Does a goal in hockey count if the puck is inside the goalie’s glove?

Also, if anyone knows of any other ways a goal is not a goal. You know what I mean.
This would mean that the goalie catches the puck and then his glove goes past the line, not the other way around, because that is obviously a goal. Also, are there any other instances when a "goal" is not a goal?

As long as the puck crosses completely over the line it is a goal…… unless it was knocked in with a high stick or kicked in.

    yes it does, as long as the puck is fully past the red line before the whistle it is a goal

    No, if it is caught it does not count. It can’t touch the net or the area within the boundries. Those are the only circumstances of a sucessful goal unless by some rare chance the puck goes through the net, it is a goal.

    Yes it is a goal. No matter where the puck is, and it crosses the line, it is a goal.

    Meaning the puck goes flying at the net, the goalie reaches out and grabs it? That would be the complete opposite of a goal. Do you mean a situation where it crosses the line, then he grabs it? In which case if it found the back of the net (or sides I should say) or slid over the line, THEN was in the glove, it would most likely count.

    A goal can be thrown out after review it if it ricochets off a player’s skate and there is an intentional kicking motion to change the direction of the puck. Um…a goal scored after the whistle is blown doesn’t count…if the cage comes out…

    As per your new details, then no it isn’t a goal. If the puck is still doing its thing, airborne but over the line, and the goalie gloves it, it doesn’t count. If it flew over the line, then hit the net, or landed on the ice behind the line then the goalie covered up, it would be a goal. And a puck through the side of the net doesn’t count…unless you "scored" on the Sabres.

    Yes it does, only if it is obvious, but if they can’t tell where it is in the glove (which seems pretty stupid i know) and can’t be for sure if it barley crossed the line they will call it off. Dang refs……

    It would only count if it was reviewed and the puck was visible once it crossed the goal line

    ****Here is an example of what you are talking about. The puck was obviously across the line, but you couldn’t see it across the line. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq8LbcaNJco (the first 20 seconds)

    Once exception is if an opponent physically forces the goalie’s glove or any other part of his equipment into the net, causing the puck ot go in. That is an interference call.

    yeah it counts if it crosses the line befor the play stops, and the ref sees it, another way a goal isnt is if the player intentionally kickes the puck into the goal.

    Yes. this has happend to me several times it does not matter what the puck is in/under as long as the puck crosses the goal line(in the net) it is counted. This has happend to me several times when we played Raleigh they would chop at wrist and push you into the net and the refs would call it a goal. Thats why the teach goalies to catch and cover. Try not to fall backwards when you catch the puck and if so secure it into your chest(stomach area) this will prevent the puck from slipping out and your arm going of the goal line.

    Edit: Dazzle, you can’t kick the puck into the goal however it is deflected off your skate and it then it counts, as long as there is no kicking motion towards the puck. You can kick the puck any other time just not into the net.

    no matter how it happens, if the entire puck crosses the line and they can prove it passed before the whistle, assuming nothing else interferes, it is a goal
