The pronunciation thing has always annoyed me. How do you get FaRVe out of FaVRe?
Anyway, the Favre throw was during a practice session and I can’t find a video, but there is a story link:

Re: The hockey spin move
The NHL rule book actually refers to it as spin-o-rama, and though some players think it is cheating–the puck should always be moving forward–the spin move on a penalty/shootout shot is not illegal.
The NHL ruled if the move can be made on a breakaway, it shoud be allowed on a penalty shot.
@EMET & Offside
the NHL modified their rule to make it legal, and i have no problem with that. it was done because they want to keep the entertainment level as high as possible, and it sure is entertaining.
i was referring to the minor hockey rules from my officiating career (which may have also been changed since i left the game) which clearly stated that if the puck stopped moving forward the shot was over (for example, if a player over skated the puck and it stopped moving). however, even then, a shot which bounced off the goal post and then the goalie before entering the net was a legal goal; so there has always been wiggle room.

and, in all honesty, i don’t think i would have disallowed a goal like that had it ever occurred in one of my games. i once heard protests from a team that an overtime goal had been kicked in by a player who had been knocked over in front of the goal. the shot deflected off his foot, which was higher than his head, as he fell to the ice. i figured there was no way it could have been deliberate, and if it was, it deserved to count simply for the presence of mind and the physical control it showed.

What makes you think you’re so special that you rate a personal tryout?

Catching the ball in the horns would be the same as catching it with the face mask.
Brett Favre once threw a pass so hard, the ball got stuck in the receiver’s mask.
A horn catch would be impressive, but a helmet catch…well, check this out:
