Yes
A goal that is scored by a distinctive kicking motion by the offensive team is disallowed. I don't think there's any other problems with kicking at the puck.
yes. once the puck is blown dead, go to the edit lines screen. There, you can put in your back-up goalie. this can only be done when the puck is dead, before the face-off screen returns.
There are a few differences between the two, most having to do with rules: * In Olympic hockey, the rink is longer and wider. * Goaltenders in the NHL are only allowed to play the puck behind the goal line within an octagonal shape marked by a visible line out from the back of the net. Olympic goaltenders can play the puck anywhere behind the net. * In the NHL when a player shoots the puck down the ice from his own half of the center line an opposing player must touch the puck first before icing is called. Olympic hockey uses "no touch" icing which means play is whistled dead as soon as the puck crosses the goal line. * If an Olympic player fights he is ejected from the game, whereas NHL players just serve a 5 minute penalty. These are just a few key examples, as naturally there are other differences. Basically, NHL play is more aggressive while Olympic hockey is more passive and positional.
The average lifespan of an NHL hockey puck is 7 minutes.

The trapezoid is the only place that the goalies are allowed to play the puck. This is a rule that came into the NHL during the lockout, what it does is it makes the game go faster because the goalie can no longer play the puck outside the trapezoid and freeze it or try to move the puck from there.

A goalie can throw, kick, pass, bat, or spit out of his mouth if necessary, the puck at anytime while the puck is still active and game is in play.
