So I finally watched the Cornell-Brown ECAC semifinal game. (Thanks for the tape, Jim.)
I need other people to confirm that I am not seeing things. Travis Bell (I think, but I am nowhere near my VCR to check right now) took a shot that the refs and the broadcasters thought went off of the crossbar. I checked the comments on the game from the archives, and nobody commented on the shot at all, but . . .
they replayed the shot during the intermission, and even though nobody commented on it, both my brother and I are 100% certain that the shot went in, hit the top of the net and came out without getting a red light.
Could someone else please check this for me?
I just checked the tape, slowed it down, and I believe the puck bounced against the boards just above the cross bar, and came back over the crossbar into the top of the crease.
...ALTHOUGH, even as I write this, I'm watching it over and over again, and the net does look like it moves a bit, doesn't it? Maybe it did go in after all....anyone else have the tape? (they replay the shot toward the end of the first intermission)

Thanks for checking. I watched again and you are absolutely right. The shot shown at intermission was the one that went off of the endboards and came out right into the slot.
