Why is a penalty canceled when a goal is scored on a delayed call?

The goalie can’t go past the red line, so why is his replacement allowed to?

Because the red-line rule was put in place specifically to protect goalies from being targeted. Up until that one was instituted, we still had goalies occasionally trying to carry the puck all the way up the ice (the year they put the rule in, Cesare Maniago skated the length of the ice and took a shot in a WHL game). It was only a matter of time before something horrible happened, so they addressed the issue proactively.

That concern doesn't really apply to the replacement player.

Why not? If someone gets tripped, the puck is recovered by the offensive team a couple seconds later and they score, the trip still warrants a penalty whether or not the penalized team got possession of it. The scoring team didn't benefit from a man advantage, weren't afforded the chance to set up with their powerplay, and the trip was still a penalty. The only thing "unfair" about the situation is on the player who was taken down illegally

Here's where we disagree: No it doesn't. In fact, no trip affects the game so much that it truly warrants giving the other team a 2 min PP. It's an overreaction by design meant to both correct a wrong and discourage players from doing it again. If a goal is scored on the play regardless, then those objectives have already been achieved and there's no need to warp the game by giving out a penalty.

If you make PPs more impactful, you give those trivial, mostly accidental events the power to decide games. Who wants that? I don't want more games where the key moment was "the time that guy fell down". Honestly, I'm kind of baffled that, during a postseason where everybody has hated the job the refs have done, people are coming up with rules that would give them even more power to decide games.

We could go back to the old concept of trying to literally restore the scoring chance by giving the tripped player a “free throw” from 20 feet in front of the net.

Because the Goalie is being replaced by a Skater
