Jack_Bauer 1 Posted November 17, 2005 Off hand in hockey, no player except the goalie can play with a broken stick. And on a penalty shot, the goalie cannot leave the crease until the shooter has crossed the blueline. Roger Nielsen actually exploited this by putting a defensemen in the crease (which is technically allowed) and having that defensemen get the puck away from the shooter. He could come right at him once he crossed the blueline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
