Back in the 70's, during a NHL powerplay, didn't a goal by one of the teams end the penalty time left?

Answer 1

Thanks for the great question. I'm usually not interested enough in most questions to do research. I believe I found the answer on the NHL's site and learned about a hockey god of yesteryear from the 1960's who won 10 Stanley Cups - Jean Beliveau. The guy sounds pretty credible so the rule must have changed for at least a short period of time.

"Beliveau scored 507 goals and added 712 assists for 1,219 points in 1,125 NHL regular-season games, a 1.08 points-per-game average. He was just as good in the playoffs, scoring 70 goals and adding 97 assists for 176 points in 162 games, again a 1.08 points-per game average.

"Any parent could use Jean Beliveau as a pattern or role model," NHL President Clarence Campbell said at Beliveau's retirement ceremony. "He provides hockey with a magnificent image. I couldn't speak more highly of anyone who has ever been associated with our game than I do of Jean."

He was the first-line center on the only team to win five straight Stanley Cups, the 1956-60 Canadiens. They played a fast, offensive style called "firewagon hockey" that often resulted in routs. It was common for the Canadiens to break open close games with four- and five-goal outbursts.

"The Canadiens of that time were known for our skating," Beliveau said. "We were a very good skating team and we were known as an offensive-minded team. We had the caliber of talented players to play that type of game. And we had quite a few of them. The offense was well supported when Doug Harvey was on defense and when you have great goaltending you can go all out.

"We had a great power play. They changed the rule (allowing the penalized player to return after a power-play goal) in 1957 because of one penalty against Boston, I got three goals in 44 seconds. I think Terry Sawchuk was in the net."

Answer 2

If you score on a powerplay the time on the penalty ends. Back in the 'old days' the player had to stay in the box until the time was up but some player on the Canadiens-I don't remember who-use to score so much during the power play they changed the rules. If it's a major penalty you have to finish the time regardless.

Answer 3

The rule was changed in the late 50's, when Montreal dominated the league with Hall of Famers Rocket Richard, Jean Beliveau, Boom Boom Geoffrion, Dickie Moore and Doug Harvey, among others, working the power play. Prior to that time, the complete penalty was served no matter how many power play goals were scored.

Answer 4

The play is stopped as quickly via fact the penalized team touches the %., so it could be impossible for the penalized team to shoot the %. interior the internet. despite the fact that if, the penalized team can nevertheless score if the opposing team places the %. of their own internet, without the penalized team touching the %. in any respect. This objective could take transport of to the final individual on the penalized team that touched the %. till now the not on time penalty grew to become into made. in case you shoot the %. on the internet, and then draw a penalty till now the %. is going interior the internet, and it proceeds to roll interior the internet, the objective could merely be disallowed. If yet another participant of your team is the only to shoot the %. jointly as you draw the penalty, it could nevertheless be disallowed.
