Rule problem

[msuhockeycj]

So I believe if a player is skating in on an empty net and tripped, or other situation that would normally be a penalty shot then a goal is just awarded. Well I had this happen in a game and was given a penalty shot with the opposing goalie in net. The goalie was pulled before but allowed to go back in net for the penalty shot. Am I wrong on the rule or did EA just not put this in the game?

Just to clarify this was in the NHL 11 demo

Quote:

If at the time a penalty shot is awarded, the goalkeeper of the penalized team has been removed from the ice to substitute another player, the goalkeeper shall be permitted to return to the ice before the penalty shot is taken. The team against whom the penalty shot has been assessed may replace their goalkeeper to defend against the penalty shot, however, the substitute goalkeeper is required to remain in the game until the next stoppage of play.

The point is, regardless of where the goalie is, a goal should be awarded if the tripped player would have clearly scored, not a penalty shot. So basically EA rule is wrong, however these are rare occurrences.

LOL, you are basically saying the NHL's rules are wrong, in it's own game.

I am talking about real hockey.

Well it is wrong in the game since that is an auto-goal...

No, he said it was called a penalty shot. Then the goalie was back in net for the penalty shot also. Which is what someone posted as the NHL rules.

Unless I am reading something wrong, or missing something.
