I just hope that if you lay a big hit on someone, and they go into another player, you don't just have some guy falling and people sliding out of the way with a skating animation.

My thoughts exactly. It's not a gamebreaker, just a little bit of a letdown but I'm sure they'll have the physics and hits perfected in the next iteration.

Also to people wondering if the play is dead, if the goal light goes on the play is automatically dead right?

Not necessarily. Like my example with the puck hitting the post and bouncing out of the net, there's been times when the light went on and play continued. After a few minutes of play, the puck was finally frozen. The play was reviewed and determined that the goal judge was right in turning the light on, as the puck hitting the post (which was very audible during play in real-time) was actually the rear cross-bar in the back of the net. It ricocheted off that and back out the other side of the net, it just happened so quickly that everyone thought the puck hit the front cross-bar and didn't go into the net. The ref was immediately giving the "No-Goal" motion on that play, but because the puck came out so quick, everyone believed it was off the post and the goal judge had jumped the gun.

Red light doesn't kill the play, only the whistle.

If goal reviews are limited to high sticks and kick ins, then the play will always be dead, which is all we've had confirmed at this point. The only situation that would continue is if the ref thinks the puck didn't go in, i'm not sure if those type of goal/no goal situations are going to be in the game.

it doest matter if its a high stick or not. the puck hit the POST and never even went in

Any minute now, the Dev's will declare you the winner

yes. if the puck did in fact go in then that was just terrible puck physics. theres been a problem with that part of the net in nhl since 09 so i think it could have gone in

What a great looking series of events. No one was expecting that to happen. I bet the user did let out a roar. I would have for sure.

Very impressive.
