A descriptive term to describe where the player/puck is ... technically, if he
just said "goal line" he would accurate, because the goal line stretches from
one side of the ice to the other ... but many people would envision that as
just the line between the two goal posts ... so he says "goal line extended" to
signify the area along the goal line that's beyond the two posts.
