I just like the rule in rugby union better. You collapse the scrum near the goal line and you can/will be punished with a penalty try. Except if you are South Africa and the year is 1995.

What is the NHL rule if one team has the goalie pulled and and there is a break-away and a player throws his stick and knocks the puck away as it is going into the net? Is it a penalty shot? Is there a goalie in the net? Is a goal given?

I think that is the more apt scenario. But I really don't know what the ruling is.
