Jan, you are correct in regards to that penalty shot being awarded, in that RULE # 63.5 states that if there is sufficient regulation time or overtime left to be played, the call should have been only a minor 2:00 penalty on Georgiev for "DELIBERATELY" knocking the net off its moorings. That is clearly stated better (in short here), however, under RULE #63.2 for when the "attacking player has not yet taken the shot, or is in the act of taking the shot at the open net (see Rule #63.6)". However, Rule #63.5 needs to be modified in description, because it does not relate to ALL possible related situations, as had occurred in last night's game.

Now here is where I misunderstood in part, the rule as it is clearly written under RULE #'s 63.2, 63.5, and 63.6 as the only possible links I had found.

1) You already listed, Jan, RULE # 63.5's key details in part. But that rule clearly states it to be a penalty shot awarded if occurring "DURING THE COURSE OF A BREAKAWAY" only. That full rule on page 90 of the 2017-2018 NHL RULE BOOK strictly states ONLY if it had occurred ON A BREAKAWAY.

2) Now here is where I had a mix up of the 2 RULES off the top of my head immediately once the event occurred last night, (& at the same time of the game I had posted that "IT WAS THE CORRECT CALL"), between a PENALTY SHOT BEING AWARDED, or A GOAL BEING AWARDED under this case.

Rule #63.6 - "AWARDED GOAL" (in full):
"In the event that the goal post is displaced, EITHER DELIBERATELY OR ACCIDENTALLY, by a defending player, prior to the puck crossing the goal line between the normal position of the goal posts, the Referee MAY AWARD A GOAL."
"In order to award a goal in this situation, the goal post must have been displaced by the actions of a defending player, THE PUCK MUST HAVE BEEN SHOT, (OR THE PLAYER MUST BE IN THE ACT OF SHOOTING) AT THE GOAL PRIOR TO THE GOAL POST BEING DISPLACED, and it must be determined that the puck would have entered the net between the normal position of the goal posts."

There was no goal awarded because Malkin was not in the act of, and did not release his shot until at least 1 second after the net was dislodged by Georgiev, which I also believe was more so on a deliberate nature than not, as the ruling was for the penalty shot to be called.
But there lies the issue with the rules as written. The infraction occurred with only 10 seconds remaining in the 3rd. Overtime was then necessary to decide the outcome.
So I agree with you, Jan, in that a 2:00 minor penalty should have only been assessed instead. Furthermore, there is no mention in the RULE BOOK of a penalty shot to be awarded under that section called "OTHER FOULS", which includes the 3 RULE numbers I first mentioned as being the closest related rules for that infraction.
So RULE #63.5 is the closest in relation, but it must be modified to cover all situations, by removing the words, "DURING THE COURSE OF A BREAKAWAY", and clearly add that a penalty shot will be awarded if a goal post is displaced with under 2:00 remaining in regulation time or the 5:00 OT during a REGULAR SEASON GAME.

I can't believe I'm seriously responding to this, but...
Rule 63.5 covers three distinct situations where a penalty shot may be awarded.
Situation 1: a breakaway where the net is deliberately dislodged.
Situation 2: a minor penalty for delay of game is called when any player deliberately dislodged the net. When there is less than 2 minutes in regulation, that penalty becomes a penalty shot.
Situation 3: a player covering the puck in the crease.
In conclusion, no, they don't need to reword the rule because that refers to one of three different situations. Yay for reading comprehension!

Karlsson just seems like waaaaaay too much of package to acquire

Ottawa needs to hit a home run with that trade

Yep, plus why give up the farm for a guy with one year left on his deal when there is no certainty he would resign long term and the Rangers are in the middle of a mini rebuild.

Not one part of it makes any sense

I don't think any team will take the Bobby Ryan contract on with EK. The Phaneuf buyout isn't that bad of a hit, how much would it cost for them to buy out Ryan? Makes no sense keeping him for 4 more years at 7.5.

I mean, why did they trade McDonagh then?

I don't see it is a direction the Rangers would go in at all

I can see them targeting guys like Kovy and JVR this summer...but other than that I think they want the young guys to grow and get ice time

I don't think Ottawa is concerned about staying under the cap, so cap savings isn't going to matter much to them

that owner would rather jump off a building than pay a guy for doing nothing, I still see them trying to pawn Ryan off on somebody rather than a buyout

They traded him b/c NYR didn't wan't to sign McD to a new contract worth between 6.5-8 mill per.

They had to trade him now b/c his value wouldn't get any better. He can make two playoff runs w/ Tampa before he is due a new big $$$ contract.

BY no means does the McD trade mean NYR wants to go after EK or any other high end FA this offseason.

Have to have a mix of talent or you end up like the Oilers or Buffalo. Although I don't like Kovy, I understand the need for him or JVR.

yeah I get all that, what I am saying is why would the Rangers trade a large package for Karlsson, it completely goes against the philosophy of trading McDonagh in the first place

True, remember how they asked for cash with the Brass deal? Other than the Yotes, who would be willing to eat that contract?
