Yes.
A save, rebound or deflection. Trust me I am a goalie! Em 27
yes the goalie can do that but i don't think the goalie would want to kick the puck because it might result in a goal.Also the goalie can save the puck with any part of his body.

Yes. Jose Theodore did it.
Steve Mason the goalie of the Columbus Blue Jackets was awarded as the Rookie of the year (Calder Trophy)
A goal keeper cannot deliberately handle the ball outside of his own penalty area. If they do, then a direct free kick is awarded to the opponents.
If this happens................ The player can touch the puck with his hand in the defesive zone, but if he does close his hand on the puck in the crease than a goal can be awarded if there is no goalie If there is a goalie then the other team can have a penalty shot.
A goal keeper may not touch with his hands a ball directly thrown-in to them by a team-mate. If they do, then an indirect free kick is awarded at the location it was touched.
The term was first used after NHL President Frank Calder, in reference to new rules allowing a goalie to leave their feet, said "they can stand on their heads as far as I'm concerned"; it is now used to describe multiple saves in quick succession, often without the goalie being able to reset themselves in position and using the aforementioned rule allowing them to be off their feet, such as when they stack the pads to try and save a quick rebound shot.
The goalie.
A penalty shot is awarded when the player has a clear opportunity to skate up to and shoot on the goalie without an opposing player in between them AND an opposing player comes from behind (or from the side) and infracts the player (by tripping, hooking, throwing the stick, etc). There is some judgment by the referee as to whether the player had a clear break or not. If the penalty shot is not awarded, then a minor penalty is.
The rule is that if a player closes his hand on the puck in the goal crease, then a penalty shot is awarded, if the goalie has been pulled when a penalty shot is awarded, then the referee awards a goal to the team instead.
