It wasn't a goal because the referee lost site of the puck and blew the whistle before it went in.
Thank you.
Is that like a bad ref in football blowing the ball dead, while it is in the air and no matter what happens after the whistle is blown, it doesnt count?
I just thought this would be more of an issue for the TV crew?
Correct; once the whistle is blown play is over. But it also seems to me that some refs have a very quick whistle. If I blew a whistle every time I lost sight of the puck on my TV my neighbors would shoot me.
Unless the goalie controls the puck or it is caught in someone's uniform they should be allow to hack away.
