if the puck is in play when the horn sounds, ie: released from a stick and sailing toward the net, why can't it be like basketball and count as a goal?
Bet the ref needed an armoured escort out of the building that night...
@BigMig5 Because basketball goals are way more common, therefore it's much more likely to happen in basketball. Hockey games aren't 98-80. They are 3-1, or 2-0. When was the last time you saw this happen? It would make no sense at all...at ALL for that rule to be established.
@Bloodfury96 Plus in basketball the game is based on gravity, so the ball is only in the air for so long. In tonight's Sharks/Canucks game Burns cleared a puck right before the final buzzer and it took about 3 seconds for it to go into the net, so that would happen a lot if the basketball rule was in hockey as well.
Sharks to Philly: TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLO.

I watched the game and screamed that I heard the period horn before the goal horn. I was right. Go Sharks.

@ragemorello Pissed off sports fans aren't really the most rational people, right call or not... That's why.
