n response to Rich Vehlor's question why was RPI's goal disallowed in the
Yale game, well, the ref did not see the goal go in, but he heard a "ping"
therefore he assumed that the puck had hit the crossbar.  He had asked the
goal judge if it was indeed a goal and the goaljudge said yes.  He then
proceeded to overrule the judge and disallow the goal.
I am in the pepband and have almost as good a view of the net as the goaljudge
himself.  What really happened was that the puck went in and hit the
support bar underneath the inside of the net.  I saw the net go up from
the impact of the puck, as did the goaljudge, since he commented on it to us.
My question is why bother having goal judges?
