I know that it does not apply in the situation being
discussed regarding the "goal-no goal", but I thought
it worth mentioning since the zebras are getting so
much airplay.
When a referee decides to stop a play in progress, there
is a certain amount of "reflex time" required to move the
whistle to his/her mouth, insert, inhale, and blow (not to
mention the amount of time it takes the sound to reach the
intended audience). In that interim, any number of things
can happen. Checks are started, pucks are shot, lines are
crossed...you get the point.
The play is supposed to be stopped when the official "decides"
to blow the whistle, and anything that happens after that
simply does not happen, unless you are talking fouls, and
that's something altogether different.
