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.
When a player in lacrosse misses a goal, it is commonly referred to as a "shot" that was "off target" or a "missed shot." This can occur when the ball goes wide of the goal or over the crossbar. If the shot is on goal but saved by the opposing goalkeeper, it is considered a "save." In both cases, the game continues with the opposing team gaining possession of the ball.
when the shot is stopped by the goalie or goes in
its when a player passes the ball to another player is open for a shot on the goal
One point per goal. The stick and the body must not cross the line, otherwise the point will not count. At the professional level (Major League Lacrosse only) the rules differ to include a two-point goal line 16 yards (15 m) from each goal.
In lacrosse, if the ball hits both the left and right goalposts as well as the crossbar but does not fully cross the goal line, it is not considered a goal. For a goal to be counted, the entire ball must completely cross the plane of the goal line. Hitting the posts or crossbar indicates that the shot was unsuccessful.
the fastet shot in lacrosse ever recorded is 121 mph
It is a blocked shot, not a shot on goal. To be counted as a shot on goal it has to be stopped by the goalie or a goal.
depends on the shooter. if we are talking professional players than it would most likely be a hockey shot... especially a slap shot. but that's not saying a lacrosse shot isn't hard.
Yes, a penalty shot does count as a shot on goal in hockey.
Yes, a shootout shot does count as a shot on goal in hockey.
No, a penalty shot is not considered a shot on goal because it is a separate category in soccer where a player takes a free shot at the goal from the penalty spot.
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.
