- However, you can score a goal when you are supposed to get a penalty and
- have the penalty wiped-out. Try running the goalie with the puck. I have

- goes up, but the puck trickles into the net. But I don't get the penalty
- for interference! I should, but don't......

- I haven't seen that happen in NHLPA, but it does get caught on the crossbar

- hit it and knock it into the net, the goalie will either save it or knock
- it in, or it will bounce over the net. Annoying, anyways.....
