Tonight we saw the Panthers awarded a Penalty Shot. Would it be better if the rules were changed to allow the team to chose to have a Penalty Shot or the penalised team given a 2 minute Penalty instead? Panthers at the time were shorthanded therefore it was theoretical that Myers scored however Cardiff could have struck back immediately on the Power Play.
I remember a long time back during the Panthers VS Steelers Play Off Semi-Final that the Steelers were awarded a Penalty Shot while on the Power Play but missed the shot and I remember Gary Moran stating that it was better for the Panthers not having to face a 5 on 3 Penalty Kill.

Agreed. Said this for a long time. Coach should get to chose. Different situations would bring different choices from coaches. |

Agreed, that would make more sense. I often think it'd be better to have the 2 minutes, I'd imagine more penalty shots are missed than scored.
Did Myers have to take the shot, because he was impeded? It'd be a better award if we could've sent out our specialist at least.

I wonder if we will see a video review used during the cup final.

Penalty Shot A free shot, unopposed except by the goalie, is given to a player who is illegally impeded from behind when in possession of the puck and with no opponent between him and the goal except for the goalie. The team that commits the offense is not penalized beyond the penalty shot, whether it is successful or not. www.eliteleague.co.uk/officiating-and-penalties/And this one can be confusing also Linesmen There are two linesmen that are responsible for calling offsides and icing and handling all faceoffs that do not take place at center ice. They do not call penalties, but can recommend to the referee that a penalty be called. |

Of course your impeded player could be injured (fake or not) to allow another player to take the shot?

He got injured and Steve Lee took the PS which Bowns saved. |

From what I've seen this season referees are extremely reluctant to call penalty shots. Have seen two or three that could easily have been penalty shots called as two minutes for hooking or holding instead.
The only penalty shot I've actually seen awarded was the extremely dubious one given to the Steelers on New Year's Day. But different rules evidently apply to Sheffield.
