 10th of the season.
