So perhaps they should just amend the rule to allow the player to take
a penalty shot on the empty net. That way the puck *would* have to
enter the goal, and the crowd would love it. And it would be about as
likely to succeed as a penalty kick in soccer.
I'm only half kidding, but then again, I think that someone should
have to break the wicket to make an appeal for caught out or LBW in
cricket. :-)
