NHL 11 Video: Disallowed Goal, Is it a Goal or Not?

[Fiddy]

yeah, it dont matter if half the stick is above the crossbar, as long as the puck makes contact below that, then it dont matter.

Ok, its a nice feature but isn't it implemented wrong? If the ref waves it off, shouldnt the play continue until the next whistle...then, get it reviewed on video.

At first I thought it wasn't a goal, but after further review, looks good to me.

Love how the ref waived it off!

It's a goal. The puck doesn't rise after he hits it. It seems to follow a perfectly level plane into the net.

Interested to see what the review process looks like, as I didn't see it at the event. I think there was one while we were playing, but I was into what I was doing at the time...

A goal like that will definitely be a rarity. That's the only one I've ever seen with a guy on the ice batting it into the net.

Awesome to know Rammer. Thanks for the clarification.

No the play would be blown dead.

Awesome feature though. This is off topic, but it looked like there were quite a few empty seats. That would be cool if they had differences in attendance from Atlanta to say Philly
