What about when the net is intentionally dislodged by a defender when there
is an obvious scoring chance?  Doesn't this also result in a penalty shot?

>It's my understanding that a penalty shot is awarded under (3) specific
>circumstances:
>
>1) The most common is when a player with the puck, and has "clear progress"
>   to the net from the red line, is kept from having "a reasonable scoring"
>   attempt, by an illegal act.  So, by hooking, holding, slashing or tripping
>   the player, that action keeps the player from having the scoring
>   opportunity that one would have on a clear breakaway.
>
>2) If any player (including goalies) throws his/her stick at the puck, which
>   is controlled or shot by the opposing player.  I don't think it matters
>   if it is an accident.  [This has happened this year already in a Wisconsin
>   game, where the opposing goalie lost control of his stick while trying to
>   poke check the puck away.  A penalty shot was awarded to Wisconsin.]

>3) If a player (other than the goalie) covers the puck up in the goal crease,
