When you needlessly switch your hockey goalie in the middle of the game, regardless of the score and voluntarily hurt your teams chance for success.
“Pips was playing excellent! I can’t believe this idiot coach decided to pull a Philbin, putting him on the bench in the middle of a tie game and throwing in a cold goalie from the bench. Jesus Christ they just scored on the next two shots!”

When you do not allow your players to skate across the blue line with the puck and force them to play dump and chase. Also, no one is allowed to pass to the point even if they are wide open.
The points are wide open and they are not passing to them? They are forced in playing a Philbin.
Jesus, that player just dumped the puck on a breakaway? The coach is forcing them to pull a Philbin!
