re sad day for hockey dvb ick writes foul any illegal contact with the other player or his stick with your body or stick if you get you are out for the game i ve never seen a game where one player has committed penalties something like this would require more attention by the referee unsportsmanlike contact an intentional foul this inlcludes all the current flavours of roughing fighting and boarding if you get two you are thrown out of the game and fined technical foul bad mouthing the ref by player or coach penalty shot is awarded two and you are thrown out of the game besides the penalty shot for one technical if the team gets penalties in a period the opposing team gets a penalty shot for every additional one until the end of the period the victim gets two shots if he she was in the act of shooting when the foul ocured this works well for several reasons first penalty shots are the most exciting thing in hockey right so it follows that the more the better next when the player is setting up for a penalty shot the network can take a commercial finally with only three penalties the network announcers don meredith dick vitale john madden pat summerall and marv levy among others will be able to tell the viewers what happened before the pa announcer says it but you re creating a scoring opportunity where there might not have been one before i can see the relationship between free throws awarded after a certain number of fouls but it s obviously easier to score in basketball there are more opportunities if a basketball team scores points that s at least fifty chances made the average number of shots taken by each team in a hockey game and this is a total guess is probably around and a team is lucky to capitalize on maybe of them you have some good ideas concerning the other penalties but i think that a player should be awarded a penalty shot only when they had a chance to score and was interfered with also later in the post you talked about how boring the nba game you attended was that play was stopped too often wouldn t your penalty shot rule take up more time during a hockey game matt att uva
