nossagog Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 So here's one you don't see in the box score too often. Matt Cullen, 1 goal, 0 assists and 0(that's zero) shots on goal. As a matter of fact, Matt Cullen was the only Pens player on the team tonight without a shot, but still credited with a goal with the automatic empty netter from a penalty.

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Dammit!! And I had Matt Cullen for a short while on both of my FHL teams. If I had known he had the ability to score without even taking shots on goal, well, then, who ELSE can do such a thing!?? I better hurry on over and see if he is still available. Don't want some sneaky GM nabbing him and his "no touch" goal scoring ways before I have a chance to re-add him.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruxpin Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Wait. Cullen was the shortie, wasn't he? I was thinking maybe it was a goal put in by the Sens and he was the last to touch it, but he went in on Anderson shorthanded right after the Pens' goalie change. That was not an empty-netter. Actually a pretty cagey play by Cullen. Sorry, I'm afraid that box score is wrong (ESPN has a SOG, so does NHL.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pulled down as he had a breakaway on an empty net, so the goal was awarded in spite of no official shot. Kind of neat, if it had happened against some else that is, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of neat, if it had happened against some else that is, lol If they're going to award a goal (based on the assumption that the player would have scored if not pulled down) then logically they should also award a shot on goal for that same reasoning. Statistical inconsistencyyyyyyyyyyyyyy................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
