Puck Proof
What is the rule when a net is knocked of its moorings?
I know the whistle blows, but what if a puck is going, or would have gone, in? What is the rule for this in the NHL? I was told that if you are a defensive player and knock the net off, the other team is automatically awarded a goal. That seems dumb to me...
So what is the rule? Proof or examples, please! 
p.s. GO PENS!
If a defensive player knocks it off deliberately it is a delay of game. If the puck goes in after the net comes off no goal unless it was intentional to prevent the goal in which case the goal can be awarded.
I'm not exactly sure of the exact circumstances for each, you need the answer of an expert and or rule guy. Lubers would be best but there are many other knowledgeable posters on here. Lity or Bob etc.
