My first impulse is to say that would be infinite, as that's what most
things divided by 0 are. But I'm not sure about 0/0. I think my Physics
prof mentioned it last year, but I think I was half asleep.
 
That said, most spreadsheets would just report it as ERR!. :-)
 
FWIW, I didn't actually get to see the shot on goal. I left Winnipeg too
late, and missed the first period.
