Ice Hockey question: Can the GK have a penalty awarded against them? If so do they get two minutes in the box and can the team sub in another GK?
Yes, and another player serves the penalty.
Goaltenders can absolutely be assessed with penalties, but in no circumstance will a goaltender be physically present in the penalty box. For two-minute minor penalties, five-minute major penalties, and ten-minute misconduct penalties assessed to the goaltender, a player from his/her team that was on the ice when the infraction occurred is chosen (by the goaltender's team) to serve the duration of the penalty.
For game misconduct penalties and in the case of the goaltender receiving three five-minute major penalties in one game, the goalie is ejected from the game and must be replaced by the backup goaltender or another member of the team.

Under IIHF rules even one 5 min major is an automatic game misconduct.
I like being wrong.I've got a bad feeling of us getting our asses kicked by Russians tomorrow...
Awesome 3rd-period comeback by the Swiss ladies for Bronze in hockey!
The Canadian ladies' comeback was nothing to sneeze at either. Epic game.
