@LexIoana Excuse me? So, if I have a Teammate bounce a puck on my Arm and it "All of a sudden" bounced into the Goal, the Goal would count even though my forward progress is towards the Goaltender and the Opposing Goal? Mind you, the puck solely bounced off my Arm as I am sliding into the Goal. The Referees would count that as a Goal?

If that's the case, let my Teammates bounce pucks off my Head, as if we are playing Soccer, for all I care. Anything to help the team win!

@SkylineBNR34 When there isn't any direct motion the puck can deflect off any part of the body.

Crosby's forward progression made the puck bounce off his wrist and into the net, you can clearly see there is no distinct forward movement of his arm trying to "push" the puck into the net.

Try again bucko. You clearly don't know any of the rules in the NHL then. You can score off any part of the body as long as you aren't "pushing" it in, directing it in is fine. You can score goals with your body

@Jiltedin2007 lmfao you can score with any part of your body as long as there is no forward motion or kicking motion ; which is why people have deflected shots with hands, skates, pants, shoulders, even their face, for years and years of hockey.......

@SkylineBNR34 O.K. Mr. NHL Rules, why don't you look up another rule about scoring a goal by pushing the puck across the Goal Line with a part of your body because if you were to see this video clearly, you would see that Crosby stopped the puck with his stick about 2 feet from the Goal before pushing it across with his Wrist.

Tell me where it is legal to score a goal without the use of your stick.

@LexIoana Those idiots don't know anything about hockey, but you do. Kudos for pulling the rule out of the rulebook.

As I said before, good call, good goal.

[SkylineBNR34]

@Jiltedin2007 Ummm, go read the NHL rule book and tell me where the "Crease Rule" is then.

You're a moron, it was a clean goal. No forced movement of the arm. Good goal.

This is coming from a guy who can't stand Crosby, but it was a fair call. And you can stand in the crease all day as long as you aren't interfering with the goalie.

You need to learn the rules of hockey before you spew "Ultimate hockey knowledge" to anyone.

theres no in the crease rule and it is not directed in period. its just a game

[Jiltedin2007]

Pittsburgh penalty to #87, Sidney Crosby, 2:00 for Interference.

[Jiltedin2007]

@LexIoana What are you talking about?! Cindy was fully "In the Crease" before the puck was. So no, that would have been considered a "No Goal"!

You can't receive the puck when you're in the Crease. The Goal Crease is the Goaltender's space to either stop or field the puck. Why don't you learn your rules!
