The goal they scored, if reviewed, would have been dissallowed because there was a man in the crease who wasn't being forced into the crease by a GPR player and the puck was not in the crease. The player was also interfering with the GPR goaltender at the time. We sat there and watched it on the big screen knowing that it shouldn't be a goal, but it counted. Yeah, it not cool, but that's part of hockey.

That was a horrible display to a fantastic finish of a state championship game. Video replay should be used to pick out the kids who were throwing full bottles of soda at kids on the ice, and they should be suspended.
As for the "too many men on the ice," feel free to sign up to become a referee. It happens more often then not. The play was a quick transition, with everything to look for, it's too bad it got by them.

I remember that play but are you sure you were watching it on teh big screen? If so, the Ralph could have gotten in big trouble for this as your not supposed to show questionable calls to the arena. The 6th man goal was enver showed to the arena during the game and if it had, im sure they woud have been a lot of consequences faced by the RRHS students. And also about them trhowing stuff on the ice, both sides did it. I think that GPR players kind of asked for it by after scoring, they went up banging on the RRHS sides glass. Just my opinion.

They had at least 20 seconds to see that extra man from the time he jumped on the ice to the time the GPR coaching staff ripped him off. The last 5-8 seconds they had the RR bench telling them to look and count. There is no way they misssed it. They just didn't have the cajones to reverse the call.
Second issue I have is the fact that I heard GPR coach say he didn't know what happened and he didn't know if they had too many or not. If this is the case why was his staff in such a hurry to yank the extra skater off during the celebration of the goal? He and his staff knew from the get go they had too many and now are pleading ignorant. That is not the kind of people I want leading and being role models for young men.
Something should be done here. At least for his own sake GPR coach could admit he knew and own up to his action. Ultimately I would like to see RR crowned as Co-champion.
