Pro Tip: If the opposition knocks your net off pull the goalie!

[jd22]

Most of the time the refs fix the net during play and let it continue. That would be a pretty dumbass move to let the refs fix the net and then have no goalie guarding the net in the 2nd period.

It doesn't even have to be a ref. There's nothing that says (to my knowledge) a player can't fix the net if they like. So the smart move, really, would be waiting for the goalie to go to the bench and then a player on the other team goes and fixes the net.

That would make it 6 on 4 in the other end though.

Probably acceptable for 5 seconds if you have a chance at an empty net... wouldn't you think? Particularly if the game was going either way?
