1997 NHL Rulebook - Playing Rules
Rule 50. Delaying the Game
NOTE 1: When the goalkeeper shoots the puck directly (non-deflected) out of the playing surface, except where there
is no glass, a penalty shall be assessed for delaying the game.
NOTE 2: This penalty shall also apply when a player or goalkeeper deliberately bats or shoots the puck with his stick
outside the playing area after a stoppage of play.
NOTE: A player with a " breakaway" is defined as a player in control of the puck with no opposition between him and
the opposing goal and with a reasonable scoring opportunity.
In the event that a goalpost is deliberately displaced by a defending player or goalkeeper, prior to the puck crossing the
goal line between the normal position of the goalposts, the Referee, at his discretion, may assess a minor penalty under
Rule 50(c) (paragraph 1), a penalty shot under Rule 50(d), or award a goal.
