It seems to me that the rule defines two types of plays that can occur when a puck strikes a glove, either the puck can be deflected, or it can be batted. I merely defined "deflection" (as an event in which a puck in motion strikes another object, the result of which is a change in the direction and/or speed of the puck's movement), and opined that for the purpose of the interpretation of this rule, each contact of the puck by a glove with must be ruled as either a deflection or as a batting motion if the puck subsequently enters the net. Are you arguing with my definition of the term "deflection"?

Colin Campbell and the nhl situation room (what a terrible name by the way) determined that he caught the puck, wound up, and threw a 100 mph fastball into the net. No goal!
