You are not allowed to check the goalie whatsoever in the NHL. If you do, a goalie interference penalty will be called and your team will be shorthanded.
The record for most penalty minutes in a season in Penguins franchise history is 409, by Paul Baxter in the 81-82 season. :)
A powerplay is often awarded when a penalty is given to the opposing team. When a player makes an illegal play, such as hooking or cross-checking, he is given a penalty. The offending player is then sent to the penalty box, usually two minutes for a minor penalty and five minutes for a major penalty. The team of the offending player is then shorthanded-they are only allowed to have four players (minus the goalie) on the ice. The time that the offending player spends in the penalty box is a powerplay for the other team.
