Yes. It has happened when a pass is missed and goes all the way down the ice and into the open net.
I understand how it could happen but I couldn't find anything on it definitely having happened in an NHL game.
Why do hockey players fight all the time?
Asked by Wiki User
Players fight for a number of reasons. Some fight for dominance of the opponent, some to give their team an edge (mentally), some because they feel they were wronged, and some because it's a very physical game and they just lose their temper. If you remember a few years ago there was a lot of controversy as to whether fighting should be penalized more severely and just completely banned (wouldn't happen) because of the hit from behind on Steve Moore from Todd Bertuzzi. Some people fight just to fight and some fight to take an opposing player that can stop a game deciding play out of the fray. There are too many reasons to fight to list them all.
Answer 2:
In the NHL, hockey players fight for a few reasons:
-To make there fans stay interested and keep the game interesting
-Because it's there job, why else do you think some 250 hockey players that arn't near as good as the 180 pound danglers?
-To keep a handle on the other team. If there is a team of light weigh, skilled players and they are winning the game lets say 10-0, the opposing team will get very frustrated and kick the crap out of them. After the fight, the team may backoff and respect the other team.

In hockey what does the score is after regulation mean?
Asked by Wiki User
The regulation time for a hockey game is 60 minutes of playing time, divided into 3 20-minute periods. If at the end of 60 minutes one team is ahead, the game is over and the winning team is awarded two points. However, if at the end of regulation (60 minutes), the score is tied, then teams play a five minute 4-on-4 overtime. If the game is not settled in overtime, then teams use a shootout to determine a winner. The 4-on-4 overtime and shootout do not apply in the playoffs, however, where unlimited 5-on-5 OT is used to determine a winner.

What is the distance from the goal line to the end board behind the net on Olympic size ice surface?
Asked by R95c97r99
It can be either 11 feet or 4 meters. The 2010 Olympics were played on an NHL standard/North American rink...200' x 85'...and thus the IIHF decided to play the tournament with the goal line at 11 feet per NHL standards. When the Olympics were in Italy in 2006, the tournament was played on International size surfaces (approx 200 x 98)...thus the goal line was at 4 meters (13.1 feet) from the end boards.

What does zone mean in hockey?
Asked by Wiki User
Hi, gonna try to help you with this...
There's 3 zones in an ice hockey rink divided by lines, there's 2 blue lines and 1 red line between these 2.
If you are defending your net it means you are in your defensvive zone, delimited by the very beginning of the rink and the first blue line.
If you advance, and cross this blue line you enter into the neutral zone, which is the zone between the two blue lines with the red line in the middle, and if you pass the second blue line it means your are in the attacking zone, or offensive zone.
When you are attacking and the puck is handed by your wingers they should (theorically) never give or pass the puck to your defensive man, which are two and are preventing the puck to go out of the attacking zone standing at the top of the attacking zone, you as a winger are supposed to do plays with the other 2 wingers in the atacking zone, like the box, triangle, set up behind, etc., and never pass it back to your defensive man, if you do this, it means you took it out of the zone.
There'e another zone called red zone or blind zone (if i remember correctly), but that's for goalies, which means that the puck is handed most of the times for the against team and it's behind the net, which is really hard for goalies...
Hope I helped you with this...
Best, alex...
