jones but the goalie gets punished with a penalty. The kicker can't get awarded another penalty for their own error.

Maybe there should be different rules for shootouts, but I'm not convinced.

    Coombs a normal penalty is usually the result of the defending team cheating to stop the attacking team. The attacking team should have a big advantage.

      Qwiss a normal penalty is already an outsized advantage. Most of them go from nothing situations to a 75% chance of scoring a goal. Contrast with a normal shot that is 10-15% chance.

      Qwiss see the discussion with @Burnwinter above. The balance is already with the attacker, and combined with the increased athleticism and efficacy of compact defending, the risk is that teams play for the set piece too much.

        Qwiss awarding a penalty in favor of attackers who mess up their spot kick makes even less sense.

        Coombs he doesn't get punished with a penalty, he already faced one and tried to circumvent the normal distance he should keep between him and ball.

        It's just a repeat compared to a guy slipping who gets his attempt chalked off it's a very mild punishment, moral hazard even when you consider that a skied pen + goalie too early off the line is not punished either.
