Reminds me of two times when NHL players scored goals for the opposing teams; the first time, an Anaheim Ducks (or were they still Mighty Ducks?) hit the puck, sending it straight across an empty rink (empty of players) into the net, scoring a point for the Detroit Red Wings; the last Red Wing to touch the puck before this Duck hit it, got the credit for the point. The second time, Ilya Kovalchuk (of the Capitals) hit the puck, sending it down the rink into the net, scoring a point for the Devils, for the teammate he meant to pass to, just wasn’t there to receive it. In that case, THE GOALTENDER of the New Jersey Devils got credit for the point, since he was the last Devil to touch the puck.
