And, if it did go in, of course you would count it. But, now if you don't give the T you're allowing an illegal act to go unpunished. When it happens at the other end in a slightly different circumstance, will you ignore it then as well?
You would count the unmade attempt based on goaltending. I agree that if you don't penalize the act and it goes on, you have created a situation for yourself and the opposng team which will require more explanation when you do decide to call it than was necessary had you made the call initially. I hope the federation still believes that we are capable of exercising good judgement and know when an act is intentional or not. If they would require three man mechanics at the varsity level, this type of situation would be addressed with more frequency and could possibly eliminate it all together.
