This should be on the NHLN!!!! Get it right Gary. It’s quite simple. Even if it’s on tape delay.

There is one thing I always thought in reference to penalties, in particular, the penalty shots. The team is awarded a penalty shot because the other team performed an illegal act the prevented a scoring chance (basically). If the team taking the penalty shot misses then play resumes as normal. No real harm to the offending team. We now have shootouts that are basically a set of penalty shots. So, goalies are much more adept at stopping them.
Why not have a rule that says if the team awarded the penalty shot misses then the offending player still must serve the 2 min minor. Thus the team award the penalty shot has the power play awarded. Either that or the awarded team can waive the penalty shot and take the power play instead.
