hilarious...not making fun but I am in Canada & my buds would find this hilarious...

If a team is down by 1 or 2 goals with only a few minutes left in the game they will pull their goalie leaving the 'net empty' so that they can have a 6th skater & have a better chance to score...in essence putting themselves on the power play.

The other team is said to have the 'empty net' too shoot at....This is how Ron Hextall became the first goalie in NHL history to actually SHOOT & score a goal.
