How many of you are going to call goaltending on the offensive team -- knowing what the penalty is for goaltending?
I've seen some backboards dance pretty good after a attempted block and in my opinion caused the ball to roll off the rim. You have no call to make but there is an advantage given to one team in this case which is not covered in the rules.
As for the not calling goaltending on the offensive team, I am confused why wouldn't we want to call that if it happens?
