The goalkeeper is not visible: the attacker’s fear of an empty goal

An empty goal is a completely undeservedly erroneous shot on goal. It’s just a shot at a box that no one is guarding. Like a penalty without a goalkeeper, although there were football players who failed to hit the goal from a very close distance (i.e. less than eleven meters) and with the goalkeeper already beaten.

Anyone who scores into an empty net in ice hockey and thus scores into an empty net deserves to celebrate that goal just as much as someone who scores it in the heat of battle, against fierce opposition. Well, maybe that’s not entirely true. But if you don’t hit the empty target at close range, your own brain will immediately give you the middle finger and you’ll be guaranteed a fixed starting point for an endless cycle of highlights. However, a performance will only be noteworthy if, for example, it decides the outcome of a championship. The big exception is that the goalscorer is the goalkeeper.

Being on the ice is a real reward

Depending on the distance from which it is scored, an empty goal is a feat or a completely expected event, although a direct hit from the maximum possible distance – i.e. from behind his own goal line – definitely deserves recognition.

As simple as shooting into an empty net may be (for the pros), ultimately the real difference is the presence of the player taking the shot on the ice. First you need to win the coach’s trust in order to be able to be on the ice in these often important moments. A coach doesn’t hire anyone who just wants to score cheap points and isn’t interested in defending their own goal.

Too boring for a goal without resistance? Maybe. And the conclusion? Life without the Nethernet is possible, but meaningless.
