Talk:List of goalscoring NHL goaltenders

Credited, but didn't score?
Please explain the second group of goalies. How is someone "credited" with a goal without scoring a goal? --Do Not Talk About Feitclub (contributions) 14:43, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 * If a player scores a goal on his own team, the last player on the opposing team to touch the puck before the goal occurs is credited with the goal. So, in these cases, the goaltenders were the last player on team A to touch the puck before somebody on team B put it in their own net.  Bsroiaadn Talk 03:11, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I think this is an odd distinction to make. For purposes of official scoring all these goalies have scored in a game. We might simply add an asterisk to indicate that some of these were direct shots into the net, but it's incorrect to suggest that Billy Smith wasn't the first goaltender to score a goal.

always an empty net?
It is possible (although extremely unlikely) that a goalie sends the puck down the ice with a NON-empty net, and the other goalie just screws up and lets it in. This article appears to assume this is impossible; in particular, it should say "Every goal scored directly by a goalie has been on an empty net".. 137.82.175.12 (talk) 18:11, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hopefully I clarified this a bit. It must be a spectacular blunder to have a non-empty net situation. Imagine the highlight reels the next day... [[Image:Face-grin.svg|20 px]]  Maxim (talk)  21:54, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * According to the article, that has actually happened...just not in the NHL. That must have been an interesting game to watch. BsroiaadnTalk 01:33, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Improving Notes column
Can the * and † shown in the Notes column be replaced with text that makes it more obvious what they mean? Even after reading the key, I still have a problem remembering what each symbol signifies. As a replacement I propose SP and OG for goalie shot puck and opponent own goal. Would it also be beneficial to include SH, PP and GWG to indicate the short-handed, power-play and game-winning goals that were credited? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.246.179.122 (talk) 04:08, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I didn't think of the abbreviation when writing the article, for some strange reason. I've used SOG instead of SP, and SHG and PPG instead of SH and PP, respectively. Thanks.  Maxim (talk)  20:16, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, looks great —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.119.19.211 (talk) 00:29, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

"Hextall's second goal is the only goal scored by a goaltender while his team was short handed." We might add that he was thus the only "shooting goalie" who was not risking an icing call against his team when trying for a goal. WHPratt (talk) 01:37, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Goaltender's team lost the game
I think this new highlighting adds undo emphasis for a minor point of the game result which is unrelated to the goalie scoring and is already sufficiently indicated by the final score. 99.246.116.118 (talk) 06:13, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
