Some questions re: comments during today's USA-Italy Olympic contest:
 
1)  At one point the commentators mentioned that a goal *cannot* be scored
    by a team into its own net when its goalkeeper has been pulled during
    a delayed penalty situation (such as the 1986 RPI-Cornell situation
    described here on HOCKEY-L last week).  Is this a standard International
    Rule ??  Do the World Junior Tournaments play by the same rules ??
 
2)  I knew that there are no overtime periods during qualifying play, but
    was unaware that ties in the medal round are to be decided by *penalty
    shots* following a scoreless 10-minute overtime period. This introduces
    the worst element of NC$$ and World Cup soccer into International Hockey,
    and I think it *stinks*.  Was this rule instituted as part of the single-
    elimination medal round introduced this year, or have I just be very
    inattentive during past Olympics ??
