Where does a puck go on a missed breakaway? It's not a shot on the goalie since the goalie can't save, where does the puck go, or how is its position resolved on a missed shot?

Since it's not a penalty shot (8.4) I've been doing the in range = goal, not in range resolve on goalie's card as a normal "soft" shot.

Ok so a stoppage then. Excellent, that's how we played it. Apologies, but I seem unable to keep up with all of the smaller rules that we dont use often, and I didn't want to hold up the game while I looked through the rule book to see if I could find it. I appreciate the clarifications include the actual notations in the rules so I can go and find them to peruse later.
Thanks gent's.

The rule is clear - a breakaway (&) against a goaltender is resolved as a penalty shot (8.4). Know what my first proposed rule change will be. |

I don't think any modification needs to be made. What's the difference between taking a faceoff or rolling on the goalie matrix? Any player can retrieve the faceoff and any player can retrieve the puck from the goalie save matrix. Why would we make a change that is inconsequential to the game mechanics, considering that the odds of it happening are less than 1 in 1500 of it even occurring in the first place?
If the penalty shot is 3-6 goalie can't save, would it not make sense toot just assume that the goalie covers the puck up if it's not in the requisite range?

But the goalie in this case doesn't cover the puck. It's an infraction (#) so it's a neutral zone face off.
I like the idea of if the breakaway doesn't go in, rolling on the goalie's card to see what happens. ex It's a rebound loose in the slot after the unsuccesful breakaway. Does the defence clear it before the players chasing it down try and steer it back on net as the goalie scrambles to get into position? Does the goalie freeze it? I'm waiting for the breakaway that turns into a penalty shot because Georgiev threw his stick at the shooter again.
