A shot on goal is when a player intentionally shoots the ball towards the goal in attempt to score. Saved goals are goals that have the ability to go in but are caught by the goalie before entering the goal.

What type of NHL shot qualifies for a NHL shot on goal?

There is no NHL definition or rule of a shot, therefore, a shot on goal is up to the discretion of the official scorer. But in general terms, a shot on goal is a shot that is taken with the intent to score that either goes into the net for a goal or the goalie saves from going into the net for a goal. A shot that hits the goalpost or crossbar, or a shot the goalie stops that would not have gone in the net is not considered a shot on goal. A clearing pass that goes through everybody and winds up being stopped by the goalie is not considered a shot on goal because there was not intent by the 'shooter' to score a goal. Similarly an errant pass from a teammate that is stopped by the goalie is not considered a shot on goal.


Lacrosse goalie scores goal in his own crease?

In a game, the goalie can accidentally score on his or her own goal. If they try to stop a shot and it bounces off of them and goes fully past the goal line, then it does count as a goal for the opposing team. The goalie is also allowed to leave the crease and in some rare cases can actually go up and score in the other team's goalie.

If you play as a lacrosse goalie how do you get use to the shots thrown to the lower corners of the goal?

As a goalie myself, the best way to stop shots at the lower corners is to step towards the shot and in the direction it is headed and widen your base to about shoulder width apart with you lacrosse head in between your calfs with the top of the head touching the ground.
