       | It is one of the most interesting rules in sports, and does make
       | for some incredible stories on the (rare) occasion when it is
       | invoked. I first heard of this when Scott Foster played for the
       | Blackhawks and thought it was one of the coolest things I'd ever
       | heard of in my life at the time. And I still think this is one of
       | the coolest things ever. Talk about memories that will last a
       | lifetime. Wow.
