I doubt Tom will be playing. And I hope Doug plays only if fit enough as wouldn't want to see him get a longer injury

I'm not usually to whine and complain about it when we lose, but we were up against the dirtiest opposition that we have seen this season, who were taking advantage of Mr Hicks not seeming to call anything against them.
The final goal was announced at being on 65 mins dead. That isn't part of the game, thats AFTER time has run out. The last possible time you could score it 64.59. We. Were. Robbed.
EDIT - well we weren't really robbed as we would have got a point either way, but they were given a point that they did not deserve.

Just got back from the Blaze/Steelers match. Steelers have done it again ! This time they've crippled Pavol Mihalik, talked to Dan Carlson after the game and he reckons he's got a broken shoulder (bone sticking through). Incident happened after a charge from behind against the plexi - what did Hicks do - nothing, not even a penalty. Following on the attack on Cardiffs Jon Cullen - when are the referees going to stop viewing the games through Steeler coloured glasses and realise what a thoroughly dirty crew they are.

Got a note from a reputable source that Christian, Peron & Darling are in for a sorting out next time we play them. GOOD Christian acted like a complete gutless coward in his assault on Pavol. Darling was seen by many fans and players/bench laughing at the incident and Peron (As always) can't take anyone on face to face. Why does he always go from behind. Me thinks when Wade comes back, him and Andre will look to even the score in players out for the season  I for one hope they succeed. As as for the winning goal going in after 65.00 minutes well that will be a quiz question for many years to come. My problem is that Steelers don't have to resort to the tactics they showed tonight as they are more than capable of winning without them SO why persist in them. As someone said to me earlier-"Someday a Steeler will be seriously hurt in a match and other fans will say So What" |

The British Ice Hockey website has the Steelers last goal timed at 64:53
Will anything happen about the result. Because 65:00mins is the end of the game. Will it go to the Elite league or something??

No appeal will be made- presumably because it was against the all powerful Steelers. It did leave a sour taste though. With five seconds to go we were on the attack so how in the blue hell can the official site give it as 64.53

The lights behind the goal work as follows.
The end of game light is connected to the scoreboard/clock.
The goal light is set off by the goal judge.
The red goal light CANNOT go on if the Green end of game light has already come on.
The goal was in time, fact.. the scoreboard runs on seconds not 0.00 seconds like some rinks, therefore the clock ran down.
The goal was legal

There is no link between the clock and the goal light.

However, i should say that from people that were there, that they all seemed to agree that it was a valid goal.

I don't agree that it was a goal
And the ref timed it at 65:00mins, which is after the game is over. The last time a goal can be scored is 64:59 (or 64:59.999999999999 if you wanna be specific)

The last time a goal can be scored is 64:59 (or 64:59.999999999999 if you wanna be specific) Yep, that's spot on as confirmed in the IIHF Casebook. RULE 470 - DEFINITION OF A GOAL A - Referee Procedure 2. If the puck enters the net before the buzzer sounds at the end of a period (19:59) and the Referee allows the goal to count, it is not necessary for the Referee to conduct a face-off at centre ice. The Referee should ensure that the Scorekeeper records the goal at 19:59 on the Official Game Sheet. and RULE 471 - DISALLOWING A GOAL B - Interpretation 6. No goal is awarded if the time clock reads 20:00 or 0:00. |

the clcok isn't that specific. It changes to 65:00 one second after it changes to 64:59. If the goal was timed at 65:00 which it was, then its not legally a goal!

I dont think I could have both my eyes on the goal and the clock, so can you be sure?

I can't be 100% sure, but i can be quite sure.
But the ref said it was timed at 65:00mins which can't legally be a goal. It doesn't matter if it did go in at 64:59, the ref should have said it went in then, not at 65:00 mins

I for one hope they succeed.
