At smack in the middle I saw a penalty shot and thought about why we don’t have it in Europe… I think it’s a pretty nice way after a foul on a clear scoring opportunity(The person who was in the goal needs to be goaly for the penalty shot).
Also I feel it’s very entertaining to watch
What do y’all think about it ?
Should we maybe try it for some tournaments and see how it goes?
I think it’s nicer than getting 30sec for a foul on scoring opportunity.

I agree. on a scoring opportunity, you are less incentivized to foul the offense if a 1v1 with a goalie is a consequence. The downsides are logistical. They usually take too long to explain, set up, and then reset. It tends to slow down the flow of a game which can have some implications on a team’s momentum. maybe if they were more common this wouldn’t be as big of an issue though

Question: Is it a 1 v 1 penalty shot?
If so, I wonder, don’t we lose the team play dynamicity and infinite possibilities from a 3 v 2 (one defender is out 30sec). All just to have a boring (my opinion) ego play in which rest of players and audience need to wait it out, etc.
team play > everything (again just my opinion)
edit: spelling

Yes it is a 1vs1 against the goaly
But I think it’s quite fast and don’t happen that much
If you are only allowed to go forward without big delay it’s also over quite quick
And one player out for 30sec is even worse for teamplay or?

The penalty shot rule is kind of contentious over here as well. Per the NAH ruleset if the fouled player misses the penalty shot attempt the player who committed the foul still serves a player removal, but that never gets called correctly. Yes, even for a minor penalty.
The idea, I think, is a good one and helps to bridge the gap to rectifying situations where a player is fouled with a clear scoring opportunity but not so clear that the opportunity should just be an awarded goal. The rulesets are all fluid and it’s up to us to make sure that they evolve in a way that makes sense to help grow the sport.
How would you call it in the Euro ruleset in a situation where a player is in the act of taking a shot and is fouled while there is a defender in the crease?
If it’s clear chance of goal my guess is 30sec out the guy who did the foul
