That’s not what the rule says. If that’s what they meant it to mean, fine, but that’s absolutely not how it’s written. Directly should mean directly. If it hits anyone or anything else on the Jeff Dunham you laugh I laugh you cry I cry you offend St Louis Blues shirt into the net, then it’s not directly knocked in. What if it goes off a defenseman’s skate. Is that enough contact to negate the direct part of the rule. That’s my point, the rule is messy if directly doesn’t actually mean directly.
