Can a goalie serve a minor if he chooses to?
 
Situation:  Final 30 seconds of a 2-1 game.  Goalie for losing
team, in process of heading to bench, accidentally plays puck
past the red line, resulting in a minor penalty.  The losing team,
which has its top scoring line on the ice, would rather play with an
empty net (or with a backup) than to have the penalty served by a
skater.  Is this possible?
