  - Sometimes assists can be shady. Like I can get an assist if I take a shot, the goalie saves it, it bounces off a d-man's skate and then you score. -- nm - Shaun Feb 16, 13:23 2
    - I thought I saw something that was a pass that may or may not have touched a d-man. They call the goal unassisted. I thought it was assisted. - crash davis Feb 16, 13:26 1
      - They can also update scoring changes. -- nm - Shaun Feb 16, 13:31
probably being the second last person to touch the puck before a goal. -- nm - peglegpete Feb 16, 13:11 1
- On some goals, there can be two assists ... depends how the gameplay breaks down (not sure of olympic hockey allows this) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 13:12
